 specimens; campanulate then more or less expanded, slightly 

 Timbonate, slightly and distantly striate up to the umbo,

Agaricus (Mycena) excisus, Lasch ; Cke., Illustr., p. 143 

 (pileus brighter in colour than in Berkeley's original 

 drawing). 



On trunks. (Hothorpe.) 



This is certainly not the Agaricus excisus of Lasch, neither 

 does it agree with any other described species. 



Pileus 3 in. across, stem 4 in. hisj-h, root 2 in. long:. 

 Solitary or subcaespitose; gills purplish, strongly cut out 

 behind. The fig. Bull., t. olSi, is more characteristic of the- 

 specimens than that in Fries' Icones, taken from smaller 

 and probably more superficial specimens. (B. & Br.)

 obtuse, even, glabrous, but soft to the touch and looking as 

 if it was rather velvety, cinnamon or tawn}' -umber, becom-

 gills almost fi"ee, rounded behind, distant, very broad, 

 usually connected by vt-ins, white then pallid ; stem 4-5 in. 

 long, 2 in. thick, equal, even, glabrous, shining, bay up- 

 wards, the extreme apex often whitish, chestnut below,
