DECADES OF FUNGI. 41 
Tnodorous, brittle, tender. Pileus 1 inch or more across, 11-114 inch 
high, ovate, obtuse, tawny, slightly striate, clothed with a flocculent, 
squamulose, white fleece, which peels off from the margin towards the 
apex, rather fleshy ; flesh red. Stem 3 inches high, + thick, somewhat 
bulbous below, attenuated upwards, hollow, white. Gills lanceolate, 
crowded, rather broad, free. 
This species has exactly the habit of C. domesticus, but the flesh is 
thicker and the pileus less striate, its nearest affinity being with ©. ez- - 
tinctorius, from which it differs in its ovate pileus and rooting stem. 
914. Paxillus chrysites, n. s.; totus aureus, pileo infandibuliformi 
molli glabro subvirgato, margine striato; stipite fistuloso; annulo 
demum caduco; lamellis decurrentibus venosis. Hook, fil, No. 47,

Has. On dead wood. Darjeeling, 7,500 feet. June. Abundant. 
Subcæspitose. Pileus infundibuliform, 2 inches or more across, 
smooth, with a few virgate filaments, very soft and moist, fleshy ; 
margin striate. Stem ? inches high, + an inch thick, smooth, nearly 
equal, fistulose. Ring rather broad, deflexed, at length falling. Gills 
moderately broad, venose, decurrent. Spores ochraceo-fulvous, rather 
small. The whole plant is of a uniform golden yellow, which changes 
in drying to umber. 
A very curious and interesting species, differing from everything 
with which I am acquainted. 
815. P. sulphureus, n.s.; sulphureus; pileo cum lamellis obconico 
plano flocculoso-squamoso carnoso; stipite deorsum attenuato solido; 
lamellis latis ventricosis adnato-decurrentibus. Hook. fil, No. 119,

Inodorous, sulphur-coloured. Pileus 13-2 inches across, re 
obconical when taken with the gills, sometimes slightly depressed, | 
clothed with little flocculent scales, fleshy. Stem about 2 inches high, 
1.1 thick, attenuated below, strongly dilated above, and confluent with 
the pileus. Gills very broad, distant, rather ventricose, thick, waved, 
adnate, decurrent. Spores elongated, oblong, yellow-olive. 
A very interesting species, remarkable for its narrow elongated : 
spores, like those of-a Boletus.
