Amongst moss. Scj)t. — May. Common, «. & y. — Pilcus 1 — G lines 

 l)road, at first hcmisphairical, the margin inflexcd, then plane ; more or 

 less depressed, yellow or tawny with a dusky centre, obscurely striated, 

 the whole minutely pilose. Gills yellowish or white, distinct, not vcn- 

 tricosc, dccurrcnt. Spomlcs white, round. Stan 1 — U- inch high, 

 not a line thick, slender, yellow, or tawny with a violet-brown apex, 

 the whole minutely pilose like the pilcus and obsoletcly fibrillosc. I 

 find the pilcus both in u. & y. to be constantly minutely pilose. There 

 seems no doubt that the latter is but a variety, differing in no respect, 

 except in colour. Withering has an excellent description of it.

 " Pileus smooth, disk submembranaceous. Gills dccurrcnt, rather 

 distant, narrower tiian in any neighbouring species, dirty white, with 

 a rufescent tinge, then of tlie same colour as the pilcus. Stem when 

 young stullcd, then hollow, thickened at the base and there clothed 

 with whitish down, snbattenunle upwards." Fr. I. c. — Greatly varyini; 

 in size and coloin- : ilcsh-coloured, brick-red, dirt3-tawny, rufous, cVC. 

 A. tnrfosusy Sow. must be considered as a variety of this species, 

 differing from the state figiued by lUilliard, as the dwarf varieties of 

 A. innhcllifaus do from A. jjscuflu-aiidrosaccus, Bull,
