 defines the differences between A. iener, A. melinoides and A. hyp?iorum : — 

 i) A. tener, stem tense and straight, pileus conical, gills linear and ascending ; 

 2) A. melinoides, stem somewhat tense and straight, unequal, pruinate, paler, 

 pileus fleshy -membranaceous, gills triangular; 3) A. hyp7iorii7n, stem more 

 flexile and pruinate, pileus campanulate and somewhat papillate, gills distant 

 and broader. Name — hypnum, a moss. Growing among mosses. Batschf.
