68. A. nictitans Fr. Pileus 5 cent. (2 in.) and more broad, 

 becoming yellow, disc darker, fleshy, but thin, convex then flat- 

 tened, obtuse, even, smooth, viscid ; flesh white. Stem 7.5 cent. 

 (3 in.) long, 12 mm. (}4 in.) thick, solid, fleshy, equal or atten- 

 uated upwards, truncate at the base, dry, squamulose at the apex, 

 pallid light-yellow. Gills rounded-adnexed, crowded, rather broad, 

 somewhat ventricose, and without a decurrent tooth, light-yellow, 

 when old here and there with rufescent spots. 



Inodorous, mild. Distinguished from A. flavobrunneus by the stem not 

 being viscous and not attenuated but rather thickened at the base, blunt, be- 

 coming yellow, by the pileus being moderately thin, not streaked, and by the 

 gills being at first rounded-free without a decurrent tooth, and at length (when 

 the pileus is depressed) only obtusely adnexed to the stem. 



In woods. Rare. Sept.

* A. fulvellus Fr. Pileus pale -yellowish -rufescent or tan 

 colour, fleshy, convex, plane, viscous, even, the darker disc dotted- 

 wrinkled. Stem stuffed then hollow, fibrillose, whitish-rufescent, 

 naked at the apex. Gills rounded then emarginate, crowded, 

 white, rufescent. 



Sometimes very small, scarcely 2.5 cent, (i in.). Inodorous. Subjoined to 

 A. nictitans on the authority of Bulliard ; it seems nearer to A. flavobrunneus, 

 to which it is very similar in habit, and to A. ustalis, although very different 

 in appearance.
