C. (Myxacium) stillatitius. Fr. 

 Pileus, thin, convex, subumbonate, even, viscid, yellow. 

 Gills, emarginate, distant, ferruginous. 

 Stem, hollow, soft, attenuated, covered with a blue gluten.

Tribe III. Inoloma. 



Pileus equally fleshy, dry, at first silky, with innate scales 

 or fibrils, flesh continuous, not hygrophanous. Veil single. 

 Stem, fleshy, somewhat bulbous. Species very distinct. There 

 are Telamonise which resemble Inolomata, but they differ from 

 them by having the pileus smooth, moist, then torn (whereas 

 the Inolomata become smooth), or by being sprinkled over 

 with white superficial fibrils, and by possessing a double veil. — 

 Stevenso7i' s British Fungi.

 color.

 Stem, bulbous, spongy, villous, internally cinereous violet. 



This is an old described species. It was named by Linneus over one 

 hundred years ago. It is a beautiful species. The whole plant is of a 

 light blue or violet color. Not very abundant, grows single in open 

 woods. 



Bastian's woods. It is recorded in all works on fungi.
