76 AGARICINI. 



Series V. COPRINARII. 



Spores black, hence the gills, which are all separate from 

 each other, never become purple or fuscous. The genus 

 Coprinus is readily distinguished by the gills cohering at first 

 (not separate) and by their becoming fluid, etc. Intermediate 

 between Agaricus and Coprinus.

 neous without striae. Margin exceeding the gills. Gills
