Jakob E. Lange: Studies in the Agarics of Denmark. IV. 7 



Fig. specimens: Hunderup, wood of Fagus, on the ground, 

 June 1899. Rather common, like the preceding species, from 

 midsummer till harvest-time. 



5 a. P. praecox var paludosa J. E. L. 



Spores etc. as in type. 



Fig. specimens: Dalumgård, marshy meadow, June 1901, and 

 Lindvedgård (similar locality), June 1907. 



This little slender form has the stature of a Naucoria. The 

 cap is only l 1 ^ — 3 cm broad, the stem very slender, somewhat 

 wavy, 5 — 6 cm x 2 — 3 mm. When fresh it is minutely striate 

 around the edge. 



5 b. P. praecox var. cutefracta J. E. L. 



Spores etc. as in type. 



Fig. specimens: 1) Hesselager, border of road, Oct. 1906. 

 2) Horsens, amongst grass in outskirts of wood of Fagus near 

 the fjord. 



More compact, not hygrophanous, at last areolate-rimose. This 

 probably is what Fries called P. dura (.vide supr.). 



6. P. togularis (Bull.) 



Spores 7^2 — 9 x 4 3 / 4 — 5. Basidia 4-spored. Cystidia hairshaped, 

 protruding portion 30 — 35 ^ long, apex obtuse, slightly swelled, 

 up to 7 (i broad. 



Fig. specimens: 1) Hjallese, on old lawn, April 1898. 2) Same 

 garden, on cultivated ground, Maj 1903. Common in similar 

 localities. 



The first figure represents the paler form, the second a larger 

 and darker brownish (subferrugineous) form, which somewhat 

 approaches the description of P. ombrophila Fr. 



(Fries in his earlier works applied the name P. Arrhenii to 

 this species, using the name P. togularis for the plant which in 

 »Hymenomycetes Eur.« he calls P. ombrophila.) 



6a. P. togularis var. filaris Fr. (Icon. sei. tab. 104). , 



Spores l l / 3 x 4 l / 4 u. Cystidia hairshaped. 



Fig, specimens : Hjallese, copsewood, on the ground, 1) Oct. 

 1895 and 2) Sept. 1897. 



Smaller (cap 1 — 1,6 cm) and more slender (stem 2 mm), cap 

 somewhat striate. — Like the typical P. t. it is characterized by 

 the radiatelv sulcate ring. Ricken (loc. cit.) applies the name 

 P. blattaria Fr. to this species; but the Friesian species has a 

 smooth ring (vide his »Monographia Hvmenomvcetum Sueciae«, 

 vol. I pag. 308). 



7. P. teneroides now sp. 



Spores 11 — 12 x 5 — 5 l / 2 (a ellipsoid. Basidia 2-spored. Cystidia 

 cylindric-flaskshaped, obtuse, about 12 (a broad.
