high, $ an inch thick in the centre, clavate, but not bulbous, vinous, 
clothed with scattered flocci, slightly viscid, stuffed, paler within. Gills 
horizontal, broad, adnate, with a very slight emargination. 
This species has somewhat the appearance of C. purpurascens. It is 
placed in Myzxacium on account of the viscid stem, but does not asso- 
ciate very well with any described species.

386. C. (Dermocybe) flammeus, n. s.; pileo e globoso subhemi- 
sphærico subcarnoso flocculoso stipiteque deorsum incrassato cavo 
sanguineo-lateritiis ; lamellis adnatis subdistantibus aurantiis variegatis.

Inodorous. Cæspitose.  Pileus at first nearly globose, then irregu- 
larly hemispherical, 14 inch broad, rather fleshy, dry, sprinkled with 
flocci. Stem 3 inches high, about 3 an inch thick in the centre, in- 
crassated downward, almost bulbous at the base, like the pileus, of a 
rich blood-colour, hollow, orange within; veil blood-coloured. Gills 
broad, ascending, adnate, orange, variegated with green. Spores sub- 
elliptic, about 4,5 of an inch long. 
This species differs from OC. sanguineus in its less graceful habit, 
from C. miltinus in its hollow elongated stem, and from both in the 
absence of any marked odour. Many other differences might be pointed 
out, especially that of the variegated gills, which, even when dry, have 
a greenish tinge. I find no difference in the spores. |

This is figured with an Entoloma, probably as the young state, agree- — 
ing as it does in form. The spores, however, are totally different: — 
in this obliquely elliptic, about 44455 of an inch long; in the other an- — — 
gular, and very strongly toothed, about 3345 of an inch long. : 
As the specimen is young from whence the figure is taken, it is im- 
possible to say very positively whether it is the plant of Fries or no. 
It is at any rate very closely allied.
