DECADES OF FUNGI. 301 
below clothed with matted, tawny down, and strigose flocci, 
stringy, attached to dead leaves, &c. by a creeping, strigose, 
orange mycelium. Gills distinct, broad, ventricose, remark- 
ably sinuated behind, adnexed, orange, with a vermillion 
margin. 
Resembling somewhat Ay. coccinellus, but probably more 
closely allied to 4g. pelianthinus. The pileus when dry has 
somewhat the appearance of that of Ay. palmatus, in conse- 
quence of its viscid cuticle. It must be a most beautiful 
species when fresh. Mr. Lea mentions that the spores are 
orange. I do not find this to be the case in the specimens ; 
and as the spores, in well-dried Cortinarie, are always visible 
enough, I think there must be some mistake in this point. 
I have little doubt myself that the species belongs to the 
division Mycena. 
— 16. Agaricus (Galera) mucidolens, n. sp.; olidi pileo plu- 
teiformi lobato glabro nitido viscido fuligineo ; stipite fibril- 
loso, lamellis liberis.

Esq. 
Pileus 2-3 inches broad, of a dull, smoky brown, viscid. 
Stem 2 inches or more high, clothed with brownish fibres. 
Gills free. Spores dull, ferruginous, broadly subcymbiform, 
with a small nucleus. Smell, like that of decayed cheese. 
Allied to Agaricus reticulatus, but differing in several 
points, and especially in its dull, ferruginous, not croceo- 
ferruginous spores. 
—11. Lentinus sulcatus, n. sp.; parvus, pileo primum sub- 
conico, demum hemispherico, carnosulo diffracto-squamoso 
sericeo-virgato rufescente, margine sulcato; stipite centrali 
brevi solido subconcolore furfuraceo; lamellis distantibus 
latiusculis subcrassis postice emarginatis pallidis.

Pileus not $ of an inch broad, hemispherical or nearly so,
