 lines broad, convex, wrinkled when dry, of the colour and nature of 

 A. corticola. Gills few, unequal, distant, sometimes dirty-white.

Subgenus 13. Clitopilus ; (from xKito;^ a declivity, and t/Xo^, 

 a cap?) Stem tolerably firm, suhequal distinct from thepileus. Pileus 

 fli'shy campanulate or convex, then somewhat plane, dry, regular. 

 Gills unequal, changing colour, fixed orfree,^-ln the anomalous 

 A. Mouceron, the stem is diffused into the pileus, the pileus 

 subdepressed, and the gills decurrent.

Woods and pastures. June — Oct. Common. — Pileus^ — 4 inches 

 broad, convex, more or less wavy, at length plane or subdepressed, 

 very fleshy, white, shining or opaque with a slight tendency to 

 cinereous, smooth, but under a lens minutely though densely tomentose, 

 so that the impression of the fingers is left upon it, margin involute. 

 Gills decurrent, narrow, more or less forked, covered with very minute 

 conical papilla?, ending in four spicuhe. Sporides rose-coloured, 

 elliptic, often seated upon thespicuki?. Ste7?i, in general, short, white, 

 solid, thickest at the base and downy. Odour like that of fresh meal. 

 Much esteemed on the continent as an article of food. Trattinnick's 

 plant however is evidently another species ; according to Fries' Index 

 Alph, A. graveolens, (Pers.) He compares the odour of his plant to 

 that of Primula Auricula. 



20k A. sericellus, Fv. (silhy rose-gilled Agaric) ; pileus sub- 

 carnose obtuse silky white as well as the slender fibrillosu 

 fistulose stem, gills adnate rose-coloured. Fr. Syst. Myc. v. I. 

 p. 196. — /S. A. sericeus, Pers. Ic. et. Desc. t. 6./. 2. (larger.)

 llev. M. J. Berkeley. — Subgregarious. Pileus f of an inch broad, 

 white, subcarnose, silky, slightly umbilicate. Gills pale rose colour, 

 broad, adnate, nearly horizontal, subdecurrent. Sporules round, rose- 

 coloured. Stem 2 inches or more high, 1 line thick, thickest and 

 downy at the base, sometimes subbulbous, solid or closely stuffed, white, 

 silky. Odour and taste like that of ^. campe.stris. My plant agrees 

 in every respect with that of Fries, except in the stem not being fistu- 

 lose; but I do not think this a sufficient ground to doubt its identity.
