104 DECADES OF FUNGI. 
Moist, brittle. Pileus 4 an inch across, 5 lines high, campanulate, 
very strongly umbonate, flesh-coloured ; border sulcate; flesh very thick 
in the centre, of the same colour as the pileus. Stem nearly 2 inches 
high, scarce a line thick, flexuous, fistulose, nearly equal, yellow. Gills 
ascending, very narrow, but slightly ventricose, attenuated behind, ad- 
nexed, flesh-coloured. 
A very pretty species, allied to 4. epiplerygius.

An ivory-white form. 
374. A. (Omphalia) ranunculinus; n. s. ; luteus ; pileo hemisphærico ; 
stipite incurvo deorsum velutino; lamellis planis adnatis. Hook. fil, 
Ser. 2, No. 35. 
Has. On turf, ete. Lachen, 14-16,000 feet. July 19, 1849. 
Egg-yellow, dry, rather tough.  Pileus $ of an inch across, subhemi- 
spherieal, convex, obtuse, even, thin. Stem 1 inch high, 1 line thick, 
curved, solid, velvety below. Gills adnate, subdecurrent, plane, dis- 
` tant; interstices nearly even. 
This is undoubtedly very nearly allied to the yellow form of 4. um- 
belliferus, but the pileus is hemispherical, and by no means plane or 
turbinate, with the habit of some small Flammula. 
375. A. (Omphalia) radiatilis, n. s. ; stramineus ; pileo subcarnoso 
depresso pulverulento; stipite solido æquali flexuoso elongato; lamellis 
triquetris, apicibus radiantibus. ^ Hook. fil, Ser. 2, No. 24. 
Has. In pine-woods. Sikkim, 11,000 feet. 
Inodorous, rather tough, straw-coloured. ileus 1 inch broad, dry; 
subcarnose, depressed or rather umbilicate, pulverulent; margin strongly 
striate. Stem 24 inches high, flexuous, nearly equal, solid. Gills 
broadly adnate, decurrent, sending off little radiating processes from 
their extremities. - 
This resembles the yellow form of 4. wmbelliferus, but is a larger 
species and the radiating appearance at the tips of the gills is remark- 
able. This, however, is present only in older specimens. 
376. A. (Pleurotus) placentodes, n. s. ; pileo orbiculari sublobato 
obovato glabro hygrophano pallide ochraceo ; stipite fere obsoleto; la- 
mellis latiusculis utrinque attenuatis. Hook. fil., Ser. 2, No. 16.
