INOCYBE. 195 



so long as that species was defined by superficial characters, 

 but readily known by the globose, coarsely warted, or star- 

 like spores ; the swollen base of the stem is also characteristic. 



Inocybe eutheles. B. & Br. 



Pileus 1-2 in. across, camimnulate then expanded and un- 

 dulate, umbo prominent, shining, silky, rather squamulose, 

 fawn-coloured ; gills broadly adnate, about 1 line broad, 

 pallid, margin whitish, minutely toothed ; stem 2-3 in. long, 

 2 lines thick, equal, very slightly swooUen at the very base, 

 striate, fibrous, pallid, solid; spores elliptical, smooth, 10- 

 11 X 5 ix. 



Agaricus (Inocijhe) eutheles^ Berk. & Broome, Ann. Nat. 

 Hist., 1865, pi. viii. fig. 2 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 386. 



On the ground among fir leaves, tfcc. 



Smell of meal. Superficially resembling several other 

 species of Inocyhe, from which it is distinguished by the 

 following combined features : — prominent umbo, broadly 

 adnate narrow gills, and smooth, elliptical sjDores. 



Smell farinaceous, rather disagreeable ; spores even, sub- 

 elliptic, '00029 in. long. It differs from A. fastigiatus in the 

 adnate gills, smooth, not rough spores; and from A. Ciirreyi, 

 with which it agrees as to the spores, in its strongly um- 

 bonate pileus, nearly equal stem, and adnate gills. (B. & Br.) 



Inocybe margaritispora. Berk. 



Pileus 1^-2 in. across, campanulate then expanded, un- 

 dulating, broadly umbonate, silky, clad with adpressed 

 fibrillose scales, fawn-colour ; gills adnexed, about 2 lines 

 broad, pallid; stem 3-4 in. long, 3 lines thick, equal, fibril- 

 lose, pallid, solid ; spores subglobose ; coarsely wartred 

 8 /x diam. 



Agaricus (Inocijhe) margaritisjwra, Berk., MS. ; Cooke, Hdbk., 

 p. 157 ; Cooke, Illustr., pi. 505. 



On the ground. 



Resembling I. eutJieles, but usually rather larger, differing 

 principally in the warted subglobose spores. (Cooke.) 



In Cooke's figures the pileus is pale yellow-brown. Rr- 

 sembling L cisterospora in the spores, but differing in the 

 longer stem and squamulose pileus.
