On the ground, also in hothouses, &c. 



Eeadily distinguished by the densely caespitose mode of 

 growth, the small size, the viscid, ochraceous, glabrous pileus 

 which remains elongato-cylindrical for some time, then 

 becomes campanulate, and finally expands and splits at the 

 margin. 



Densely caespitose, fragile, readily distinguished from 

 Coprinus digitalis by its much smaller size ; stem short, thin ; 

 pileus from cylindrical to campanulate, glabrous, ochraceous, 

 gills adtixed, linear, white, then black. (Fries.)
