108 DECADES OF FUNGI. 
umbo frequently depressed in the centre, dry, yellow shaded with 
tawny, very fleshy, especially in the centre; flesh yellow. ^ Veil 
cottony, attached to the margin, hanging down in long ragged shreds. 
Stem 3 inches high, 4 of an inch thick, fistulose, the hollow running 
deeply into the substance of the pileus, yellow above, rufous below. 
Gills rounded behind, distant, sulphur-yellow, stained at length with 
the spores, which are of a pale ferruginous tint. 
Very nearly allied to 4. fascicularis and A. sublateritius, but differ- 
ing from the former in its more distant, broader gills, and thicker 
substance, and from the latter in its yellow flesh, decidedly fistulose 
stem, rounded gills, &e.

Has. On earthy banks. Darjeeling, 7,500 feet. June, July. 
The specimens are densely tufted, with precisely the habit of 
A. macrourus, Abbild. d. Schw. No. 3. "The pilei are rather eampanu- 
late than ovate, but in the coloured flesh and stem they agree with 
A. velutinus rather than with 4. laerymabundus. The gills are truly 
adnate in young specimens. The stem is rather squamose than fibril- 
loso-striate. 
294. 4. (Hypholoma) hemisoodes, n. s. ; pileo semiovato subcarnoso 
fibrilloso fulvo ; stipite deorsum crassiore flocculento fistuloso ; lamellis 
latis truncato-adnexis fusco-purpureis. Hook. fil, No. 136, cum ic. 
Has. On earth banks. Darjeeling, 7,600 feet. October. 
Inodorous, rather firm.  Pileus scarcely 1 inch across, half ovate, 
dry, rich tawny, silky, slightly fleshy; flesh yellowish beneath the 
cuticle, then white. Stem 2 inches high, 2 lines thick, rather thicker 
at the base, tawny, flocculent, whitish at the base, fistulose. Gills 
broad, between plane and ascending, truncato-adnexed, purple-brown. 
Spores purple-brown, obliquely ovate, apiculate at either end, but more 
decidedly so at one extremity. 
Allied to 4. lacrymabundus and velutinus, but abundantly distinct in 
the bright-coloured pileus and broad brown-purple gills. 
295. 4. (Hypholoma) atrichus, n. s. ; ezespitosus; pileo subhemi- 
sphzerieo obtuse umbonato glabro pallido-luteo ; umbone rufo ; stipite 
rufescente deorsum eavo; lamellis angustioribus postice rotundato-liberis 
atro-purpureis. Hook. fil., No. 35, cum ic. 
Has. On dead timber and soil impregnated with charcoal. Dar- 
jeeling, 7—8,000 feet. May.
