with a slightly decurrent tooth, broad, but not ventricose, 

 at length separating from the stem, indistinctly connected 

 by veins, white; stem 2-3 in. long, 1-2 lines thick, eijual 

 or slightly thinner upwards, round, slightl}' striate, when 

 young everj^where, or at all events at the apex, whitish, 

 squamulose, at length naked, rufescent, ba^e incurved,

On the ground, among twigs, &c. 



Somewhat resembling 31. pura, but distinguished by the 

 absence of a radishy smell. The stem often lias a lilac 

 tinge. M. jpstudopura ditfers in the stem being glabrous at 

 all ages and in the margin of the pileus being very indistinctly 

 striate. 



Mycena pseudopura. Cooke. 



Pileus about 1 in. across, flesh thin ; campanulate then 

 convex, and at length expanded, obtusely umbonate, smooth, 

 margin obscurely striate, rosy then pale ; gills adnate, 

 narrow, whitish ; stem 2-3 in. high, 1 line tiiick, rigid, 

 straight, even, naked, at first rosy- white, becoming brown 

 when dry, hollow; spores elliptical, 2 X 5 ft; smell none. 



Agaricus {JSIijcena) pseudopurus, Cke., Hclbk., p. 77; Cke. 

 Illustr., pi. 158a. 



In woods. 



Pileus scarcely exceeding an inch, rosj^ then pale; stem 

 2-3 in. long, slender, erect, hollow, turning dark brown in 

 drying ; spores conspicuously larger and longer than in 

 31. imra. (Cooke.) 



31. zepliira is close to the present species, but differs in the 

 more strongly striate pileus, and in the stem being covered 

 with whitish squamules when young. 31. pura is distin- 

 guished by the radish-like smell. Gills with an indistinct 

 decurrent tooth. 



Mycena pura. Pers. 



Smell strong, resembling radishes. Pileus 1J-2J in. across, 

 flesh thin; campanulate then expanded, obtusely umbonate, 

 glabrous, margin striate, colour variable, generally clear pale 

 rose-colour, but also lilac, greyish, pallid, yellowish, and 

 white; gills adnexed and broadly sinuate behind, very broad,
