118 FUXGUS-FLOEA. 



Agariciis stij^ticus, Persoon, Obs., i. p. 8, t. 5, f. 3. 



On rotten wood. 



Pileus watery, not gelatinous, very hygroplianous, margin 

 sliglitly striate when moist, at length depressed behind. 



Pileus watery, rather fleshy, soft, fragile, altogether plane, 

 horizontal, extended behind in a straight line into a very 

 short, white, tomentose stem; reniform or cuneate, watery 

 cinnamon when moist, margin slightly striate, even and 

 whitish when dry, truly hygrophanous, at length depressed 

 behind; subsessile. Gills originate determinately behind, 

 crowded, linear, thin, whitish then watery cinnamon. Inter- 

 mediate between Crepidotus mollis and C. hyssisediis. (Fries.) 



Crepidotus alveolus. Lasch. 



Pileus 1-2 i in. across, flesh about 2 lines thick, whitish, 

 soft, lateral, obovate, repand, plane, glabrous, ochraceous- 

 brown, sessile or produced behind into a short, stem-like, 

 tomentose base ; gills determinate, broad, crowded, pale then 

 bro^mish-tan. 



Agaricus alveolus, Lasch, no. 582 ; Fries, Hym. Eur., 

 IX 275 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 189. 



On trunks. Closely allied to Cre])idotus mollis, but more 

 fleshy, darker coloured, becoming pale when dry, sometimes 

 olive-tinged near the margin. 



It is doubtful whether the figure in Cke., Illustr., pi. 490a, 

 called Agaricus (^Crepidotus) alveolus, Lasch, is the right 

 fungus; the specimens measure up to 1 in. across, subreni- 

 form, ochraceous-tan, very convex and subumbonate behind, 

 and attached by a small point ; gills distant, about 2 lines 

 broad, tawny-ochraceous. 



Dimidiate, laterally subsessile or produced behind into a 

 short stem-like tomentose base, horizontal, pileus fleshy, soft, 

 obovate, sometimes repand, almost plane, 2 in. and more 

 long, even, glabrous, moist, ochraceous-brown, sometimes 

 tinged with olive towards the margin, pale when dry; gills 

 determinate, not decurrent from the base, broad, crowded, 

 brownish-tan. Closely allied to Crepidotus mollis, differing 

 in the more fleshy rather wedge-shaped pileus, the darker 

 colour of every part, and especially the broader gills.
