DECADES OF FUNGI. 81

Has. On trunks of trees. Darjeeling, 8,000 feet. May. Abundant. 
Inodorous, rather firm.  Pileus 1 an inch broad, conico-hemi- 
spherical, red-brown, smooth, viscid, fleshy in the centre, striate. Stem 
short, slender, 1 inch high, scarcely 1 line thick, generally ascending, 
rufous, minutely fistulose, nearly equal.  Gills rather narrow, pale 
yellow, rounded behind, nearly free, at length blotched with red-brown. 
Allied to the last, but distinguished readily by its viscid, firmer pileus, 
and ultimately red-brown gills. 
274. 4. (Mycena) manipularis, n. s.; valde cespitosus, tener, 
fragilis; pileo convexo obtuso sicco striato ; stipite gracili; lamellis 
flavis latiuseulis adnatis. Hook. fil., No. 49, eum ic. 
Has. On trunks and stumps. Sinchul, 8,500 feet. May. Abundant. 
Inodorous, densely cespitose, small, very brittle. Pileus 1—3 inch 
broad, convex, obtuse, smooth, dry, thin, striate, shaded with grey and 
yellow. Stems slender, 1-2 inches high, not 4 a line thick, minutely 
fistulose, grey, downy at the base. Gills rather broad, ventricose, 
adnate, yellow. 
Distinguished from neighbouring species by its delicate, highly- 
tufted pilei, and small size. Dr. Hooker describes the pilei as dry; 
they have, however, the appearance of being somewhat gelatinous in 
substance, though dry externally. 
275. A. (Mycena) prasius, n. s.; pileo campanulato fortiter sulcato 
sieco pallide prasio; stipite elongato tenui fistuloso concolore basi 
incrassato rubro; lamellis paucis niveis liberis. Hook. fil, No. 140, 
cum ic. 
Has. On the ground. Top of Tonglo, 10,000 feet. 
Dry, brittle, inodorous, very delicate. Pileus $ of an inch across, 
campanulate, obtuse, membranaceous, pale leek-green, variegated with 
about 18 paler stripes, converging in pairs, rather more than half-way 
up the pileus, between which it is strongly suleate. Stem above 
3 inches high, 1 line thick, fistulose, smooth, green, except at the swollen 
base, where it is red. Gills few, white, ventricose, free or adnexed. 
An exquisite species, which is perhaps as nearly allied to 4. epipte- 
rygius as to any described species, but without any of its viscosity. 
A. chloranthus has similar colour, but is very different, especially in 
the gills. It does not, indeed, come very near to any European type.
