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 />

convex to plane, at length depressed at the center; surface dry,<br />

covered with light pinkish-buff to aveHaneous colored, easily separable<br />

scales, densely coalescent at the center, striate on the margin; context<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 />

about two-thirds free above, up to 5 cm. long and 4 cm. thick, whitish<br />

or dull-pinkish, persistent; spores white in mass, hyaline, ellipsoidal,<br />

9-10.5 x 5-6 fl .
