42(5 FUXGUS-FLORA. 



not being liygroplianons, flesli snow wliite, and gills shining 

 white. 



The rather distant gills, which are connected by veins, 

 ^nd infundibuliform pib^ns, distinguish this species, which is 

 not hygrophanous. (B. and Br.) 



Clitocybe incilis. Fr. 



Pilens about 2 in. across, flesh thin, plane and umbilicate, 

 then infundibuliform, even, silky-flocculose, appearing almost 

 glabrous when young, obtuse, almoat brick-red colour, the 

 incurved margin crenate ; gills more or less decurrent, ar- 

 cuate 2-3 lines broad, distant, connected by veins, white then 

 pallid, but not yellow; stem generally about h in. long, 2-3 

 lines thick, or more when compressed, usually thinner down- 

 wards, brick-red, at first with a very delicate mealy down, 

 fibrous, tough, unequal, hollow; spores elliptical, 7 X 4 ^u,.

On the ground in woods, &c. 



A variable species, sometimes with a mealy smell, some- 

 times without smell. 



Clitocybe sinopica. Fr. 



Smell strong, resembling new meal. Pileus about 1 in. 

 across, flesh thin, soon plane and slightly depr* ssed, umbili- 

 -cate, dry, at first glabrous then flocculose, dry, brick-red then 

 becoming pale ; gills sliglitly decurrent, very much crowded, 

 rather broad, white then yellowish; stem J -2 in. long, 1^ 

 line thick, equal, rather fibrillose, coloured like the pileus, 

 stuffed. 



Agaricufi (^CUtocyhe) sinojpicus, Fries, Sj^st. Myc, i. p. 83; 

 €ke., Hdbk., p. 36(3; Cke., Illustr., pL 647. 



In woods, chiefl}^ on scorched places. 



Small, appearing in spring or summer^ Easily distin- 

 guished by the strong smell of new mf-al. Varies slightly or 

 deeply umbilicate. Pileus at first red, appearing even and 

 glabrous, then evidently flocculoso and becoming pale. 



Allied to C. incilis, which differs in the hollow stem, mar- 

 gin of pileus incurved and slightly crenate, and the slightly 

 ilecurrenl, distant gills connected by veins. (Fries.)
