Pilens between fleshy and membranaceous, convex,then expanded, 

 rather depressed, smooth, hygrophanous ; when dry silky, shin- 

 ing ; stem stuffed, equal, smooth, white, then growing pallid j 

 whitish pruinose above ; gills emarginate, free, broad, rather dis-

 polius, Eng. Fl. Y.p. 76. 



In woods. Common. 



Pileus 1^ to 3 in. broad, piano-expanded or sub-depressed, occasionally 

 minutely umbonate, ochraceous, with a brownish tint, the margin sometimes 

 darker and waved, in large specimens sub-carnose, smooth and shining, with 

 a satiny lustre, most minutely silky under a lens, but the silkiness quite ad- 

 pressed ; gills very broad, thick, and adnate, more or less rounded behind, 

 and separating from the stem ; stem 2-4 in. high, 2 lines or more thick, hol- 

 low and stringy within, sub-flexuous, pulverulent at the apex, downy at the 

 base, minutely fibrilloso-striate. Odour strong. — M. J. B. Spores somewhat 

 irregular, "00034 in. average length. 



Suh-Gen. 14. Clitopilus. Fr. Epicr. p. 148. 



Spores salmon colour, in some species very pale, almost white, 

 pip-shaped, somewhat irregular spheres, or altogether irregular, 

 as in Entoloma, flg. 12 ; pileus pruinose, dull white, cinereous, or 

 brownish, generally fleshy ; stem fleshy or fibrous, confluent with 

 the hymenophore and homogeneous with it ; gills decurrent, 

 never sinuated. 



Hab. All are terrestrial. — (PI. III., jig. 14.) 



With the exception of the gills, most of the characters correspond with 

 Entoloma. The odour of the species is more or less mealy, some, however, 

 are oily, some tasteless, others edible. Clitojnlusia closely allied to Ciifocybe, 

 and differs from EntoloimL precisely as Clitoajhe differs from Trkholoina, 

 Clitojjilus agrees more or less with Flammula. — W, (?. S,
