evidently a Telamonia. Pileus distinctly hygrophanous, not 

 splitting. (Fries.) 



Pileus 2-4 in. broad, when dry ocliry-yellow, subsquar- 

 rose. Gills sometimes adnate, sometimes emarginate, veil 

 rarel}'' forming a perfect ring. Stem 2-4 in. high, h in. thick, 

 iirm, fibrillose, dull yellow sometimes saffron-red. (Fries.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) hinnuleus. Fr. 



Pileus 1-2 ^~ in. across, flesh very thin except at the sub- 

 iimbonate disc, conico-campanulate then expanded, glabrous, 

 pallid tawny-cinnamon, tawny when dry; gills slightly 

 emarginate, distant, 3—4 lines broad, tawny-cinnamon, edges 

 <[uite entire ; stem 3-4 in. long, 3-4 lines thick, rigid, 

 .attenuate below or subequal, tawny, the whitish silky veil 

 forming a ring-like zone, stuffed; spores elliptical, granular, 

 10-12 X 7-8 fx.

In woods, &G. 



Yery variable in size, stem sometimes short and equal, 

 sometimes slender, elongated, and flexuous, at times brownish, 

 up to 4 lines thick. Pileus varies to pallid and at length 

 •depressed, rarely silky near the margin. Gills plane, 

 •slightly connected by veins. Eecedes from all the species in 

 the subgenus in having a white veil. (Fries.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) gentilis. Fr. (fig. 9, p. 16.) 

 Pileus J-1 in. across, flesh thin, conico-expanded then 

 :flattened, acutely umbonate, tawny-cinnamon, yellow when 

 dry, cracked and incised, sometimes somewhat silky ; gills 

 -adnate, thick, very distant, plane, connected by veins, 

 •coloured like the pileus at first, not changing colo^^r when 

 -dry like the pileus and stem, hence every part of the fungus 

 is coloured alike when moist, but differently coloured when 

 •dry ; stem 3-4 in. long, 1-2 lines thick, equal or attenuated 

 at the base, often curved, usually straighter than that of 

 other species of similar size, fibrillose, tawny-cinnamon, 

 yellow when dry ; veil forming an oblique ring, sometimes 

 arranged in several zones, sometimes yellow below the 

 Hoccoso-squamulose riog; sjDores granular, 7-8 X 6 /x.
