* A. verruculosus Lasch. — Pileus compact, obtuse, yellow, 

 with crowded cinnamon scales 2.Vl^ papillcE. Stem villous-scaly. 



Remarkable, perhaps to be regarded as a distinct species. On trunks of 

 maple. King's Cliffe. Name — verruca, a wart. With small warts. Lasch 

 '^- 353- B. 6^ Br. n. 1939. 



508. A. subsquarrosus Fr.— Pileus 5 cent. (2 in.) and more 

 broad, brow7i-ferruginous, with darker, addressed, floccose scales, 

 fleshy, convex, obtuse or gibbous, viscid. Stem 7.5 cent. (3 in.) 

 long-, 8-10 mm. (4-5 lin.) thick, stuffed (often hollow when 

 old), equal, yellow-ferruginous, clothed with darker scales which 

 are adpressed, or spreading only at the apex, not squarrose, 

 furnished with an annular zone at the apex, becoming yellow- 

 ferruginous within. Gills deeply sinuate, emarginate, ahiiostf7-ee, 

 arcuate, crowded, at first pale then dingy yellow. 



Spores ferruginous. The pileus is viscid, but not glutinous like that of A. 

 adiposus. It holds a doubtful place between A. atirivellus and A. squarrosus, 

 departing from both, however, in the gills being at the first yellow ; and from 

 A. squarrosus, to which it is more like, in the gills being emarginato-free, not 

 decurrent. Somewhat caespitose. Almost inodorous. 



On a fir-stump and on the ground. Herefordshire, &c. Sept.

+t Gills yellow then pure ferriiginotis or tawny. 



509. A. spectabilis Fr. — Pileus 5-12.5 cent. (2-5 in.) broad, 

 tawny or golden-yellow then becoming pale, fleshy, compact, 

 hemispherical, obtuse, dry, torn into adpressed, innate, pilose 

 squamules of the same colour, continued into the veil at the in- 

 flexed margin ; flesh thicky hard, sulphur-yellow. Stem 7.5 cent. 

 (3 in.) and more long, 2.5 cent, (i in.) thick, solid, hard, more or 

 less ventricose and exteiided into a fusiform root, sheathed with the 

 veil J sometimes smooth, shining, sometimes squamulose, sulphur- 

 yellow, mealy above the inferior, spreading, persistent, even 7'ing. 

 Gills adnate, most frequently with a small decurre7tt tooth, very 

 crowded, 7iarrow^ at the hrsi pure yellow, at length ferruginous. 



More or less densely casspitose, very compact, shining as if varnished in dry 

 weather, although it is by no means viscous. Flesh with a bitter-aromatic 

 taste, A species remote from all others, analogous with A. aureus, but per- 

 haps most nearly allied to A. radicosus. 



On oak-stumps. Frequent. Aug.-Nov.
