Under trees. 



Eecognised amongst our species of Inocyhe by its large 

 size ; differs from I. fibrosa by the dark pileus and base of 

 stem, and from /. schistiis by tlie flesh of the pileus^ not 

 cracking longitudinally, and the dingy umber gills. 



Inocybe rimosa. Bull. 



Pileus 1-2 in. across, flesh thin, white, campanulate with 

 an indication of an umbo, silky-fibrous, the cuticle splitting 

 longitudinally, yellowish-brown ; gills almost free, rather 

 crowded, somewhat ventricose, pale dingy tan-colour ; stem 

 2-3 in. long, equal, not incrassated at the base, firm, nearly 

 smooth, whitish, mealy above, solid ; spores elliptical, smooth, 

 10-11 X 5 /x.

On the ground in woods, &c. 



Most closely allied to I. asterospora^ with which it was 

 at one time confounded, but difl'ers in the smooth elliptical 

 spores. I. eutheles differs in the distinct umbo, adnate gills, 

 and in growing under firs. I. pyriodorus is distinguished by 

 being altogether stouter, and in the strong pear-like smell. 



Inocybe asterospora. Quel. (fig. 14, p. 3.) 



Pileus 1-2 in. across, campanulate, somewhat umbonate, 

 silkily fibrous and the cuticle cracked longitudinally, dr}^ 

 yellowish-brown or sometimes almost umber, especiall}- at 

 the disc ; flesh tbin, whitish ; gills almost free, rather 

 close, 2 lines broad, ventricose, dingy tan ; stem 2-3 in. long, 

 about 3 lines thick, equal, slightly subbulbous at the base, 

 pallid, often with a pinkish tinge, solid ; spores subglobose, 

 coarsely warted, 10-11 /x diameter.
