This [nocybe is well described by Bresadola, and can be re© 

 nized by its peculiar light-red stains, especially between the gills 

 or where they have been removed by snails or slugs. I »n the cap 

 this color-change is not very marked. The odor has been descril>e<l 

 as being Like thai of ripe pears or clove pinks, ami is quite char- 

 acteristic. Except that the pileus is usually fully expanded, Pat- 

 (Milliard's figure shows the old stage, which is most often found. 

 The gills are sometimes narrow instead of broad, as indicated by 

 Bresadola.
