 times 12. 5-15 cent. (5-6 in.) long, 12 mm. {%, in.) thick, solid and 

 rigid, cylindrical or bulbous at the very base, externally and

Odour strong of radish. Assuming various forms. Veil white; when in 

 fullest vigour there is not only a superior ring, but there are also many zones 

 from the floccose scales being arranged concentrically as in C. truimphans ; 

 commonly with a simple ring above and clothed with sparse fibrils, occa- 

 sionally quite denuded. There are, moreover, variations with the stem hol- 

 low at the apex and the pileus umbilicate — with the pileus umbonate, more 

 even, &c.
