59. C. tabularis Fr. — Pileus 7.5 cent. (3 in.) and more broad, 

 clay or fuscous-clay becoming pale, equally fleshy, not compact, 

 convexo-plane, broadly gibbous, at length becoming remarkably 

 plane, at first veiled with very thin, white flocci, silky near the 

 margin, then wholly smooth; flesh white. Stem 5-7.5 cent. (2-3 

 in.) long, 6 mm. (3 lin.) and more thick, stuffed, at length hollow, 

 tough, elastic, attenuated from the base or equal, erect, sometimes 

 floccoso-scaly, sometimes even, somewhat smooth, white, becom- 

 ing pale. Cortina white, fugacious. Gills somewhat emarginale, 

 crowded, thin, 6 mm. (3 lin.) broad, whitish then clay-colour. 



Sometimes the pileus is slightly concave, retaining water, and then the flocci 

 are broken up and collected in the form of a zone round the margin. At the first 

 the gills more rarely but slightly and very fugaciously incline to bluish-grey. 

 A form has occurred with the gills at length ferruginous. Larger, paler, and 

 smoother than C. anomalus to which it approaches.
