LEUCOSPORI. 6^ 



whitish ; flesh becoming fuscous. Gills easily scparati7igf7'oi]i the Tricholoma. 

 hymenophore, rounded-free, crowded, broad, 4-6 mm. (2-3 lin.), 

 fragile, white then becoming cinereous, darker than the pileus. 



Very various in stature. Gregarious. The stem is sheathed at the base in a 

 peculiar manner witli the floccose, compact, white mycelium. It might perhaps 

 be regarded as a species of Paxillus, on account of the gills easily separating 

 from the hymenophore. 



In woods. Frequent. Aug. 



Smell rather disagreeable, pungent ; the stem, however, when broken smells 

 like new meal. B. Gf Br. Spores 5 mk. IV. P. Name — cinis, ashes. Be-
