132 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



{B.) Minor. Stem Ij in. long, about 1 line tliick, pul- 

 Terulent, glabrous and thinner downwards, outside and 

 inside colour of the pileus, not rufescent. Pileus convex 

 then plane, 1 in. across. (Fries.) 



Collybia conigena. Pers. 

 Pileus h-1 in. across, flesh thin, rather firm ; convex then 

 almost plane, somewhat umbonate, unequal, often angular, 

 also depressed, glabrous, j^ellowish brick-red, becoming pale 

 and sometimes almost white, margin slightly striate when 

 moist ; gills slightly adnexed, soon free, crowded, rather 

 narrow, pallid ; stem 1-3 in. long, very slender, car- 

 tilaginous, tough, coloured like the pileus, covered every- 

 where at first wdth white flocculent powder, at length almost 

 naked, terminating in a strigose, rooting base, spores broadly 

 elliptical, 4-5 X 3 //. 



Agaricus conigenus^ Pers., S}ti., p. 388 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 67 ; 

 Cke., Illustr., pi. 130. 



In pine woods, growing on cones and among pine leaves. 

 Usually gregarious. Known from C. tenacella and C. esculenta 

 by the free, closely crowded, narrow gills. C. cirrhata difi'ers 

 in the adnate gills. 



Gregarious. Pileus 1 in. or more broad, rather irregular, 

 umbonate, expanded, often depressed, sometimes quite smooth, 

 but occasionally more or less lanato-pubescent ; sometimes 

 tinged with chocolate, but generally ochraceo-rufous ; pale 

 when dry, and then occasionally zoned, flesh woolly when 

 dry, firm when moist. Gills very numerous, linear, free or 

 only adnexed, tinged with yellow, or of the colour of the 

 ])ileus, the unequal ones very long. Spores white, globose. 

 . Stem veiy various in height, \-\h lines thick, tough, pul- 

 verulento-pubescent with a long very strigose rooting base, 

 rufous, hollow, the inside woolly. Certainly a very distinct 

 species from the last (A. tenacellus). I do not find any pro- 

 cesses on the gills. It must not be confounded with A. con- 

 Jluens. (Berk.) 



Collybia cirrhata. Fr. 



Pileus up to h in. across, flesh thin ; conico-convex then 



plane, the disc at length umbilicately depressed, rufescent, 



often with a central papilla, rather silky, at length very 



slightly and often concentrically rivulose, opaque, white;
