AGARICINI. 



Gen. 16. 



TROGIA, Fr. Mon. Hym. 



Pileus submembranaceous, soft, 

 tough, flaccid, but very dry, flexible, 

 reviving ; gills venose, fold-like, 

 forked, edge longitudinally chan- 

 nelled or crisped ; texture fibrillose ; 

 spores white. (Fig. 59.J 



In the only British species the edge of 

 the gills is not channelled but obtuse, but it 

 has the habit, form, and texture of Trogia, 

 and is referred to that genus without doubt ; 

 although the edges of the gills are not chan- 

 nelled they are nevertheless crisped.
