57. LEPIOTAi GLATFELTERI Peck, Bull. Torr. Club, 
1904; Sylloge XVII. 7. 
Pileus fleshy, convex or nearly plane, obtuse or slightly um- 
bonate; the flesh thin, white; the dermis minutely innate-fibrillose, 
gray, gray-brown, sometimes purple tinged, the center often 
darker, the margin sometimes radiately rimose. Stipe subequal, 
firm, stuffed or hollow, whitish; the annulus thin, persistent. 
Lamellae close, lanceolate, free, white or whitish; spores elliptic, 
6-8 x 4-5 mic. 
Growing on the ground in woods. Missouri, Glatfelter. 
Pileus 2.5-5 cm - m diameter, the stipe 4-5 cm. long and 2-4 mm. 
thick. 
58. LEPIOTA PHAEOSTICTA Morgan sp. nov. 
Pileus fleshy, sub-ovoid with a blunt apex, expanded and ex- 
planate; the flesh very thin, white; the dermis radiately fibrillose, 
the cuticle soon separating into very minute dark scales, which 
are visible as minute black points on the white surface. Stipe 
tapering upward from a clavate base, white, solid, glabrous; the 
annulus membranaceous, persistent. Lamellae close, white, taper¬ 
ing inward, free and rather remote; spores elliptic-oblong, 
obliquely apiculate, 5-6 x 3.0-3.5 mic. 
Subcaespitose; growing out of rotten logs in woods. Pres¬ 
ton, O. Pileus 10-15 mm - in diameter, the stipe 15-20 mm. long 
and 1-2 mm. thick. 
59. LEPIOTA NEOPHANA Morgan sp. nov. 
Pileus fleshy, ovoid then campanulate and expanded, sub- 
umbonate, the flesh thin, firm, white; the dermis thin, tough, the 
surface smooth and glabrous, buff to pale umber, dark brown in 
the center, the cuticle contiuous or at maturity sometimes crack¬ 
ing into irregular areolae. Stipe slender, subequal, tough, fistu¬ 
lous, white above the annulus, pale umber below, with a white- 
fibrillose cuticle. Lamellae broad, close, white, obtuse behind, 
free, approximate; spore oblong, obliquely apiculate, 4-5 x 3 mic. 
Growing on the ground in woods. Preston, O. Pileus 2-3 
cm. in diameter; the stipe 3-4 cm. long and 2-3 mm. thick. The 
peculiarity of the plant is its toughness in all parts, its subco- 
reaceous texture. It belongs more properly in Tribe I.
