 Densely gregarious, somewhat casspitose. Odour strong. Woods, amongst 



dead leaves, beech, sometimes on rotten wood. Sept. if x 2 X J in. 



Closely allied to Marasmius. 



244. C. confluens Quel. (from the confluent stems) a b c. 



P. convexo-plane or subumbonate, tough, white-buff. St. com- 

 pressed, pulverulento-woolly, white or pale brownish-lavender

In troops, or connate confluent rows. Amongst fir-leaves ; frequent. 

 June-Oct. 2 X 3! X J in. Closely allied to Marasmius.

 2j x 3^ X J in. There is a smaller form one-half the size of type. 



246. C. eonigena Quel. (from its habitat ; conns, a cone, gigno, to 



bear) a b c. 



P. convexo-plane or slightly umbonate, smooth, whitish-ochre or 

 brownish. St. strigose at base, white. G. adnexo-free, white.

 sqiiamosus, fir-leaves, rotten fir-twigs, amongst moss, etc. Aug. -Nov. 

 2 a x 4^ x T 9 5 in. Fries says the summer form has no sclerotium ; this is 

 very doubtful. The autumnal forms may have no sclerotium as the floccose 

 mycelium condenses in winter and forms a summer sclerotum. 



249. C. raeemosa Quel. (from the glandular hairs round the stem ; 



racemus, a cluster) a b. 



P. expanded, papillate, subtomentose, white or faintly greyish.
