length hollow, somewhat attenuated, sheathed with the continuous Telamonia. 

 squamulose veil, from which proceeds a fibrillose cortina. Gills 

 sinuato-adnate, crowded, 4 mm. (2 lin.) broad, at length darker, 

 umber-cinnamon. 



Odour none. Internally it is of the same colour (not white as in Bulliard's 

 fig.) ; the pileus and stem become pale and somewhat golden when dry. No 

 distinct ring. 



In mixed woods. Frequent. Sept.-Oct. 



Name i^a/u/uos, sand ; xe^aXrj, head. From the furfuraceous squamules on

101. C. incisus Fr. Pileus tawny-ferruginous, opaque, slightly 

 fleshy, variable in form, sometimes very acutely, sometimes obso- 

 letely umbonate, convexo - expanded, naked when young, then 

 (especially in dry weather) torn into fibrils or scales, but even 

 and shining when scorched by the sun. Stem sometimes curt, 

 2.5 cent, (i in. long), 2-4 mm. (1-2 lin.) thick, sometimes elongated 

 5-10 cent. (2-4 in.), somewhat stuffed, flexuous, wholly fibrous in 

 moist places, fibrillose, not polished externally. Gills adnate, 

 somewhat distant, cinnamon-ferruginous. 



Not much smell. Growing in troops, somewhat caespitose. The pileus is 

 commonly tawny-ferruginous, but when young also date-brown, olivaceous- 

 fuscous, &c. It differs from G. gentilis, &c. , in the colour being darker, ferru- 

 ginous, and especially in the somewhat zoned white veil. 



In woods. Loughborough. 



Spores ellipsoid or sphaeroid-ellipsoid, uniguttate, 9-12x6 mk. K. Name 

 incido, to cut into. From the cracked pileus. Fr. Monogr. ii. p. 88. Hym. 

 Eur. p. 384. Icon. t. i6o./. i. B. & Br. n. 1272. Ag. Bull. t. 586. /. 2. 



102. C. iliopodius Fr. Pileus 2.5-5 cent - ( r ~ 2 i n -) broad, 

 cinnamon, tan when dry, slightly fleshy, conical then expanded 

 and for the most part acutely umbonate, at the first silky with 

 hoary fibrils, becoming smooth when full grown. Stem here and 

 there short, commonly elongated, stuffed, flexuous, equal, elastic, 

 sheathed to the middle with the white veil which becomes even 

 and silky, and cortinato-ringed where the sheathing ends, naked 

 and fibrilloso-striate at the apex, internally saffron-cinnamon. Gills 

 adnate, slightly distant, thin, cinnamon. 



Very protean, and there are individual forms which can scarcely be defined. 

 It is distinguished, however, from others by its opaque cinnamon colour, that 

 of the stem often becoming fuscous, by the stem being externally somewhat 

 cartilaginous and paler, by the white veil, and by i\ie gills being more crowded 

 and thin. 



In mixed woods. Common. July-Nov.
