 marginato-bulbous, stuffed, fibrillose, yellow, shining, purplish at 

 the apex, light yellowish within. Gills adnate, slightly rounded,

20. C. turbinatus Fr. — Pileus unicolorous, dingy yellow or 

 green, becoming pale, hygrophanous, opaque when dry, fleshy, 

 convex then flattened, obtuse, at length depressed, orbicular, even, 

 smooth, viscid ; flesh soft, white. Stem commonly curt (5 cent., 

 2 in.), but varying elongated, yellowish, springing from a globoso- 

 depressed distinctly marginate bulb, otherwise equal, cylindrical, 

 stuffed then hollow. Gills attenuato-adnate, thin, crowded, broad, 

 quite entire, at first pallid light-yellowish, at length somewhat 

 ferruginous. 



The typical form is regular, distinct from its allies in the hygrophanous 

 pileus, in the gills being isabelline-ferruginous and quite entire, and in being 

 without any dark blue or purple colour. Easily distinguished by its turbinate 

 bulb. 



In woods. Uncommon. 



Pileus variable in width. Margin of the bulb so strongly developed as to
