cially i n the larger and thicker individuals, deep brown inclining 

 to red, fiuely velvety or pubescent ; substance brown like the 

 pileus ; hymenium ochraceous or tinged with umber, sometimes 

 finely wrinkled towards the edge. 



This species has mauy points in common with S. rugosum, but 

 more especially with 8. subpileatum. Though running over the 

 matrix, and at first adnate with it, the border becomes widely 

 reflected and lobed. Thick specimens approach the magnificent 

 8. princess. (Berkeley.)

 dulo, antice glabrescente subtiliter lineato ; stipite luteo, velutino,

 globosa?, 5-6 H diam.— Berk, in Hook. Kew Journ. Bot. viii. 

 p. 274. (Type in Herb. Berk. Kew. n. 3759.) 



On wood on the banks of the Eio Negro ; Brazil. 



Pileus | inch long, § inch broad, spathulate or subflabelliform,
