474. A. icterinus Fr. Pileus 1-2.5 cent - (>2-i in.) and more 

 broad, light yellow-green, more rarely yellowish-honey-colour, 

 becoming pale when dry, hygrophanous, somewhat membrana- 

 ceous, slightly firm, campanulate soon convex, even wholly reflexed, 

 but never umbilicate, pellucid-striate, smooth, opaque, slightly 

 silky when dry. Stem 2.5-5 cent. (1-2 in.) long, 2 mm. (i lin.) 

 thick, stuffed, rigid, mealy sometimes wholly sometimes at the 

 apex, of the same colour as the pileus, but sometimes fuscous. 

 Gills adnexed, separating, ventricose, distant, pallid, saffron- 

 yellow when rotting. 



The pileus is sometimes here and there sprinkled with superficial flocci ; 

 when luxuriant it is undulated and changeable in form ; disc sometimes 

 obtuse, sometimes papillate, often fuscous and here and there fuscous-squam- 

 ulose. The stem is sometimes compressed and then 6 mm. (3 lin.) broad. In 

 cultivated ground the gills vary free and decurrent, distinct and connected 

 by veins, even crisped and anastomosing.
