30 SANSHI IMAI<br />
odour none; lamellae free, white, crowded, rounded behind, broad,<br />
broader in front, ventricose; stipe 6-10 cm. long, 8-12 mm. thick,<br />
slightly attenuated upward, whitish or brownish, densely covered by<br />
powdery-floccose scales or shaggy above the vol va, scales co1ored<br />
with buff-pink or congo-pink, stuffed or solid; volva large, membranous,<br />
up to 4.5 cm. high, 2.5 cm. thick, persistent, firm or soft,<br />
ensheathing the base of stipe, about three-fourths of the length free,<br />
lobed at the apex, brownish or whitish; spores white in mass, hyaline,<br />
ellipsoidal-oblong or subcylindrical, 10-15 X 5-6 {.1, smooth, granular<br />
in contents.<br />
Hab. on the ground in woods. Autumn. Ishikari (Nopporo).<br />
Distr. Endemic.<br />
Jap. name. Shiro-uroko-tsurutake (IMAI).<br />
The spores of this fungus are longer than those of the preceding<br />
species, Am. agglutinata, and the pileus is more scaly. But COKER'S<br />
fungus of A. agglutinata is closely allied to this fungus. The two may<br />
be a single species but our fungus is a more scaly form.<br />
Some European authors consider that A. agglutinata is identical<br />
with Amanitopsis baccata (FR.) SACCo If BRESADOLA'S fungus is the<br />
true A. baccata, the figure suggests that it is a different species from<br />
ours.<br />
7. Amanitopsis avellaneosquamosa IMAI<br />
Bot. Mag. (Tokyo), XLVII, 430, 1933.<br />
Solitary or scattered, edibility doubtful. Pileus 5-10 cm. broad,<br />

white, thick, fleshy, taste and odour none; lamellae white, then<br />
tinged with yellowish color, free or remote, edge slightly wavy,<br />
moderately crowded, broader in front, nearly ventricose; stipe 9-<br />
17 cm. long, 6-20 mm. thick, equal or attenuated upward, scaly, subconcolorous<br />
or slightly paler, somewhat powdery floccose, hollow or<br />
stuffed; volva membranous, large, ensheathing the base of stjpe,<br />
