Inodorous. Pileus dry, rather tough, $ of an inch across, convex, 
subcampanulate, very fleshy, dull tawny ochre; margin incurved. Stem 
1 inch high, 1 line thick, of the same colour as the pileus, solid, spring- 
ing from an orbicular mycelium. Gills very broad, tan-coloured, 
rounded behind, affixed. 
This curious species is closely allied to 4. horizontalis. It is sin-
