*A. Terreii B. & Br. Pileus 2.5-5 cent - O" 2 m -) broad, bright 

 tawny, somewhat hemispherical, pulverulent, roughened with 

 minute warts. Stem somewhat equal, often cylindrical, adorned 

 below the ring with furfuraceous scales of the same colour as the 

 pileus. Ring at length torn into fragments. Gills remote, nar- 

 row, white, not branched. 



It approaches A. granulosus on one side and A. acutesquamosus on the 

 other, but is nearer to the latter than the former. The spores of A. granulosus 

 are slightly larger, those of A. acutesquamosus are rather longer, and at the 

 same time narrower. 



On sandy ground. Forres. 



Gills separating from the stem. Taste insipid. Spores 5x4 mk. B. &-' Br. ;

39. A. granulosus Batsch. Pileus 5 cent. (2 in.) broad, ferrugi- 

 nous or brown-rufous becoming pale-hoary when dry, fleshy, con- 

 vex then flattened, obtusely umbonate, furfuraceo-granular, here 

 and there rugoso-plicate ; flesh reddish white. Stem 5 cent. (2 

 in.) long, 4-6 mm. (2-3 lin.) thick, stuffed-hollow, somewhat equal, 

 minutely squamulose. Gills slightly aduexed, white. 



Singular among Lepiotce. The covering, which is scaly on the stem as far as 

 the ring, but granulose on the pileus, represents a universal veil, at the first 

 wholly continuous. The colour of the stem is more rarely violaceous. 



In woods and open grassy places. Very common. July-Nov.
