of the pileus. Sfon ^—1 inch high, incurved, minutely pulverulent, 

 stuffed and not truly fistulose, minutely strigose or tonieutosc al the 

 base. The whole plant dries up in fine weather, but revives with the 

 first shower. — The above description applies to four different states of 

 this species, which is very variable. I always find the stem pulverulent 

 when accurately examined. A. corticalis, Sow., Fries susj)ects in his 

 Ind. A/jJi. to be A. supinus; though that has the gills nearly free; 

 but I think it is clearly the same species as Bulliard's. Sommerfelt 

 quotes it under his A. corticulu.

Trunks of trees, especially pear, apple and elm. Oct. Not common. 

 Mettingham and elsewhere near Biu)gay. Wood/card. — Pileus ^ an 

 inch broad. Gills adncxed or nearly free. Stem ^ an inch long, 1 line 

 thick. — I have not met with this species, which appears to be very 

 nearly allied to A. rorlicohi, differing principally in its adnexeil gills. 

 The specimens in Sowerby's Herbarium (juitc confirm this notion as 

 far as his figure is concerned. The stem is probably not solid but 

 minutely stuffed.

 at first minutely un\l)onate, at length expanded convex and slightly 

 de()ressed in the centre, distinctly and broadly striate, deep rich red 

 tawny, the umbo darker; sometimes the striie are paler, (tills (cw, 

 pale, yellowish- white, broad, adnate ; at length detached so as to form 

 a collar round the stem, but not very distinct. Stt/n I inch or rather 

 more iiigh, brown, paler at the to|), flcxuous, capillary, smooth. A 

 most elegant s[)ecies, well described l)y Micheli, analogous if not very 

 closely related to the species in the second division of " Collyhia,^' His 

 figure is smaller tiian my specimens.
