50 AGARICINI. 



Telamonia. Name — lAvs, mud ; ttous, a foot. From the dirty stem. Fr. Monogr. ii. p. 

 88. Hym. Eur. p. 385. Berk. Out. p. 193. C, Hbk. n. 533. S. Mycol. 

 Scot. n. 495. Ag. Bull. t. 586./. 2. A.B., t. 578 partly. 



*##* Stem floccoso-scaly , fe^c. 



103. C. hemitrichus Fr. — Pileus 2.5-7.5 cent. (1-3 in.) broad, 

 dark fuscous, fuscous-tan when dry, umbo commonly persistently 

 dark, somewhat fleshy, convexo - expanded, sometimes acutely, 

 sometimes obtusely umbonate or wholly obtuse (in largest speci- 

 mens even umbilicate on account of the hollow apex of the stem), 

 sometimes wholly, sometimes roimd the margi?i elegantly white- 



fibrilloso-curled with erect floccl, the fibrils however superficial, 

 even, never torn. Stem 4-6 cent. {i%-2}4. in.) long, at the very 

 first hollow, equal, thick, firm, scarcely ever flexuous, pallid 

 fuscous, white-flocculose below the medial ring which is woven, 

 shining white, not rarely membranaceous and reflexed. Gills 

 adnate, but ventricose at the base, hence they appear rounded, 

 very crowded, 6 mm. (3 lin.) broad, quite entire, clay-colour, at 

 length cinnamon. 



Odour none, taste not unpleasant. Pileus stiff, scissile. It becomes ad- 

 pressedly fibrillose when the flocci are flattened, and becomes smooth when 

 these are wiped off by showers. The colour resembles that of C. castaneus 

 when dry. In smaller forms the fibrils of the pileus are shorter, and the ring 

 less conspicuous. 



In mixed woods. Uncommon. Sept.-Oct. 



Spores sphosroid-ellipsoid, 7x5 mk. K. Name — 0pi|, hair. Partially 

 hairy. Fr. Monogr. ii. p. 89. Hym. Eur. p. 385. Icon. t. 160. f. 2. B. 6f 

 Br. n. 930. C. Hbk. n. 534. S. Mycol. Scot. n. 496. 



104. C. stemmatus Fr.— Pileus 4-5 cent. (i)4-2 in.) broad, 

 date-brow?i when moist, becoming pale when dry, slightly fleshy, 

 convex then flattened, obtuse, fragile, hoary - silky round the 

 7nargin when moist, fibrillose when dry. Stem 5-7.5 cent. (2-3 

 in.) long, stuffed then fistulose, equal or slightly attenuated at 

 the base, often curved, soft, externally and internally ferruginous- 

 date-brown, paler and becoming silky-even at the apex. Gills 

 adnate, crowded, 4 mm. (2 lin.) broad, narrower behind, date- 

 brown, opaque. 



Distinguished by the pileus being hoary-silky round the margin, and by the 

 very crowded, narrow, date-brown gills. It occurs under two forms : the 

 earlier with the stem floccoso-squamulose and somewhat ringed ; and the 

 later with the stem naked, the veil being wiped off. Allied to C. tiraceus, but 

 in that species there is no trace of a woven veil even in its earliest stages. 



In moist woods. Lyne, Sussex. 

 Name — cre/Afxa, a wreath. From the silky marginal band. Fr. Monogr. ii.
