LEUCOSPORI. 53 



97. A. bufonius Pers. Pileus umber, fuscous-tan, &c., fleshy, THchoioma. 

 convexo-plane, somewhat umbonate, at first slightly silky, soon 

 becoming smooth, dotted-wrinkled, opaque. Stem stuffed, equal, 

 flocculose. Gills arcuato-subdecurrent, somewhat distant, yellow- 

 tan and pallid. 



Its odour (milder) and stature are the same as those of A. sulphureus, but it 

 is more regular in form. Otherwise it does not seem to differ unless in the 

 darker wrinked-dotted pileus, the flocculose stem, and the more crowded, paler 

 (sulphur-tan) ^zV/.y. Pileus becoming black-umber. Bull. t. 545. /. 2. O.

98. A. lascivus Fr. Pileus about 5 cent. (2 in.) broad, pallid- 

 tan, fleshy, convex then plane, obtuse, at length somewhat de- 

 pressed, delicately silky then becoming smooth, even, dry, margin at 

 first involute ; flesh white. Stem 5 cent. (2 in.) and more long, 

 solid, rigid, \vholly fibrous, equal, fibrillose, whitish, rooted and 

 tomentose at the base, white-pruinate at the apex. Gills arcuato- 

 adnexed, at length arcuato-decurrent (otherwise horizontal), thin, 

 crowded, white. 



Intermediate between A. sulphureiis and A. inamcznus. Odour the same, 

 but clearly different from both in its crowded gills. The gills are conspicu- 

 ously thinner and more crowded than those of A. sulphureus. 



In mixed woods. Frequent. Sept.-Nov. 



Name lascivus, disgusting. From the smell. Fr. Monogr. i. p. 77. Hym.

99. A. inamoenus Fr. Pileus 2.5-5 cent - ( I-2 in -) broad, be- 

 coming pale, dingy-white, fleshy, moderately thin (but flesh com- 

 pact, shining white), convex then flattened, somewhat umbonate, 

 very dry, slightly silky then becoming smooth, even. Stem 7.5 cent. 

 (3 in.) and more long, 6-12 mm. (3-6 lin.) thick, solid, firm, equal, 

 rather smooth, white. Gills variously ad fixed, normally emargin- 

 ate with a decurrent tooth, but sometimes truly adnato-decurrent, 

 plane, rather thick, very broad, very distant, distinct, shining 

 white. 



Among mosses the stem is enlarged at the rooted villous base. Odour that 

 of A. sulphureus, but stronger, very foetid. It is distinguished from all neigh- 

 bouring species by the very distant, shining white gills. 



In woods. Frequent. Sept.-Nov.
