Amanita adnata. (Stevenson p. 12. Fries Epic. p. 28.) 
Amanita onusta. Pileus 12-15 cm. broad, brownish gray, clothed with 
dust colored warts which easily rub off, (persistent about the dark center) leaving 
spots of a deeper brown ; margin thick, not at all striate; stem 7 cm. high, 2\ cm. 
thick, attenuated upwards, enlarging as it enters the cap, farinose, ringless, white, 
stuffed, concentrically squamulose below, the large bulb firmly rooting. Flesh 
and gills white, the latter changing to fulvous hue in drying. Slightly acrid. 
Stem very glutinous, at length hard and fibrous. (Howe, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club. 
Vol. 5, p. 42.) 
Amanita pusilla. Pileus thin, broadly convex or nearly plane, sub- 
glabrous, slightly umbonate, even on the margin, pale brown ; lamellae narrow, 
thin, close, free, becoming brownish; stem short, hollow, bulbous, the bulb mar¬ 
gined by the remains of the membranous volva, spores broadly elliptical, 5-6 me. 
long, 4 me. broad. Pileus about 2\ cm. broad; stem l|-2£ cm. long, 2-4 mm. 
thick. (Peck, 50th Report.) 
Section 7. 
Amanita nivalis. Pileus at first ovate, then convex or plane, smooth, 
striate on the thin margin , white, sometimes tinged with yellow or ochraceous on the 
disk, flesh white; lamellae subdistant, white, free; stem equal, rather tall, nearly 
smooth, bulbous, stuffed, white, the volva very fragile, soon breaking up into frag¬ 
ments or sometimes persisting in the form of a collar-like ring at the upper part of the bulb ; 
spores globose, 7-10 me. in diameter. Plant 10-15 cm. high, pileus 5-7 cm. broad, 
stem 4-8 mm. thick. (Peck, 33rd Report, p. 48 ) 
The above is Prof Peck’s description of the American plant. As stated in part 1, we do not 
think it applies to Greville’s plant. 
Amanita strang'ulata. (Stevenson p. 11. Fries Epic., p. 27.) 
Amanita farinosa. Pileus mealy, with plicate margin. Gills entire, 
white, unchangeable. Stipe bulbose, solid (*) livid. Related to vaginata but 
smaller and not furnished with a volva. (t) Pileus with the margin elegantly 
plicate, mealy, principally in the center, where the powder is a copious heap and 
can be wiped off. An inch broad. Stipe mealy. Ring wanting. Plant two 
inches high. (Schw., Syn. Fung. Car, Sup. No. 553.) 
(*) Peck states “stuffed or hollow.” 
(j) It is evident that Schweinitz description “nec volva instructa” must not be taken literally 
else it would not be an Amanita. Peck describes the volva as evanescent. 
Amanita pubescens. Pileus pubescent, yellow, margin involute. Gills 
white. Stipe short, bulbous, pubescent, white, becoming yellowish. Pileus cov¬ 
ered with a thin pubescence. Stipe short, scarcely exceeding an inch. Bulb 
fleshy. Volva vanishing. Ring none. (Schw., Syn. Fung. Car. Sup. No. 554.) 
VOLVARIA. 
Volvaria bombycina. (Stevenson, p. 183. Fries Epic , p. 182.) 
Volvaria Peckii. Pileus thin, convex, glabrous, viscid, finely striate on 
the margin, whitish; lamellae rather close, thin, pale flesh color; stem slightly 
tapering upward, glabrous solid, whitish, with a loose, well developed membran¬ 
ous volva at the base; spores even, subelliptical, 7-10 me. long, 5-6 me. broad, 
stem 7-9 cm. long, 6-8 mm. thick. (Peck, 48th Report.) 
Volvaria Loveiana. (Stevenson p. 184. Fries Epic., p. 182.) 
Volvaria parvula. (Stevenson p. 186. Fries Epic., p. 184.) 
Volvaria stria tula. Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, minutely silky, 
striate on the margin and somewhat reticulate when dry, white; lamellae nar¬ 
row, free, white, becoming flesh color ; stem short, glabrous, white, with the cup¬ 
like remains of the membranous volva at the base ; spores subglobose, uninucle¬ 
ate, 7 me. long, nearly as broad. Pileus 1-2 cm. broad; stem about 3 cm. long, 
1-2 mm. thick. Wet ground under weeds. (Peck, Bull. Torr. Club. Yol. 22, p. 488)
