the former by the adnexed lamellae and from the latter by its 
smoother pileus and solid stem. The pileus is silky rather than 
villous. 
Pholiota marginella n. sp, 
Plate B, fig. 12-20. 
Pileus fleshy, convex becoming nearly .plane, glabrous, hygro- 
phanous, yellowish red or subferruginous when young or moist, 
then commonly striatulate on the margin, yellowish buff or whitish 
when dry, the young margin slightly silky with the whitish fibrils 
of the veil; lamellae close, thin, adnexed, minutely eroded on the 
edge, whitish, becoming dark ferruginous; stem flexuous, subequal, 
fibrillose, pruinose or mealy above the slight evanescent annulus, 
stuffed or hollow, pallid or whitish, sometimes with a white mycelioid 
tomentum at the base; spores elliptic, .00024 to .0003 in. long, 
.00016 to .0002 broad. 
Pileus 1 to 2 in. broad; stem 2 to 4 in. long, 2 to 4 lines thick. 
Single or caespitose on decaying wood. North Elba. June. 
The species is related to P. marginata, from which it differs in its 
paler color, even or merely striatulate margin, adnexed lamellae and 
uniformly colored stem. In drying the moisture first disappears 
from the center of the pileus. 
Inocybe rigidipes n. sp. 
Pileus thin, convex or subcampanulate, becoming expanded, um- 
fionate, squamulose, striate on the margin when dry, tawny gray; 
lamellae broad, subdistant, narrowed behind, slightly adnexed, 
tawny ochraceous, commonly whitish on the edge; stem rather 
slender, flexuous, rigid, firm, solid, slightly pruinose, colored like 
the pileus; spores globose, echinate, .0005 in. broad. 
Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad; stem 1.5 to 2.5 in. long, about 1 line 
thick. 
Damp clayey ground in shaded places. Menands, Albany county. 
August. 
When dried specimens are soaked in water the shriveled stems 
recover the plump condition of the fresh state. The spores are 
similar to those of Inocybe calospora, but they are a little larger. The
