94—COIyLYBIA STRICTIPES. 
Fig. 9. 
Collybia strictipes, (usually solitary.'' 
Fig. 10. 
Colly bia strictipes, (young plant.) 
Stem rarely striate as here shown. 
Pileus convex or explanate, even, smooth, hy- 
grophanous, pale reddish color with darker reddish 
spots. Flesh white. Gills very narrow, close, ad- 
nate. Stipe pure white, even, smooth, hollow. 
It grows singly or several together attached by 
copious mycelium to moist leaves. In the first 
specimen collected, the photograph of which we 
present, the plant was more csespitose than we 
have since found it, and the young stem was dis¬ 
tinctly striate, as shown in our figure, which 
would throw the plant to the previous section. 
We have had opportunity to since observe it rather 
frequent and have not found any striate stems. 
The pileus is very peculiarly spotted, by which 
the plant will be recognized. These spots are 
similar to those shown on the illustrations of 
maculata, but the stem differs essentially from 
that species.
