BOLBITIUS Fr. 



529. Bolbitius flavidus (Bolton). 



S.W. — Halifax. " Grows on dunghills, after rain, in June 

 and July" (Bolton Tab. ij^g = A g. flavidus). This tab. has 

 been quoted by Berkeley, Cooke, and others, as Bolbitius 

 Boltoni Fr. " As stated under Bolbitius Boltoni Fr., the true 

 species called Agavicus flavidus by Bolton, is quite distinct 

 from the species of Fries, the principal point of distinction 

 being that in the present species the pileus is obtuse or 

 subgibbous and not darker at the disc than elsewhere, the 

 free gills, and the plant not becoming dry and papery at 

 maturity, but deliquescing" (Mass. Brit. Fung. Fl., ii., p. 204).
