TUBARIA. 125 



The fungus figured by Cooke, Illustr., pi. 1175b, as repre- 

 senting the present species, cannot, I think, be correct; for 

 this mistake I am responsible. The species figured is 

 evidently a Galera, probably a large form of G. sphagnorum. 



Tubaria embolus. Fr. 



Pileus h-rj in. across, membranaceous, campanulate then 

 convex, obtuse, finely striate, glabrous, hygrophanous, yel- 

 lowish-tawny, shining, ochraceous when dry ; gills very 

 broad behind, slightly decurrent, thick, triangular, very 

 distant, cinnamon; stem lJ-2 in. long, thickened upwards, 

 often curved, glabrous, tawny-yellow, shining yellow when 

 dry, imperfectly hollow. 



Agaricus embolus, Fries, Epicr., p. 206 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 188 ; 

 Cke., Illustr., pi. 514a. 



On damp, heathy ground, &c. 



Resembling Omphalia umhellifera in size and in the 

 structure and arrangement of the gills. Known by the fi^nely 

 striate, glabrous pileus, and the stem evidently thickened 

 upwards. 



Tubaria autochthona. B. & Br. 



Pileus J-J in. across, obtuse, hemispherical, ochraceous- 

 white, silky, margin flocculose, flesh thin ; gills adnate with 

 a decurrent tooth, horizontal, honey-colour; stem J— 1 in. 

 long, flexuous or curved, incrassated above and below, base 

 whitish, woolly ; spores elliptical, 8 x 4 yu. 



Agaricus (Nancorici) autochtlionus, Berk, and Broome, Ann. 

 Nat. Hist., n. 1121 (1866). 



Agaricus (Tubaria) autochtJionus, Cke., Hdbk., p. 188 ; Cke., 

 Illustr., pi. 514b. 



On naked soil. 



Pileus ^ in. across ; stem | in. high, not half a line thick 

 in the centre ; spores paler than in Tubaria furfuracea, 

 •00019 in. long; it does not become pallid in drying, like 

 that species, but is of an ochraceous white from the first. It 

 is probably a very common species. (Berk. & Broome.)
