Sometimes altogether adnate or with the margin only free, or 

 with little reflexed pileoli springing as it were from the surface 

 of the adnate portion, or broadly reflexed and densely imbricate, 

 ferruginous brown, with often a purple tinge ; margin usually 

 brighter and becoming smooth. Hymenium sometimes concen- 

 trically undulate. In addition to the normal setae, stout cylin- 

 drical, obtuse, thin-walled, pale brown bodies, intermediate be- 

 tween seta? and cystidia, are sparingly met with in the hymenium. 

 Somewhat resembling H. tabacina, but distinguished at once by 

 the colourless spores.
