 hygrophanous, at fixsl fnligiiious or mouse-colour, theii livid-grey, 

 somewhat membranaceous, convex then flattened, the darker

 sometimes (the disc excepted) smooth, sometimes fibrillose. 

 Stem 2.5-5 cent. (1-2 in.) long, scarcely 2 mm. (i lin.) thick, 

 cartilaginous, fistulose, thin, equal, tense and straight, eve7i, 

 smooth, typically livid, white-villous at the base. Gills adnate, 

 separating-free, somewhat distant, plane, equally atteiiuated from

 -It approaches A. serrulatus as A. asprellus approaches A. chalybaus.
