36 FUNGUS-FLOKA. 



Agarkus impUhnaceus, Bull., t. 5G1, f. 2. 



On mamircd ground. (lun>r, itc At one time confounded 

 with PauaeoJns campaunhiius, but quite distinct although 

 closely allied, and recognised by the much paler hemi- 

 splierical pilous, paler stem, and broader, broadly aduate 

 gills. The present species is altogether a firmer fungus. 



Closely allied to Panacolm canqianulatiis, but certiinly 

 distinct; stem even, whitish, apex even and powdered with 

 white: pilous hemispherical (not caaipanulate), when dry 

 commonl}' rimoso-squamose, dry, pallid ; gills broadly adnate, 

 3-4 lines broad (often broader than long) plane. (Fries.) 



*** Pileus not viscid smooth, shining, zoneless. 



Panaeolus campanulatus. Linn. 

 Pileus about 1^ in. high and broad, rather fleshy, campa- 

 nulate, often more or less umbonate, not expanded nor split- 

 ting, dry, even, glabrous, rather slimy, brown becoming 

 rufescent; gills adfixed, 2 lines or more broad, ascending^ 

 grey variegated with black, edge usually Avhitish ; stem 

 3-5 in. long, 1-2 lines thick, equal straight, every part ru- 

 fescent, apex striate, at first frosted with white meal, then 

 powdered with the black spores, hollow; spores elliptical

Agaricus campanulatus, Linn., 8uec., 2, n. 1213. 



Agaricus (Panaeolus) campanulatus, Fries, llym Eur 

 p. 311 : Cke., lldbk., p. 220 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 629. 



On the ground where manure is abundant, tl'c. Allied to 

 Panaeolus papiUunnccus, but distinguished by the campanu- 

 late, more or less umbonate, rufescent stem, and the ascend- 

 ing gills. In rainy weatlier the stem is often beaded with 

 m(jisture. A^eil exceedingly fugacious. 



Stem hollow, straight, comnionly 3 in. long, 1-2 lines 

 thick, even, glabrous, lufous, apex distinctly striate, and at 

 first pruinose, then powdered black with the falling spores. 

 I'ileus rather fieshy, canipanulate, then convex, oi'len umbo- 

 nate, not cracking, dry, even, rather shining, l-l in. high 

 and broad, smoky-brown, rufous wlien dry. (Tills adnate, 

 ascending, crowded, grey variegated with black. \'eil fuga- 

 cious, often absent. A much smaller variety also exists. In
