Fig. specim. : Hjallese in moist copsewood (Fagus elc), Sept. 

 1S98. — Common, especially on and around old rotten stumps 

 of Fagus. 



This elegant little species (easily recognized by the brownish, 

 everywhere minutely pruinate stem, white agglutinate squamules 

 and pale yellowish gills) was in later years transferred to Hebe- 

 loma by Fries — Schkoeter (loc. cit.) describes it very well 

 sub. 110111. Astr. scabella [Ft.). 



(3. DEPAUPERATÆ. 



47. I. lanuginosa (Bull.). 



Spores 10 x 7 u, outline with about 7 obtuse, but prominent 

 warts. Cystidia obtuse, 16—20 u broad, inflated, generally broadest 

 below middle. 



Fig specim.: Rvslinge, on moist ground in wood of Fagus, 

 amongst ferns, Oct. 1908. — Also found at Lykkesholm (1909), 

 on old stump of Fagus, and in a bog under Salices and Picea, 

 Langesø, Oct. 1909. a o. localities 



Some authors distinguish between two species: a xylophilous 

 one: / lanuginosa Bres. and a terrestrial one: /. sabuleloruw iB. 

 et Curt.). Like Masses (1. cit., pag 468) I see no real difference 

 between the two. - - /. lanuginosa sensu Schroet. vide no. 34. - 

 Possibly some of tbe forms described by Sev. Petersen under 

 /. relicina belong here. — The plant is well characterized by the 

 umber-brown, velutino-squamulose cap, the central part of which 

 has minute, erect squamules, while the stem has brown, floccose 

 squamules. — (What /. relicina really is, I do not know. Quélet, 

 Massee and others describe it as a small, smoothspored fungus, 

 while Schroeter's description depicts a gigantic I. lanuginosa). 

 — Clypeus squarrosulus Karst (Symbol ad Myc. Fennic. XXXII) 

 seems to me exactlv like I. lanuginosa.
