LEUCOSPORI. 55 



Stem stuffed then hollow, floccose, attenuated downwards. Gills Tricholoma. 

 adnexed with a tooth, eroded, white-pulverulent. 



Varying like the type, than which it is smaller, thinner, more fragile ; fus- 

 cous-purple, lilac-reddish, livid. In a stove. July. Lasch Linn. iv. n. 532.

102. A. carneus Bull. Pileus 2.5 cent, (i in.) broad, red then 

 flesh colour and at length becoming white with a lustre, thin, 

 slightly fleshy, at the first hemispherical, then convex and regular, 

 obtuse and at length flattened and reflexed, often with an umbo, 

 commonly repand, even excentric, even, smooth, dry, in no wise 

 hygrophanous ; flesh tough, snow-white. Stem 2.5 cent, (i in.) 

 and less, attenuated downwards, 2 mm. (i lin.), at the apex almost 

 4mm. (2 lin.), thick, toughly fibrous, almost cartilaginous^ rigid, 

 at first stuffed then hollow, flesh-colour then whitish, somewhat 

 pruinose at the apex. Gills rounded, somewhat free, horizontal, 

 very crowded, broader behind, 2-3 mm. (i-i/4 lin.) broad, very 

 shining white. 



In habit, and in the nature of the stem, it rather approaches Collybice, but 

 its affinity with other species in this group is manifest. 



In fields and by waysides in woods. Frequent. Sept.-Oct. 



Pileus of a rufous-pink, minutely squamulose, often splitting. M.J.B. 

 In ' Hymenomycetes Europaei.' Fries gives A. carneus Bull. A. pesonius 

 Fr. Monogr. i. p. 81, and A. carneolus Fr.A. carneus Bull., Monogr. i. p. 

 8 1. On the authority of Berkeley, whose opinion I can fully confirm, the 

 change in ' Hym. Eur.' must be regarded as an error. The plant described 

 in ' Monographia ' as A. carneus is the true plant of Bulliard. Spores 3x2

103. A. caelatus Fr. Pileus not exceeding 2.5 cent, (i in.) 

 in breadth, fuscous, pale-grey when dry but not hygrophanous, 

 slightly fleshy, convex, umbilicate, without striae, when fresh 

 smooth, but in becoming dried flocculose, rimosely scarred. Stem 

 2.5 cent, (i in.) or less in length, 2-3 mm. (i-i/4 lin.) thick, tough, 

 elastic, but not cartilaginous, when smaller stuffed, when larger 

 hollow, the internal walls villous, equal or slightly thickened at 

 the apex, fuscous, obsoletely pruinate at the apex. Gills sinuato- 

 adnate with a small decurrent tooth, crowded, slightly arcuate, 

 dingy-whitish or grey. 



Inodorous. The spores are dingy-white. A very peculiar species, remark- 

 able in its whole habit, and not to be compared with any other species of 

 Tricholoma. At first sight one might regard it as a species of Omphalia on ac- 

 count of the pileus being constantly umbilicate ; but the stem is by no means
