9. Volvaria emendatior. Pileus umbonate, smooth, white. Volva 
forming merely a rim around the stem. (See Appendix, p. 17.) 
Described by Berkeley from dried specimens from New England, Sprague, and N. C., 
Curtis. The author does not state whether the pileus is viscid or dry which leaves us in doubt 
in which section to pla n e it, though it is probably viscid as most smooth species are. There is 
no other record of the plant. 
10. Volvaria viscosa. Pileus campanulate-convex, very viscous, och- 
raceous. Stipe bulbous. (See Appendix, p. 17.) 
The habitat is not stated though presumably in the ground. Described from Nebraska by 
Clements, no other record. ' 
11. Volvaria speciosa. Pileus grey, umber at the disk, viscous. Stipe 
villous at the base. (See Stevenson, p. 185.) 
“Common in cultivated soil, especially grain fields and along roads A fine edible Agaric 
and our most abundant one in California”—McClatcliie. Not reported elsewhere save Wise., 
Bundy, and that doubtful. 
12. Volvaria gloiocepliala. Volva fuliginous, glutinous, striate on 
the margin. Stipe smooth. (See Stevenson, p. 185.)
