Of a beautiful pale straw-colour \ pileus 2-3 inches across, smooth, 

 infundibuliform, repand i flesh rather thick. Stem l-i-2 inches high, 



about i an inch thick, solid, smooth ; mycelium white, consisting of 

 delicate down. Gills scarcely a line broad. 



Nearly allied to Z. piperatus, but differing in its straw-coloured tint, 



smaller size, and greater delicacy. The figure was formerly referred to 



Z. vellereus, in consequence of some unmarked specimens of that species 



which were supposed to belong to it. I do not find the gills branched.

An examination of the specimens shows No. 12 to be the old state 



of No. 16. In all, the pileus and stem are clothed with very fine 

 velvety hairs,

Pileus 2-|- inches broad, infundibuliform, thin, coriaceous, clothed with 

 short dense pale spongy down, from which spring brown bristles singly 

 or in fascicles ; margin involute. Stem 3 inches or more high, scarcely

 setose, the bristles reaching some way up the gills. Gills pale.

and more distant gills. In Z. fasciatus the bristles are paler, not deep 

 brown, and the stem is rather inclined to be attenuated downward, 

 besides being in proportion far shorter.
