 cending-, crowded, varying grey and black.

 whitish. There is a very small variety. The stem in both forms is often 

 sprinkled with small watery drops in rainy weather.

767. A. papilionaceus Fr. — Pileus pallid, slightly fleshy, 

 hemispherical, smooth, rimoso-scaly when dry. Stem equal, 

 even, whitish, white-pulverulent at the apex. Gills broadly 

 adftate, very broad, at length plane, blackish. 



It is certainly distinct from A. campa7tulatus, to which it is very much 

 allied, in the following ; stature in general smaller and firmer, stem even and 

 ivhitish, eve?i and white-pulveridcnt at the apex ; pilciis hemispherical (not 

 campanulate), almost that of A. semiglohatus, commonly rimoso-scaly when 

 dry, dry, pallid ; gills broadly adnate, 6-8 mm. (3-4 lin.) broad (often broader 

 than long), plane. In a very small form the stem is 2.5 cent, (i in.) long, but 

 the pileus is equally broad, in which it differs from the very small form of ^. 

 campa?tulatus. 



On dung, &c. Common. July-Nov.
