is constant as to color, well shown in Cooke’s plate, which I consider 
one of the truest plates in his series. Sometimes in wet weather the 
fibrils (mostly) wash off. This is an anomalous species in the genus 
Collybia, and it is questionable if it is not a better Tricholoma. It is 
more apt to be looked for among the Tricholomas. The plant described 
by Prof. Peck as Tricholoma prsefoliatum and the plant referred b} r 
him to Tricholoma hordum are, Prof. Peck states, really forms of this 
species.

Collybia striatulata, (natural size.) 
89—COTPYBIA STRIATURATA, p. t. 
Pileus convex, then explanate, hygrophanous, light brown when 
wet, much lighter when dry, strongly striatulate when wet , smooth. Gills 
broad, distant, attached. Stem long, hollow, fragile, strongly striate, 
smooth. 
I am very doubtful about this plant, as when wet it differs from 
all others I know in its strong striatulation. Collybias are usually but 
faintly striatulate, if at all. The striatulations suggest the genus 
Mycena, but the plant has the collybia shape. I did not notice any odor 
when collected, though I probably would not have done so had there
