luride sulphureo flocculento subcarnoso; stipite brevi subæquali con- 
colore; lamellis sulphureis adnato-decurrentibus. Hook. fil., No. 60,

Has. On earth and mossy banks. Darjeeling, 7,500 feet. June. 
Inodorous, soft, brittle. Pileus 2 inches broad, at first convex and 
depressed, then infundibuliform, subcarnose, of a lurid sulphur-yellow, 
dry, flocculent. Stem about 1 inch high, + of an inch thick, solid, 
nearly equal, obtuse, of the same colour as the pileus. Gills moderately 
broad, sulphur-coloured, adnato-decurrent, interstices and sides venose. 
Spores elongated, oblong. 
Nearly allied to P. sulphureus, but more clumsy in form, more dingy 
in colour, with a highly depressed pileus and far narrower gills.

Has. On clay banks. May. Sinchul, 8,500 feet. 
Substance firm. Stem and gills snow-white; the former obtuse, 
below solid or irregularly hollow. 
317. R. grossa, n. s. ; pileo cyathiformi viscoso maculato-squamoso, 
margine rugoso involuto; stipite crasso obeso subæquali; lamellis 
decurrentibus antice latioribus integris. 
Has. Darjeeling. 
Pileus 4 inches across, eup-shaped, viscid, spotted with innate darker 
scales; margin narrowly involute, rather rugged. Stem about 3 inches 
high, 4 of an inch thick, nearly equal, obtuse. Gills decurrent, broader 
in Work, entire. 
Well characterized is its viscid, spotted pileus and coarse habit. 
Dr. Hooker compares it with 4g. verrucarius, Berk. The gills are 
yellowish when dry, but I cannot ascertain the colour of the spores.

rubro flavoque; lamellis candidis antice latiusculis postice rotundatis.
