CORTINARIUS. 43 



C. elatior in stature, but there is plainly no affinity between them from the Telamonia. 

 absence of a glutinous veil, and from the very different colours. 



In mixed woods. Frequent. Sept.-Oct. 



Spores subsphseroid-ellipsoid, 8-12x5-7 mk. K. Name — evepwj?, (ep^os, 

 sprout) sprouting. Growing tall. Fr. Alonogr. ii. p. jj. Hy?n. Eur. p. 377.

87. C. quadricolor Fr.— Pileus 5-7.5 cent. (2-3 in.) broad, 

 pallid yellow, then somewhat tawny, shifting when dry, slightly 

 fleshy, conical then flattened, umbonate, smooth, at length pierced 

 or spotted, radiato-striate at the margin ; flesh thin, of the same 

 colour. Stem 7.5 cent. (3 in.) long, thin, 4-6 mm. (2-3 lin.) 

 thick, stuffed then hollow, equal, flexuous, slightly rigid, fibrilloso- 

 striate with the adpressed veil, violaceous-whitish, the veil above 

 collapsing in the form of a zoned oblique white ring, at length 

 vanishing. Gills adnate, distant, broad, 6-8 mm. (3-4 lin.), but 

 thin, white-serrated at the edge, sometimes dark violaceous, some- 

 times purplish then cinnamon. 



Very much allied to C. hinnuleus, but the colours are different.

*** Stem and veil reddish or yellow. 



88. C. armillatus Fr.— Pileus 7.5-12.5 cent. (3-5 in.) broad, 

 red-brick- colour, truly fleshy, but not very compact, at first 

 cylindrical, soon campanulate, at length flattened, dry, at first 

 smooth, soon innately fibrillose or squamulose ; flesh dingy 

 pallid. Stem 7.5-15 cent. (3-6 in.) long, 12 mm. (}4 in.) thick, 

 solid, firm, remarkably bulbous (bulb 2.5 cent., 1 in. thick, 

 villous, whitish) and fibrillose at the base, when old striate and 

 rufescent-pallid, internally isabelline. Exterior veil woven, red, 

 arranged in 2-4 distant cinnabar zones encircling the stem; 

 partial veil continuous with the upper zone, arachnoid, reddish- 

 white. Gills adnate, slightly rounded, distant, at first pallid 

 cinnamon, at length very broad (12 mm., % in.), dark ferruginous, 

 almost bay-brown. 



Odour of radish. A very striking species. From the pileus not being 

 hygrophanous, at the first smooth and at length torn into fibrils or squamulose, 

 it might easily be taken for a species of Inoloma. The cortina itself is paler 

 than the zones. It differs from all others in these zones. 



In mixed woods. Frequent. Aug.-Oct.
