only in traces visible, in the case of numerous other specimen, however, there is a little erect ring left on the preparations. In the pileus the flesh whitish, in the stem pinkish-brownish turning slowly wine-red at the cut surface. Smell weak but agréable, slightly resembling the smell of Anthriscus cerefolius. The spores with a tint of yellow under the microscope ; they are elliptic ; mostly with a little drop in them ; small, 3—4,5 X 2—3,2 it. Basidia 4-spored, measuring 15—17 x 4—5 p in general. Cheilocystidia club-shaped; measuring 23—25 x 7,8—10,9p. The cuticle is made up of hymeniform cells: 18—30— (38) x 8,5—12,4—17 p. MOSER (1967) considers the name L. scobinella (FR.) GILL, as valid for this species. According to the description of GILLET (1874), however, L. scobinella is a greater-sized fungus with a darkly squamous pileus, and it is such also according to the description published by REA (1922). The rich Hungarian material well conforms to both the description and the figure published by LANGE (1935, Pl. 13/1), moreover, may even be rosy when young. According to the literature this species is rare in Europe (LANGE 1935, KÜHNER 1936, PILÂT 1951, BUCH 1952, KÜHNER & ROMAGNESI 1953) and in Michigan, North America (SMITH 1954). Our most frequent small-sized Lepiota species grows singly or in cohorts in our locust-tree woods and pine-plantations on sand.

Description : Pileus 1,4—3,5—(4,5) cm in diameter; when young hemispherical, then obtuse gibbous-convex, finally expanded, margin occasionally curled up and thus the middle of the pileus is depressed; the young ones beautiful rosy or whitish-rosy, rosy isabel-coloured, brownish, later paler, and the middle rosy-brownish to brownish ; its surface felted-granulose-floccose or finely squamulose. Gills free; white or cream-coloured; 1—3—(4) mm wide. Stem 1,8—5x0,15— 0,3—(0,5) cm; equal; white to light rosy, later only in the upper part whitish, Lepiota subincarnata LANGE (Fig. 2) Fig 2.
