10. A. nitidus Fr. Pileus when flattened 10 cent. (4 in.) broad, 

 whitish, fleshy, somewhat compact, at first hemispherical, wrapped 

 up, the thick volva forming a floccose crust, then broken up into 

 thick, remarkably angular, adhering warts, which become fuscous, 

 dry, shining, without a viscous pellicle, margin always even ; flesh 

 white, quite unchangeable. Stem 7.5 cent. (3 in.) long, 2.5 cent, 

 (i in.) thick, solid, firm, conico-attenuated, with a bulb-shaped base, 

 squamulose, white. Ring superior, thin, torn, slightly striate, white, 

 villous beneath, at length disappearing. Gills free, crowded, -very 

 broad, as much as 12 mm. (>< in.), ventricose, shining white. 



The pileus very rarely inclines to become yellow or green. Easily distin- 

 guished by its warts.
