DECADES OF FUNGI. 105 
moist, pale ochraceous, darker when dry ; flesh moderately thick. Stem 
nearly obsolete, though the margin of the pileus is visible all round. 
Gills attenuated at either end, dirty white, here and there branched or 
anastomosing. 
This species has the habit of 4. salignus, but is smaller. It resembles 
4. ninguidus, but has not the same snow-white pileus, and is not im- 
bricated. The gills as well as the pileus, in some specimens, assume a 
tawny tinge when dry. 
377. A. (Pluteus) cuspidatus, n. s.; pileo ser cuspidato- 
umbonato longitudinaliter rugoso carnoso, stipiteque elongato deorsum 
incrassato e farcto cavo fuligineis ; lamellis albis ventricosis. Hook. 
fil., Ser. 8, No. 27. 
Has. On the ground. Khassya mountains. 
Pileus $ of an inch broad, 1 inch high, campanulate, di a long 
pointed umbo, deeply and repeatedly rugose, but not striated, dark fu- 
liginous; flesh very thick in the centre, nearly 4 of an inch, moderately 
so towards the margin, which is not at all involute. Stem above 8 inches 
high, + of an inch thick, at first stuffed, then hollow, dark like the 
pileus, much paler within. Gills white, ventricose, rounded behind, free. 
This singular species has somewhat the habit of 4. cystopus. The 
pileus is rugose, like that of 4. phlebophorus. I have seen no specimen 
of this, but the drawing is exceedingly characteristic. 
378. 4. (Entoloma) euthelus, n. s. ; pileo e conico expanso fortis- 
sime umbonato fuligineo, margine tenui; stipite subæquali elongato 
flexuoso fistuloso pallide violaceo; lamellis adnexis. Hook. fil., Ser. 2, 
No. 16 (pro parte). 
Has. In pine-woods. Sikkim, 11,000 feet. 
Moist, brittle, inodorous.  Pileus about two inches across, expanded, . 
with a very prominent mammæform umbo, round which it is rather 
depressed, dark fuliginous-brown; margin abruptly thin. Stem 34 
inches high, + of an inch thick, pale violet, hollow. Gills ascending, 
rather attenuated behind, adnexed. Spores — strongly toothed, 
about 33/55 of an inch long. 
Allied to 4. rhodopolius, but amply distinguished by its more delicate 
habit, slender, hollow, violet stem, and other points. The stem is by 
no means distinct from the dark flesh of the pileus, 1 nor are the gills 
at all ventricose.
