Dungy ground, about woods. July — Oct. Fineshade, Norths — 

 Pileus and stem more ferruginous than in A. tener. Gills much more 

 ferruginous, inclining to cinnamon ; spomles larger and darker. — As 

 there is another A. lateritius in the tribe HypJioloma, it is necessary 

 to change the name, as it seems scarcely permissible so long as Agaricus 

 is regarded as one large genus to have the same specific name in 

 different tribes. 



271. A. tener ^ Schoeff. {tender Agaric) ; pileus obtuse striate 

 •when moist when dry even ocliraceous, gills linear adnate, stem 

 long straight. Schceff. t. 70. Soiu. t. 33. Pers. Syn, p. 386.

In pastures, about dunghills, &c. May — Nov. — Pileus 1 inch high 

 and broad, subcarnose, campanulate or conico-campanulate, smooth, 

 shining, ochraceous when dr}'. Gills pale-ferruginous, ascending, more 

 or less adnate, ventricose or sublinear, margin white, subserrulate. 

 Stem 3 — 5 inches high, H line thick, striate, pulverulento-fibrillose, 

 not brittle, bulbous at the base. — It is not always easy to distinguish 

 between this species and some states of A. melinoides. Sowerby's 

 figure is very good. A. colus. With., referred by Fries to his A. apalus^ 

 probably is not different ; the individual in Sowerby's plate to which 

 reference is made, being clearly nothing more than an altered state of the 

 species from being drawn up amongst long grass. 



272. A. meliiioides, Bull, (yellowish Agaric) ; pileus obtuse 

 margin striate ochraceous inclining to light-red turning pale, 

 gills fixed ventricose paler as well as the pruinose stem,

Lawns and pastures. Oct. Very common. — Pileus 2 lines to 1 inch 

 broad, submembranaceous, umbonate, when moist tawny, margin 

 pellucid, ochraceous or whitish when dry. Gills very variable, adnexed 

 or broadly adnate, ventricose, at first paler than the pileus, at length 

 cinnamon. Stem 1 — 2 inches high, scarce 1 line thick, fistulose, 

 fibrillose above, subpruinose thickened below and downy, changing 

 colour. The gills remain bright. 



273. A. hypnorum, Schrank, (moss Agaric); pileus cam- 

 panulate subpapillatc, when moist sulcate subochraceous turning 

 pale, gills adnate rather broad distinct, stem wavy pruinose.
