DECADES OF FUNGI. 47 
1 line or more in diameter, red-brown, smooth, solid, firm, furnished 
at the top with a spreading narrow ring. Gills pale pink, moderately 
broad, running down as far as the ring. 
This is placed in Armitlaria on account of the ring, but it has 
affinities with several species of other tribes, and approaches in some 
respects the Lentini. The name is intended to indicate its multiform 
affinities. 
251. A. (Armillaria) adelphus, n. s. ; pileo carnoso subhemisphzerico 
profunde umbilicato centro flocculento squamuloso margine arcuato striato 
glabro ; stipite elongato farcto ; annulo remoto patente ; lamellis pallido- 
carneis longe decurrentibus. Hook. fil., No. 47, cum ic. 
Has. On dead wood. Darjeeling, 7—8,000 feet. May. 
Pileus 1 inch across, subhemispherical, carnose, deeply umbilicate, 
grey, clothed in the centre with flocculent scales; margin smooth, 
much arched, striate. Stem 2 inches or more high, 1 line thick, red- 
brown, smooth. Ring narrow, patent. Gills pinkish, much arched, 
running down to the remote ring. 
Ves closely allied to the last, but differing in the form of the pileus, 
the elongated slender stem, arched, very decurrent gills, and remote 
ring. The pileus, also, is less distinetly warty. 
252. A. (Tricholoma) eremoriceps,n.s.; pileo plano carnoso umbo- 
nato opaco glabro ; stipite incurvo subzequali obscuriore cavo firmissimo ; 
lamellis distantibus latiuseulis postice rotundatis adnatis. Hook. fil., 
No. 123, cum ic. 
Has. Ontrunks of trees. Darjeeling, 7,500 feet. September. 
Inodorous, subfasciculate. Pileus 3 inches or more across, plane 
or even depressed, minutely umbonate, dry, smooth, opake, of a beau- 
tiful cream-colour; margin crenate ; flesh darker, firm. Stem 24 
inches high, 4 of an inch thick, nearly equal, except at the base, where 
it is slightly swollen, much darker than the pileus without and within, 
very firm, composed of fibres, hollow. Gills distant, rather thick, 
rounded behind, adnate, with sometimes a very narrow descending 
tooth, white, with a pale tinge of cream-colour. 
The gills in the dry specimens are covered with sparkling granules, 
which appear to belong to some mould. They are nearly globose, and 
are far larger than the spores of Agarics. They occur in some other 
species of the collection, sometimes forming a thick stratum. The beau- 
tiful Agaric before us is allied to 4. inamenus, but it does not appear 
to be the least silky or pubescent.
