p 



stipite brevi farinoso e strato ceraceo-iibroso oriundo^ lamellis paucis 

 adnato-decurrentibus. 



Hab. On dead sticks. Panurc, and at foot of Mount Cocui. 



White. Pileus 1 line across, umbilicate, clotlied with a close-pressed, 

 matted down. Stem 1|^2 lines high, ^ of a line thick, pulverulent, 

 springing from a corticioid mass, which runs over a few fibres. Gills 

 few, adnate, decurrent. 



528. M. nivosm, n. s.; niveus; pileo umbilicato sulcato; stipite 

 brevi adscendenti pulverulento-tomentoso ; lamellis paucis decurrenti- 

 adnatis obtusis. 



Hab. On sticks, fern, etc. Foot of Mount Cocui and Panure. 



White. Pileus 2 lines broad, deeply umbilicate and sometimes um- 

 bonate, sulcate, opaque, obscurely tomentose ; border arched. Stem 

 short, i of an inch high, not \ a line thick, ascending, dilated above, 

 tomentose, springing from a little round patch of mycelium. Gills 

 ten to twelve, decurrenti-adnate, extremely obtuse, sometimes forked. 



Allied to M, epileiicus^ but perfectly distinct. 



529, M, obscurus, n. s. ; pileo convexo demum piano e brunneolo 

 griseo-subluteo ; stipite subrufo, tenui ; lamellis paucis lato-adnatis 

 albidis. Spruce, n. 138. 



Hab. On dead leaves. Panure. 



Pileus at first brownish, convex, then yellowish -grey, plane, 1 line 

 across. Stem ^-^ inch high, filifoim, rufous, pulverulent below, some- 

 times springing from an Hiraantioid mycelium. Gills about ten, 

 whitish, broadly adnate. 



This is an obscure species, but the characters are sufficiently marked 

 to distinguish it from others. 



530, M, bellus, n. s. ; pileo planiusculo pallido reticulato-rugoso ; 

 stipite elongato gracili e mycelio context© oriundo ; lamellis tenuibus 

 distantibus; interstitiis reticulatis. Spruce, n. 102 (var.)- 



Pileus 1 inch across, pale tan, plane, slightly umbilicate, reticulato- 

 rugose. Stem 2 inches high, ^ of a line thick, dark brown, smooth, 

 springing from a closely matted mycelium. Gills moderately broad, 

 distant, attached to the top of the stem. Interstices reticulate. 



Another form, as it appears, has the lower part of the stem opaque 

 and pale umber-brown. The only specimen is however too bad to say 



much about it. 



531. Jf, Hippioeha^les, n. s. ; pileo convexo sulcato coccineo ; lamellis
