284. 4. (Entoloma) Goliathus, Hook. fil. ; giganteus ; pileo carnoso

Has. Inwoods. Darjeeling, 7,500 feet. June. Rare. 
Odour like that of the common mushroom. Pileus dry, fleshy, 
brittle, soon decaying, 8-12 inches across, at first ovato-conical, then 
expanded, convex, with a very strong umbo, smooth, livid-brown, 
deeply and irregularly grooved and sinuated; margin at length in- 
verted and curled back. Flesh stained with brown beneath the cuticle, 
white elsewhere. Stem 4—7 inches high, 13—2 inches thick, incrassated 
or bulbous at the base, of the same colour as the pileus. Gills varying 
somewhat in width, rounded behind and nearly free, pale brown, at 
length rusty rose-coloured. 
This species is allied to 4. sinuatus, from which it differs in its very 
rugged pileus, strongly-developed umbo, and in the gills, which, in 
proportion to the pileus, are often very narrow. 
285. 4. (Entoloma) cystopus, n. s. ; pileo conico glabro hygrophano 
subcarnoso; stipite cavo deorsum incrassato subfusiformi; lamellis 
adscendentibus undulatis postice attenuatis adnexis pallido-roseis.

Has. On dead leaves, twigs, moss, &c. Darjeeling, 8,000 feet. 
April 22, 1848. 
Pileus 14 inch or more across, nearly 1 inch high, conical, with the 
base somewhat expanded, slightly waved, greyish, hygrophanous, not 
viscid, scarcely striate, subcarnose, inodorous. Stem 3 inches high, 
more than 2 of an inch thick at the base, about } only at the apex, 
smooth, bulbous below and downy, rapidly attenuated upwards, fistu- 
lose, the cavity penetrating into the flesh of the pileus, grey, with a 
pinkish tinge. Gills ventricose, much attenuated behind, slightly 
adnexed, but by no means rounded behind or truly free. Spores ob- 
liquely ovate, angular. 
This curious species has somewhat the habit of 4. dutyraceus, but its 
nearest allies are 4. rhodopolius and A. turbidus. The margin of the 
pileus, as in the former species, seems to be slightly inflexed. 
286. 4. (Volvaria) Thwaitesit, Hook. fil.; pileo amplissimo conico- 
expanso fortiter umbonato carnoso luteo sicco sericeo nitido, margine 
appendiculato ; stipite solido sursum attenuato solido basi bulboso ;
