92—COLLYBIA MYRIADOPHYLLA. 
Pileus hygrophanous, thin, convex-plane, lilac 
color when fresh, brownish when dry, even, (not 
striate or striatnlate.) Gills very numerous , close, lilac 
color. Stem equal, slender, lilac color, minutely 
scurfy. 
This plant is very rare, but I have collected a few 
specimens on several occasions, always growing on 
logs. Prof. Peck ascribes brown or reddish-brown 
color to pileus and stem and lilac color to gills. 
Our specimens were peculiar in being almost con- 
colorous, a beautiful distinct lilac color. They are 
also larger than original description. We have 
placed this with the smooth stem species, but the 
stem when dry is very minutely scurfy. The very 
close numerous gills (the plant is well named), have a 
glaucous appearance when turned to the light.

98—COLLYBIA COLOREA. 
Pileus plane, even, (not striate),smooth, uniform, 
dark yellow, margin slightly incurved, exceeding 
the gills. Gills yellow^ narrow, close, attached. 
Flesh of pileus and stem yellow, that of the pileus 
slightly darker than the stem. Stem tough, cartila¬ 
ginous, straight, smooth, hollow, yellow, slightly 
white myceloid at the base. 
This plant is peculiar in being yellow in all its 
parts. The pileus is slightly hygrophanous, drying 
lighter in color but turning reddish-brown when ex¬ 
siccated. It grew only on rotten wood, and I have 
collected it but a few times. I do not question but 
that it is the same as C. luteo-olivacea, B. P., but 
prefer to use Prof. Peck’s name applied to a grow¬ 
ing plant rather than Berkeley’s previous but imper¬ 
fect (dried specimen) description.
