GILL FUNGI Amanita muscaria Fly Cap Cap large, 10-15 cm. wide, bright red or orange, becoming yellow or even whitish in age, roughened with many thick white angular fragments of the volva, which often disappear in age, margin striate, globose to convex, more rarely expanded; stem stout, 8-15 cm. by 2-4 cm., white, scaly, bulbous, hollow, ring large, apical, torn, volva forming several con- centric scaly rings on the bulb; gills free or touching, white or yellowish; spores elliptic, 8- 10 X 6-8;a, The name refers to the use of this fungus to kill flies. Frequent in woodland, forest or clearing from June to frost; deadly poisonous. AMAXITOrSIS The cap and stem are read- ily separable as in Amanita and L e p i 0 t a, but the entire ab- sence of a ring at all stages dis- tinguishes this genus from its rel- atives. In our one species the volva is large and sheathing. The generic name indicates the rela- tionship with Amanita. Amanitopsis vaginata Sheath Stem Cap medium or large, 4-10 cm. wide, gray, yellowish, mouse- colored or brownish, thin, smooth, ovoid or bell-shaped to convex or expanded, beautifully striate-ridg- ed from the margin toward the disk; stem tall, 8-20 cm. by 6-9 mm., white, mealy or smooth, stuffed or hollow, volva a soft close sheath which collapses readily; gills free, white; spores globoid, S-lO/i. The name refers to the sheathing volva. Frequent in grassland and woodland, from June to October; edible, but not readily distinguished by the beginner from certain poisonous species of Fkjure Amam ropsis ^'ACI^'-\TA.
