22. C. fulmineus Fr.— Pileus about 7.5 cent. (3 in.) broad, 

 tawny, variegated with dense irregular agglutinated scales, very 

 fleshy, at first hemispherical and attached to the bulb, then convex, 

 very viscous, margin regular, at first involute; flesh thick, white, 

 often yellow at the circumference or wholly yellowish. Stem 

 when young enclosed in the bulb, apparently awanting, then ex- 

 tended but scarcely more than 2.5 cent. (1 in.), solid, obese, 

 yellow, naked, white-cortinate at the apex. Bulb very depressed, 

 marginate, rooting, wider than the young pileus. Gills rounded, 

 thin, very crowded, golden-yellow at length tawny. 



The bulb and the scales on the pileus resemble the volva of the A?nanitcz of 

 the group represented by A. rubescens. The whole plant is robust, very hard. 

 Mild. The pileus is tawny, almost brown, margin orange. Stem not fila- 

 mentous, at first slightly viscid.

23. C. orichalceus Batsch. — Pileus 7.5 cent. (3 in.) broad, 

 normally blood-red or liver-rufescent, with the margin livid, or 

 bay-brown-ferruginous, and cinereous-olive round the margin, 

 fleshy, convex, soon flattened, at length depressed, with a viscous 

 Pellicle or glutinous, the disc spotted with scales. Stem 7.5 cent. 

 (3 in.) long, 12 mm. (}4 in.) thick, solid, equal, but springing from 

 a marginate somewhat volvaceous bulb, very fibrillose (the fibrils 

 viscid in wet weather from the gluten of the pileus flowing down), 

 yellow-green or dingy yellow-pale. Gills adnate, broad, crowded, 

 sulphur-yellow becoming green. 



The flesh alike of pileus and stem white, but lemon-yellow at the circum- 

 ference, at length wholly greenish-yellow. Easily distinguished by its dark 

 dirty colours, which are nevertheless variable (the pileus sometimes oliva- 

 ceous). The gills are very broad behind. 



Under trees. Lyndhurst, New Forest. 



Name — orichalchum, yellow copper ore, or brass. Of the colour. Fr.
