3 5 lines broad, at length free, slightly carnosc. Gills rather broad, 



distinct. Stem 2 lines high, attenuated upwards, sometimes obsolete 

 as well as its radicles." Fr. l. c. Colour of A. variabilis ; form and 

 radicles of ^. hijssiscdus, but distinct from both in its white sporules. , 



199. A. hypnopJiilus, Pers. (ivhite- sjmruhd variable Agaric) ; 

 sessile resupinate flat white, pileus subreniform nearly smooth, 

 gills simple of the same colour. Pcrs. Myc. Eur. v, 3. p. 28. 

 t. 24. f, 5. a. 



On the larger mosses and on fallen leaves ; probably not uncommon. 

 Scotland, Captain Cannichad, and apparently the same species sent 

 by Purton to Dr. Hooker marked A. variabilis, but with white sporules. 

 Exactly the habit of A. variabilis, hut the sporules arc white, and in 

 consequence the gills do not change colour. The figures in Fcrs, I. c. 

 seem to have been taken from dried specimens. Nothing is stated as 

 to the colour in the text, but the inference from what is said, is that 

 they are white ; when dry the whole is of a pale tan. Fries in his Ind. 

 Alph., refers Persoon's plant to A. dcpluens, Batsch. 



200. A. chioncus, Pers. (snoiv-JiaJie Agaric) ; snow-white 

 siibresupinate minute, pileus very thin villous, gills rather 

 broad, stem very short villous at length obsolete. Pcrs. Myc, 

 Eur.v, 3.p.28.t. 26. f. 10, 11. 



On wood or dung. Sept. Hare. Lytchett, Dorsets., on horsc- 

 tlung. — Filais 2 lines broad, extremely delicate and fragile, clothed 

 with white down, fixed by a few downy threads, the margin involute. 

 Gills radiating, distant, with sometimes a single smaller one in the 

 interstices. Sporidcs white. Fries refers Pcrsoon's plant in his Ind. 

 Alpli. to A. mollis, var. dubius ; but it is clearly a very distinct species.

On rotten wood. Autumn and S|)ring. Not uncommon. Scot- 

 land, Ca])tain Carwi( had.— Pileus 2—4 lines broad, when young 

 cup-shaped, resupinate, slightly carnosc, striate when moist, more or 

 less villous. Gills broad, distant, radiating, grey, the niargin whitish. 

 StcjH none. The several forms of this sj)etics and its allies rccpiire 

 fresh and minute observation, cspc( ially as regards the sporules. I 

 liave founil s|)rcini('ns, ap|>arcnlly the same, with the sporules rose- 

 coloured. l)ulliard r('[)rescnts one state with subrufous gills, and 

 Sowcrljy's plant is of a greenish hue. The sporules arc certainly 

 white in Cannichaers specimens.
