28 AGARICINI. 



inoloma. conico-clongated or clavato-bulbous, as much as 2.5 cent, (i in.) 

 thick at the base, clothed to the middle with fuscous down con- 

 tinued into a fibrillose cortina which does not form a zone, at the 

 apex slightly violaceous, naked. Gills adnate, broader behind, 

 scarcely crowded, 6 mm. (3 lin.) broad, olivaceous-yellowish, at 

 length cinnamon. 



The squamules on the pileus are less compact and not so much crowded as 

 those of C. pholideus. 



In woods. Rare. Oct. 



Spores ovoid-pruniform, dotted, 10 mk. Q. Name lana, wool. Some- 

 what woolly. Fr. Monogr. ii. p. 55. Hym. Eur. p. 364. Berk. Out. p. 188. 

 C. Hbk. n. 511. Ag. Sow. t. 224. Hussey ii. t. 22. 



55. C. arenatus Fr. Pileus pale yellowish- fuscous, fleshy, 

 convex, at first gibbous, granulose withfloccose squamules. Stem 

 clavato-attenuated, sheathed beyond the middle, fuscous-squamu- 

 lose, even at the apex, pallid. Gills emarginate, ventricose, some- 

 what crowded, yellowish-cinnamon. 



Closely related to C. sublanatus ; when young also olive, not easily distin- 

 guished from forms of C. pholideus which have changed their colour, but the 

 gills are never violaceous. 



In woods. Uncommon. Aug.-Oct. 



Spores 6-7x4-5 mk. VV.P. Name arena, sand. .From the granulose 

 pileus. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 365. Berk. Out. p. 188. C. Hbk. n. 512. S. 

 Mycol. Scot. n. 469. Hussey i. t. 72. Ag. Bull. t. 586. 



56. C. penicillatus Fr. Pileus 2.5 cent, (i in.) or little more 

 broad, ferruginous - fuscous, becoming tawny when dry, thin, 

 slightly fleshy, convex, minutely umbonate, dry, densely fioccoso- 

 scaly, scales innate, dark, ferruginous-fuscous ; flesh very thin, of 

 the same colour as the pileus. Stem 5-7.5 cent. (2-3 in.) long, 

 4-6 mm. (2-3 lin.) thick, stuffed, equal, fragile, squamose almost 

 to the apex with adpressed, fuscous-ferruginous, concentric scales, 

 paler than the pileus, paler and adpressedly silky at the very 

 apex. Gills separating, plane, somewhat crowded, 6 mm. (3 lin.) 

 broad, dark brown. 



Placed here on account of the innately squamulose pileus and its affinity 

 with species in this section, but its stature is quite that of the Dermocybce. 



In pine woods. Cabalva. Sept.-Oct. 



Spores pruniform, rough, 7-8 mk. Q. Name penicillum, a painter's 

 brush. Pencilled. Fr. Monogr. ii. p. 56. Hym. Eur. p. 365. Grevillea, 

 vol. viii. p. 77.
