" Inodorous. Pileus 1 inch or less broad, campanulato-convex, obtuse 

 then expanded, subumbonate, clothed with close squamulose squar- 

 rose down, which at length becomes obsolete and leaves the pileus 

 yellowish. Flesh of the pileus and^steni dirty-white. Gills broad, 

 ventricose, close, pallid at length brownish. Stem 1^ — 2 inches high, 

 1 — 2 lines thick, equal, tough, covered with brown fibrillose down, the 

 apex minutely pruinose." Fr. EL I. c. 



262. A.JiocculosuSt Berk, (hrown-fawn Agaric) ; pileus sub- 

 carnoseumbonatesericeo-squamulose, gills adnata, stem fibrillose 

 squamulose at the apex. 



Pastures, amongst grass or on the naked soil. Barnby in the Willows, 

 Notts. Sept. Pev. M. J. Berhelci/.— Pileus 1 inch broad, convex, 

 subcampanulate, umbonate, sericeo-squamulose, brownish-fawn colour ; 

 the margin smoother ; veil white, fibrillose, fugacious. Gills at first 

 pale-fiiwn, at length dull-ferruginous ; ventricose, arched behind and 

 then adnate but not broadly so, the margin white. Stem \\ inch high, 

 2 lines thick, fibrillose, pale-fawn; beneath the fibrilhe brown, the apex 

 minutely squanuiloso-pulverulent. Odour like that of new meal, but 

 nauseous. — On the naked soil, the characters arc as described above; 

 amongst grass the pileus is smoother, more tawny, rimoso-sericeous ; 

 gills not arcuate behind but broadly adnate. — Very nearly allied to the 

 last and to A. lacerus, Fr. 



2G3. A. rimosus, Bull, {chinhj Agaric); pileus carnose cam- 

 panulate at length expanded riinose brownish-yellow, gills 

 adnexed, stem solid, apex clothed with white mealy scales.

 fibrilhe, brown-yellow, at first cainpanulate then nearly plane and 

 umbonate, cracked in a radiate maimer, the inner substance appearing 

 through the cracks of a yellow hue ; sometimes the cj)idermis cracks 

 concentrically and the lower edge of the cracked portions is reflected 

 so as to present a squarrosc appearance, (tills ventricose, adnexed, 

 at first nearly white, the margin opaque, then olivaceous with the 

 margin white and crenate. Sporulcs elliptic, ferruginous. Stun 

 H — '1\ inches high, composed of fibres, distinct from the pileus, sub-
