. Annual report of the Agricultural Experiment Station. Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). 22 Bulletin 138. and so this plant is placed in the genus* Lepiota instead of in Af:;aricns^ though all the other generic characters are identical. A few specific points might be described more in detail. The pileus is usually (juite smooth, though in some specimens the surface shows numerous very fine cracks, which give it a granular appearance. The pileus is usually very symmetrical, rounded when young and strongly convex when mature. The flesh is soft and white, but remains much firmer in age, and when picked, than does that of A-;anciis caDipestris. The veil is also firmer than in the case of Agaricics campestris. It separates cleanly from the margin of the pileus, as well as from the stem, so that it forms a perfect collar or ring, which in spme cases may be moved on the stem. The lines of separa- tion and the firm veil are clearly shown in the plant at the left hand in figure 102. In old specimens the ring sometimes is torn, and may disappear. The stem is near- ly cylindrical, 5-10 cm. (2-4 inches) long and ^^-1% cm. in diameter, and is slightly en- larged or bulbous below. It is nearly hollow, as shown in figure 103, though tin's cylindrical space is usually stuffed with loose cottony tlireads. The Lepiotii naucina is aii edible species, and is valued as highly the Agaric lis campestris by many who have eaten it. Like the Agaricus canpesiiis it is also an P^uropean 104.—Lcpiola naucina.
