On the ground. Much eaten by the smaller marsupial 
animals. 
Pileus 1-6 inches broad convex fleshy, shining, adorned 
especially in the centre with pyramidal wart-like scales, veil 
at first rather thick, soon vanishing from the stem and at- 
tached to the inflected edge of the pileus. Stem about 
1 inch high with a very thick bulbous base which is elongated 
below into a thick pyramidal root. Gills free or only ad- 
nexed, broadish with their interstices smooth, white. Spores 
white, broadly elliptic when seen from behind, but when 
viewed laterally the inner side is nearly straight. 
À magnificent species. which comes near to 4g. Vittadini, 
Morett. :

On the ground amongst moss. 
Cespitose forming small tufts about 13 inch high.  Pileus 
1-14 inch, white, thickly coated with a transparent jelly, 
convex slightly fleshy, umbonate not scaly.. Stem 1-13 inch 
high, 13-2 lines thick, viscid like the pileus nearly equal 
expanded above solid. . Gills ventricose, thin, distant, entire, 
rounded behind with a narrow tooth and leaving a free space 
round the top of the stem. - Spores subglobose, white. r 
The colour of the whole. when fresh is apparently white. 
It approaches very near to Ag. mucidus, but that has a strong 
persistent ring and belongs to the section Armillaria. The 
habitat too is different.
