6. R. asprellus Fr. 



Spores 11 ^ x 7% H> oval, angular. Basidia 4-spored. 



Fig. specimens: 1) Sanderum, boggy meadow, amongst grass, 

 July 1897; 2) Bramstrup, in a mossy bog, July 1897. — Rather 

 common. The stem varies in colour (brownish, bluish gray etc.). 



7. R. euchlorus (Lasch) 



Spores 10V 2 — 13 x 7 — 8 u, irregularly angular, broadly or nar- 

 rowly ovate. Basidia with 2 or 3 long sterigms. 



Fig. specimens: Border of main road between Korinth and 

 Høbbed, in grass, Oct. 1900, gregarious. 



My specimens differed from the description of Fries in having 

 a smooth stem. When bruised the flesh (especially that of the 

 stem) becomes verdigris-skyblue. — This species (which Fries 

 only knew from herbaria and figures) is hardly distinct from 

 the Friesian species R. (L.) incanus. 



8. R. sericellus Fr. (Entoloma s.) 



Spores 11— 11 V 2 x 7—7% (or 9—10 x 7 u), broadly ovate, rather 

 angular. 



Fig. specimens: 1) Skørping, old grass-field, Sept. 1897 ; 2) Årup, 

 border of road in wood, Sept. 1898. — 2) is a slender form from a 

 shady place, a transition to R. (Eccilia) cameo- albus. — Common 

 in old grassfields etc., especially on light soil. 



Like other modern authors I place this species in Leptonia, 

 although it has no near relations here, but rather in Eccilia. 





III: NOLANEA. 



A. SUBSTELLATÆ. 



1. R. pascuus (Pers.) 



Spores 9 — 10 x 7—9 u, 4— 6-angular, with prominent angles- or 

 almost stellate Basidia 4-spored. 



Fig. specimens: Gelsted, amongst moss and grass, green walk 

 in wood of Picea, Oct. 1906. Rather common, especially in open 

 spaces in coniferous plantations, rarely met with in frondose 

 woods. In open pastures a more dwarfy and somewhat lighter 

 form occurs. 



[Some French mycologists apply the name R. proletarius Fr. to 

 this species; but as Fries (»Monographia« I p. 293) expressly 

 states that R. proletarius is characterized by its cap being 

 »medio villosus et umbrinus« I must needs disagree from this 

 opinion. The same authors reserve the name R. pascuus for 

 the species here described sub nom. R. cetratus Schroeter, which
