Hab. On the ground. Panure'. February, 1853. 



The specimens are scarcely satisfactory, but the change of colour 

 from pure white to deep red-brown is so striking, that I am inclined 

 to thmk the species either identical or closely allied.

Hab. On the ground. Panur^. 



Scarlet. Pileus f of an inch across, convex, at length umbilicate, 

 clothed, except at the edge, with a dense furfuraceo-villous coat. Stem 



2 inches high, i of an inch thick, smooth, nearly equal. Gills truly 

 decurrent. 



Closely allied to //. miniatus, but a stouter and more robust plant, 



with truly decurrent gills, and a very decided dense furfiiraceous coat. 



There IS another species with a furfuraceous pileus, which may possibly 



be a form of II. mimatus .• there is however only a single specimen, 

 Number 98. J o i^
