 cracked ; margin flexuous, broken ; stemlong, solid, striate, squa- 

 moso-flocculose above ; gills free, crowded, linear-lanceolate, 

 dirty-white. — Sow. t. 414. Berk. Outl.p. 155. Eiig. Fl. x.p. 95. 



In fir woods. July — Sept. 



Pileus 3 in. broad, fleshy, especially in the disc, campanulate, irregular, 

 longitudinally rimose, silky, dingy ; gills semi-lanceolate, 2-3 lines broad, 

 pallid. Stem 2 in. or more high, 3 lines thick, equal, striate, dirty-white,

327. Agaricus (Hebeloma) fastigiatus. Fr. " Peaked 



Hebeloma." 



Pileus fleshy, thin, conico-campanulate, longitudinally fibrous, 

 and cracked ; stem solid, stout, twisted, fibrously-silky ; gills 

 free, crowded, yellow, then brownish-olive (spores rough.) — Fr. 

 Epicr.p. 17-4. Berk. Outl. t. 8,/. 4. Ste7'b. t. 22. d. e. 



In woods. Rare. 



Yellow-brown. Stem 3-4 in. long, but variable in stature, attenuated up- 

 wards. Spores rough, with little nodules. 



328. Agaricus (Hebeloma) Curreyi. BerJi. " Currey's 



Hebeloma." 



Pileus convex, expanded, longitudinally fibrous, slightly cracked, 

 not umbonate; stem straight, attenuated uj^wards, finely fibrillose;

 — Berk. Outl.p.lbo. 



In woods. Aug. 



Closely resembling A. fastigiatus, but by no means umbonate. The stem 

 is dark, and the spores, which are subcynibiform, perfectly even.— M.J. B. 



329. Agaricus (Hebeloma) euthelus. B. S, Br. "Fir-leaf 



Hebeloma." 



Pileus expanded, strongly umbonate, undulating, fawn-coloured, 

 shining, silky, subsquamulose ; stem nearly equal, pallid, striate, 

 solid, fibrous ; gills pallid, margin white, toothed, adnate. — Ann. 

 Nat. Hist. 1865, no. 1004,2yZ. xiii./^. 2. 



On the ground amongst fir leaves. Aug. Aboyne, Aber- 

 deenshire. 



Smell farinaceous, rather disagreeable. Spores even, sub-elliptic, '00029 

 in. long. It differs from A. fastigiatus in the adnate gills, smooth, not rough, 

 spores ; and from ^4. Curreyi, with which it agrees as to the spores, in its 

 strongly umbonate pileus, nearly equal stem, and adnate gills.— .5. tO Br.
