210 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



broad, flesh-colour at first, but becoming pale when old and 

 whitish, tan; margin thin, naked, involute. Flesh soft, 

 white, soon infested with maggots. Gills emarginate, 

 with a decurrent tooth, thin, crowded, whitish, colour not 

 changing. Among the tribe Guttata^ where the species are 

 closely allied, and of which T. gamhosiim is typical, the present 

 species is remarkable for the flesli-coloured, unspotted pileus. 

 Most nearly allied to T. cdbellum, which however appears 

 earlier in the season and differs in colour, &c. (Fries.) 



Tricholoma tigrinum. Schaeff. 



Pileus lJ-2 in. across, flesh thick at the disc, margin thin, 

 white; convex then expanding and often wavy, glabrous, 

 pale brown or greyish-white, with darker, crowded spots, 

 ibut not broken up ; gills rounded behind, crowded, narrow, 

 white ; stem about 1 in. long and nearly or quite as thick, 

 tumid, firm, white, pruinose, solid. 



Agaricus tigrinus^ Schaefi'., t. 89 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 38 ; Cke., 

 Illustr., pi. 64. 



In fir woods, &c. 



Stout, smell not remarkable, like fresh meal. Stem 1 in. 

 long and thick, very compact, solid, pruinose, white. Pileus 

 compactly fleshy, in my specimens convex then expanded, 

 obtuse, wavy, 2 in. broad, pale brown, variegated with 

 crowded, darker spots. Flesh thick, white, unchangeable, 

 thin towards the involute margin. Gills rounded behind, at 

 length with a decurrent tooth, crowded, narrow, white, at 

 length becoming dark. (Fries.) 



Odour foetid. (Cooke.) 



The pileus is sometimes whitish or with a tinge of grey, 

 and the spots almost black. Differs from T, guttatum in the 

 pileus not being broken up, and the margin even. 



Tricholoma pes-caprae. Fr. 

 Pileus fleshy at the disc, the rest thin, conical then 

 expanded, umbonate, unequal, 1-2 in. across when young, 

 entire; expanded when adult, and then 3-4 in. across, 

 cracked, greyish-brown, variegated, margin thin, naked ; 

 gills emarginate, up to J in. broad, at length distant, white 

 then greyish ; stem solid, about 3 in. long, scarcely J in. 

 thick, equal or attenuated downwards, naked, white ; spores 

 . elliptical, 8 x 5 /x.
