Albion, Orleans county, N.Y., October, 1898, _Dr. Cushing_. Several specimens received were clearly referable to C. pithyophila, though varying in having caps deeply depressed but not umbilicate. The white tomentosity at base was present but indistinct. Four specimens were eaten and found good. Eaten enjoyably by Dr. Cushing. =C. fus´cipes= Pk.—_fuscus_, dirty; _pes_, a foot. =Pileus= thin, broadly convex or plane, umbilicate, glabrous, whitish and striatulate when moist, pure white when dry, odor and taste farinaceous. =Gills= nearly plane, subdistant, adnate or slightly decurrent, white. =Stem= equal, glabrous or slightly mealy at the top, hollow, dingy brown when moist, paler when dry. =Spores= globose, 5–6µ. =Pileus= 4–8 lines broad. =Stem= about 1 in. long. Under pine trees. Carrollton. September. _Peck_, 44th Rep. N.Y. State Bot. Edible. Its small size gives it minor importance, but a quantity of it makes an excellent meal. =C. can´dicans= Pers.—_candico_, to be shining white. Entirely white. =Pileus= about 1 in. across, flesh thin, convex then plane or slightly depressed, umbilicate, regular or slightly excentric, even, with an adpressed silkiness, shining, shining white when dry. =Gills= adnate then slightly decurrent, crowded, very thin, narrow, straight. =Stem= 1–2 in. long, 1–2 lines thick, even, glabrous, cartilaginous, polished, equal, hollow, base incurved, rooting, downy. =Spores= broadly elliptical or subglobose, 5–6×4µ. _Massee._ Among damp fallen leaves, etc. Entirely white, small, rather tough; approaching Omphalia in the structure of the stem. The following form is described by Fries as occurring in pine woods: Stem thin, flexuous, base glabrous; pileus plane, not umbilicate, naked (without silky down). Gills scarcely decurrent. A remarkable form but scarcely to be separated as a species. _Fries._ Quite common in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. The caps are excellent when well cooked. =C. dealba´ta= Sow.—_dealbo_, to whitewash. =Pileus= about 1 in. or a little more broad, white, _slightly fleshy, tough_, convex then plane and at length revolute and undulated, always dry (not watery in rainy weather), even, smooth, _somewhat shining_, but as if innately pruinose under a lens. =Flesh= thin, arid, white. =Stem= 1 in. long, 2 lines thick, _stuffed, wholly fibrous_, at length also tubed, equal, but often ascending, whitish, mealy at the apex. =Gills= _adnate_, scarcely decurrent, thin, _crowded_, white. =Pileus= sometimes orbicular, sometimes upturned and wavy. _Odor weak, pleasant_, but not very remarkable. Most distinct from A. candicans in the nature of the stem. Edible. Its top is _exceedingly like ivory_. Its charming flavor is exceeded by very few other fungi. _Stevenson._ Among leaves and grass. Woodland Cemetery, Philadelphia. This charming fungus is common over the land. I have known it since 1881, and found it from North Carolina to West Virginia.
