THE ROSY-SPORED AGARICS.

(The spores are rose color, pink, flesh or salmon color.)

	Stipe central.	1
	Stipe eccentric or none and pileus lateral.	Claudopus.	[149]
1—	Pileus easily separating from the stipe, gills free.	2
	Pileus confluent with the stipe and of the same texture, gills attached, in some becoming almost free.	3
2—	Volva present and distinct, annulus wanting.	Volvaria.	[140]
	Volva and annulus wanting.	Pluteus.	[138]
3—	Stipe fleshy to fibrous, margin of pileus at first incurved.	4
	Stipe cartilaginous.	5
4—	Gills sinuate.	Entoloma.	[143]
	Gills decurrent.	Clitopilus.	[142]
5—	Gills not decurrent (or if so only by a minute tooth), easily separating from the stipe.	6
	Gills decurrent, pileus umbilicate.	Eccilia.	[148]
6—	Pileus slightly convex, margin at first incurved.	Leptonia.	[147]
	Pileus bell-shaped, margin at first straight and pressed close against the stipe.	Nolanea.

No species of Nolanea are described here.

(The spores are dark brown or purplish brown.)

	Pileus easily separating from the stem; gills usually free.	1
	Pileus continuous with the stem; gills attached.	2
1—	Volva wanting, annulus present. (Psalliota Fr.)	Agaricus.	[18]
	Volva present, annulus wanting.	Chitonia.
	Volva and annulus wanting.	Pilosace.
2—	Veil present.	3
	Veil wanting or obsolete.	4
3—	Annulus present, gills attached.	Stropharia.	[31]
	Annulus wanting, veil remaining attached to margin of pileus.	Hypholoma.	[26]
4—	Stipe tenacious, margin of pileus first incurved.	5
	Stipe fragile, margin of pileus at first straight.	Psathyra.
5—	Gills sub-triangularly decurrent.	Deconica.
	Gills not decurrent.	Psilocybe.

But few species of Psathyra, Deconica, Chitonia and Pilosace are noted from the United States. None are here described.
