In woods. Rare. Near Bristol. 



The spores are far more o-lobose than in any other species, and are either 

 quite obtuse or minutely apiculate. The inner membrane of the spores often 

 contracts, so as to present a very singular appearance. A few elongated 

 spores are mixed with them, but the normal form is globose. They are 

 larger than in H. teaer, bub smaller than in H. decorus.
