BECADES OF FUNGI. 



505. A. (Omplialia) Ji^poleucm, n, s. ; albidus; pileo umbilicato ru- 

 guloso ; stipite tenui deorsum iucrassato tomentoso ; lamellis latiusculis 

 decurrentibus, interstitiis venosis. Spruce, n. 4. 



Hab, On trunks of trees. Panure. 



Dirty-white. Pileus \ of an inch broad, convex, umbilicate, wrinkled. 

 Stem 1 inch or more high, not a line thick, smooth above, tomentose 

 below, fixed to the wood by a few delicate threads, attenuated upwards. 

 Gills rather broad, ventricose, decurrent ; interstices veiny. 



A. (Nolanea) , Spruce, n. 119, 120, 134, 194. 



Without notes or figures it is impossible to refer these to their proper 

 species, and to describe them under distinctive names would be worse 

 than useless. Number 134 has rather larger spores than the others: 

 in all they are very irregular in form. The rose-spored Agarics are dif- 

 ficult enough to make out with fresh specimens ; with dried specimens 

 it is next to impossible to determine them. 



50G. A. (Hebeloma) psamminus^ n. s. ; albescens; pileo convexo 

 glabro exsiccato rubro-fuseo; stipite gracili glabro; lamellis ventri- 

 cosis postice attenuato-affixis pallidis. Spruce, n. 124 (in part), 



Hab, On the ground. Panure. 



Whitish. Pileus \ inch or more across, convex, smooth, even, red- 

 brown when dry. Stem 1^ inch high, | a line thick, small, of the same 

 colour as the pileus. Gills ventricose, rather broad, attenuated behind 



and attached to the top of the stem. Spores subreniform, -30V0 ^f an 

 inch long, minutely echinulate. 



There is no species in the section at all allied to it. I have placed 

 it in a different division from A. Panurensis and tnarasmioides, on ac- 

 count of its very different gills. 



507. A, (Naucoria) Panurensis; pileo convexo falvello squamoso; 

 stipite tenui concolore fibrilloso ] lamellis latis adnatis e sporis fulves- 

 centibus. Spruce, n. 124 (in part). 



Hab. On the ground. Panure. 



Pileus 



minute 



triangular scales. Stem 1 inch high, 1 line or more 

 thick, of the same colour, stringy, fibrillose, solid. Gills broad, adnate, 

 bright tawny from the spores. Spores ^^u_ of an inch long, broad, 

 subcymbiform, very obscurely echinulate. 



This and A. marasmioides form a distinct group allied to A. cerodes, 

 etc. This is far the most robust of the two.
