Some New Species of Fungi 
111 
This species has been confounded with A. frostiana, and 
possibly the larger specimens with A. muse aria. It differs from 
both in the pileus not being striate, and from A. frostiana in the 
volva not being ocreate, and from A. muse aria in the stem being 
smooth, that is, in not having the coarse concentrically aranged 
scales. 
Ground under Spruce hemlock east of Woodwardia Swamp, 
Freeville, N. Y., June 30, 1898, G. F. A. C. U. herb. No. 2420; 
woods north of Fall Creek, Ithaca, July 25, 1902, Bradfield & 
Thom, C. U. herb. No. 9963, and other places at Ithaca. It was 
quite common at Ithaca during the summer of 1902. It is the 
common yellow Amanita in the Adirondack woods. 
Amanita flavorubescens Atkinson n. sp.— Plants scat¬ 
tered of gregarious, sometimes with the bases joined, 10-14 cm. 
high, caps 6-10 cm. broad, stems 6-12 mm. thick. Pileus con¬ 
vex to expanded, smooth, with very faint striae on the margin, 
covered with thick, chrome yellow, floccose patches of the volva, 
margin of pileus yellow, center wood brown to raw umber, flesh 
thin, yellowish even under the brown cuticle over the center. 
Gills long elliptical free, white, not crowded. Basidia clavate, 
40-50x9-11 u, 4-spored. Spores oboval, granular, smooth, 8-10 
x 6-8 u . Tram a of cap floccose, outer layer more compact and 
the threads slender. Stem even, with an ovate bulb, floccose 
scaly with fine floccose yellow scales above, and with reddish 
scales below. Annulus thin, membranous, yellow, 3 cm. from 
the apex of the stem, sometimes tearing into fragments. Volva 
yellow, breaking up into fragments. 
This species is near A. rubescens, but the margin of the 
pileus, the A^olva, annulus and the upper part of the stem is canary 
yellow. Bruises of the pileus and the upper part of the stem 
do not turn red, (or only slightly so and very tardily), but 
bruises of the lower part of the stem turn slowly reddish. 
Ground, Coy Glen, Ithaca, N. Y., July 22, 1902, C. H. Kauff¬ 
man, C. U. herb. No. 9884. The species has also been received 
from Connecticut and from Pennsylvania. 
Amanitopsis albocreata Atkinson n. sp.—Plants 10-13 
cm. high, pileus 5-8 cm. broad, stems 6-12 mm. thick. Pileus 
convex to expanded, viscid when moist, white, or pale maize 
yellow in the center, or sometimes entirely pale maize yellow, 
finely striate and minutely tuberculate on the margin, covered 
with floccose patches of the volva which are easily removed when 
moist, but in drying become firmly agglutinated to the viscid 
surface; flesh very thin except at the center, white. Gills 
rounded in front, narrowed behind, 3-6 mm. broad, free or slightly 
adnexed, edge floccose. Basidia 30-45 x 7-10 u, 4-spored. 
Spores globose, white, smooth, granular when young, with a 
large oil drop when old. Subhymenium of globose cells 6-12/4 in
