=C. fra´grans= Sow.—_fragrans_, fragrant. Smell strong, spicy. =Pileus= about 1 in. across. =Flesh= rather thick; convex, soon expanded and slightly depressed or umbilicate, even, glabrous, hygrophanous, uniform watery-white, disk not darker, whitish when dry. =Gills= slightly decurrent, rather crowded, 1 line broad, distinct, whitish. =Stem= about 2 in. long, equal, slightly curved, elastic, glabrous, whitish, stuffed then hollow. In woods among moss, etc. Distinguished from other species resembling it in color and size, by the fragrant smell resembling aniseed. _Massee._ =Spores= 6×4µ. _W.G.S._ Found in West Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. July to severe frosts. _McIlvaine._ Edible. The strong taste of anise is not lost in cooking. =C. pino´phila=—pine loving. =Pileus= thin, convex, umbilicate or centrally depressed, glabrous, moist, pale tan-color, paler or alutaceous when dry. =Gills= moderately close, subarcuate, adnate or slightly decurrent, whitish. =Stem= equal, stuffed or hollow, glabrous or subpruinose, colored like the pileus. =Spores= nearly elliptical, 4–6µ long; odor and taste resembling that of fresh meal. =Plant= 1–2 in. high. =Pileus= about 1 in. broad. =Stem= 1–2 lines thick. Ground under pine trees. Albany and Ticonderoga. July and August. _Peck_, 31st Rep. N.Y. State Bot. Quite plentiful in pine woods of New Jersey. Edible; pleasant. [Illustration] =COLLY´BIA= Fr. _Gr._—a small coin. =Pileus= fleshy, usually thin, _margin incurved_ at first, not corrugated. =Stem= different in substance from the pileus, but confluent with it; hollow, with a cartilaginous bark, internally cartilaginous or soft, often rooting. =Gills= free or obtusely adnexed, membranaceous, soft. Growing on the ground, wood, leaves and decaying fungi. In Clitocybe and Tricholoma the substance of the stem and pileus is alike; they differ in the character of the stem. Tricholoma has no distinct bark-like coat, and in Clitocybe the stem is covered with minute fibers. In Mycena as in Collybia the stem is different in substance from the pileus, but is distinguished by the margin of the pileus being straight. It is most closely allied to Marasmius, which is characterized by its tough coriaceous substance, which when dried fully revives and expands on being moistened. The line between them can not always be closely drawn, and there are numerous species which it is difficult to place with certainty in either genus. This does not apply to the fleshy edible species of this genus as they are quite distinct from Marasmius. Peck’s 49th Report contains a monograph of the New York species of Collybia, supplemented by one of those found in other states.
