90 AGAEICINI. 



smooth, hygrophanous, dry, silky, or flocculose ; stem fles"hy- 

 fibrous, sometimes waxy, contimious with the hymenophore, 

 and homogeneous with it; gills sinuated, as in Tricholoma, etc., 

 almost free, or more or less adnate, sometimes parting from the 

 stem.— (PL III., Jig. IS.) 



Hab. All are terrestrial. 



Allied to Tricholoma, but, with few exceptions, the species of Eyitoloma are 

 much thinner and often brittle. Many possess the odour of new flour, but 

 none are edible, and some highly poisonous. They appear in summer after 

 hea\'7 raius. Besides corresponding with Tricholoma, Entolovia agrees in 

 structure with Heheloma and Hyj)]wloina. — W, G. S.
