certainly rose- coloured^ irregular stellate spores, studded with 

 very large processes, '00044 inch long, -00025 broad, and large 

 urn-shaped cystidia. 



Q77. A. (Entoloma) Bloxami, n. s. Pileo compacto campanu- 

 lato obtuso basi sublobato udo atro-cseruleo subsericeo; carne 

 alba ; stipite sursum leviter attenuate basi obtuso, lamellis lati- 

 usculis attenuate adnexis. 



In pastures, Twycross, Warwickshire, Rev. A. Bloxam ; Leigh 

 Down, near Bristol, Nov. 1853. 



Pileus 1 inch or more across, campanulate, very obtuse, moist, 

 of a dark, dingy blue or purple, or sometimes slate-coloured 

 tinged with lilac, slightly silky, inclined to be lobed below; flesh 

 very thick in the centre, white, except near the edge, where it 

 partakes of the hue of the pileus. Stem 1|- inch high, ^ an inch 

 thick, attenuated upwards, of the same colour as the pileus, 

 solid. Gills moderately broad, pale pink, attenuated behind or 

 slightly annexed. Spores irregular, subglobose, with a large 

 globose nucleus. 



A figure of this will appear in the ' History of Leicestershire.' 



678. A. (Entoloma) jfrumentaceus, Bull. On the ground 

 under a hedge, Woodnewton, Sept. 1852. Somewhat csespitose; 

 pileus 3i inches across, plane with the margin arched and 

 sinuated, dry, buff tinged with red, marked with fine streaks 

 which are sometimes slightly raised, fleshy, firm, rather brittle. 

 Stem 2 inches high, ] inch thick, of the same colour as the 

 pileus, streaked and slightly cracked, sometimes compressed, 

 blunt at the base with a little white down stained with the spores. 

 Gills broad, moderately distant, sinuated and toothed, rounded 

 behind, sometimes emarginate, adnate, cinereous, with a reddish 

 yellow tinge ; spores elliptic, minute, '0002 inch long, rose- 

 coloured. Taste agreeable; smell farinaceous with a slight taint 

 of Amadou. 



This is undoubtedly the plant of Bulliard, which is not 

 described by him as viscid. The spores are decidedly rose- 

 coloured and not white. 



679. A. (Entoloma) costatus, Fr. Ep. p. 147. A very common 

 species in grassy pastures, as at King's Cliffe, Oct. 23, 1851. 



Readily distinguished by the distant broad gills, which are 

 rounded behind and nearly free, traversed at length by waved 

 ribs, and with their margin undulate and not discoloured. Smell 

 none. Spores irregular, subglobose, with a globular nucleus. 



680. A. (Nolanea) Babingtonii, Blox. Pileo conico campa- 

 nulato cinereo spadiceo-sericeo nitente fibrillis apice liberis sub- 

 fasciculatis ; stipite sequali fistuloso spadiceo-tomentoso sub- 

 strigoso ; lamellis ventricosis distantibus cinereis postice obscu-
