brown when moist, whitish when dry; lamellae thin, close, wider 
behind, adnate or decurrent, often wavy, branched or even anasto¬ 
mosing, brownish ferruginous; stem firm, hollow, tapering down¬ 
ward, clothed with grayish white fibrils; spores broadly elliptic, 
.0003 in. long, .00024 broad. 
Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad; stem i to 2 in. long, 1 to 2 lines thick. 
Dung in old roads in woods. Connery pond, North Elba. August. 
The irregular character of the pileus and lamellae give this plant 
a deformed appearance. 
Deconica semistriata n. sp. 
Pileus thin except on the prominent broadly umbonate disk, gla¬ 
brous, somewhat wavy on the margin and striate to the umbo, gray¬ 
ish brown, paler when dry and less distinctly striate, the broad 
umbo yellowish; lamellae broad, distant or subdistant, adnate or 
slightly decurrent, purplish brown, whitish on the edge; stem equal, 
firm, short, slightly floccose-fibrillose, stuffed with a whitish pith, 
colored like the pileus; spores compressed, suborbicular, .00025 to 
.0003 in. long, .00025 broad. 
Pileus 4 to 5 lines broad; stem 8 to 10 lines long, .5 line thick. 
Damp ground in woods. Gansevoort. July. 
Easily distinguished by the broad convex umbo-like disk and the 
widely striate margin. 
Gomphidius vinicolor n. sp. 
Pileus thick, fleshy, convex or nearly plane, viscid, dark red, be¬ 
coming blackish in drying; lamellae distant, decurrent, olive brown 
or blackish when mature; stem subequal, glabrous, solid, vinous 
red, paler within; spores oblong-fusiform, .0007 to .0008 in. long, 
.00024 to .0003 broad. 
Pileus 1 to 2.5 in. broad; stem 1.5 to 2.5 in. long, 2 to 4 lines 
thick. 
Under pine trees. Lake Mohonk. October. 
This species is closely related to Gomphidius roseus, from which it 
differs in the color of the stem, lamellae and flesh. The gluten of 
the pileus becomes blackish in drying and sometimes separates in a 
radiating manner, revealing the reddish color of the surface of the
