Agaricus psammocephalus, Biilliard, Champ., t. 531, fig. 2 

 (inside tawny, not white as in the fig.). 



In pine woods, &c. 



Stem about 1 in. long, apex naked, even, ring not distinct, 

 but evidently a Telamonia. Pileus about 1 in. across; gills 

 "dark, sometimes with a decurrent tooth. (Fries.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) iliopodius. Fr. 



Pileus 1-2 in. across, rather fieshy, conical, then expanded, 

 rather umbonate, at first silky-fibrillose, almost glabrous 

 when mature, cinnamon, tan-colour when dry ; gills adnate, 

 rather crowded, thin, cinnamon; stem sometimes short and 

 €qual, commonly elongated to 3-4 in., flexuous, equal, elastic,

Cortinarius (Telamonia) iliopodius^ Fries, Monogr., ii. p. 88 ; 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 272; Cke., Illustr., pi. 839b. 



In woods. 



Stem sometimes short, at others elongated and flexuous, 

 not attenuated at the base, at length brownish. Pileus 

 opaque, 1-2^ in. broad, sometimes brownish, obtuse. Very 

 variable, and some of the forms difficult to define. (Fries.) 



Pileus ^ in. broad, at first conic, with the silk}^ veil 

 attached to the margin, then convex, rather acutely umbo- 

 nate, the umbo cinnamon, then brownish changing to 

 ochraceous, subcarnose, silky especially on the margin, which 

 is pellucid when moist. Gills at first pale, changing to dark- 

 €innamon. Stem 2 in. or more high, scarce 1 line thick, 

 rufescent, pruinose or sericeo-squamulose, moderately tough, 

 at length hollow. My specimens described above are smaller 

 than the more usual state, approaching in this respect A. 

 cucumis, now removed to the tribe Galera. Taste not acrid. 

 Gills moderately broad. According to Fries, the pileus is 

 from 4-1 in. broad. Stem 2-4 in. high. Taste approaching 

 to that of radishes. (Berk.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) incisus. Fr. 



Pileus -1—^ in. across, slightly fleshy, conico-convex then 

 expanded, umbonate, naked, soon innately fibrillose or
