Pileus umbilicate to infundibuliform, very thin, fibrous striate, 
smooth or with very minutely roughened surface. Gills 2-4 mm. 
broad, not very crowded, decurrent, ascending. Basidia clavate, 
25-30x8-10 ju, 4-spored. Sterigmata conic, broad at the base. 
Spores subquadrate, prominently 4-5 angled, usually 5 angled, 
6-10 ju in diameter, pink. Subhymenium of cells 6-10 u in di¬ 
ameter. Tram a of gills of long nearly parallel cells, 80-200 xio- 
15 fi , hyaline. Trama of pileus, of floccose cells, the surface ones 
more or less ascending. Cystidia none. Stems cylindrical, 
even, solid, mouse gray, white within, base sometimes with del¬ 
icate white' threads. Ground, lawn, Stewart Ave., Ithaca, N. Y., 
June 29, 1901, G. F. A., C. U. herb. No. 6078. Taste and odor 
mealy. 
Nolanea nodospora Atkinson n. sp. — Plants 6-7 cm. high 
pileus 1-1.5 cm. broad, stem 1.5-2.5 mm. thick. Entire plant dark 
brown (seal brown). Pileus campanulate, very scaly with squar- 
rose scales, flesh brown. Gills ascending, ventricose, and then 
adnate. Basidia 30-35 x8-io, 4-spored. Spores elongate, nodu¬ 
lose elongate, 12-18 x 6-9 n, flesh color on paper, faint pink under 
the microscope. Cystidia on edge of the gills, giving a hairy or 
fimbriate appearance to the edge, unevenly distributed, ventri¬ 
cose, lanceolate. Trama of gills flexuous interwoven threads. 
Trama of pileus two-layered; inner floccose; outer more com¬ 
pact and separated often by a dark line, surface with colored 
threads, rich wine color under the microscope. Stem very hairy, 
paler above, becoming fistulose, slightly enlarged at base.

PIygrophorus peckii Atkinson n. sp.— Plants gregarius or 
scattered, 6-10 cm. high, pileus 1-2.5 cm. broad, stems 2-4 mm. 
thick. Pileus convex with the margin somewhat incurved, in 
age and when expanded often depressed or slightly umbilicate, 
entire plant buff to pinkish or vinaceous buff, when damp showing 
fine striations on margin of pileus, sometimes the pinkish color 
showing only in the depressed portion of the pileus; entire plant 
very slimy, when young sometimes the slime is greenish in color. 
Gills broad, distant, arcuate and as the pileus expands decurrent. 
Spores elliptical, slightly inequilateral, smooth, granular, 6-8 x 
4-5 n . Stems fragile, hollow, often splitting longitudinally. 
Odor foetid. Sometimes when the plants are young they are cov¬ 
ered with a greenish slime as in H. psittacinus, which gives a 
green color to the pileus and the upper part of the stem and some¬ 
times to the gills, so that the plant has a different aspect, but it 
has the same odor and the spores are the same. It differs from 
H. foetens in the pileus and stem not being scaly, and from H. 
psittacinus in the arcuate and decurrent gills and the odor. Some¬ 
times the gills are white and the stem yellowish. Ground, woods,.
