ulate. GUIs white, slightly vcntricose, adnate or adnexed, in which 

 latter case when young they are quite free : connected by veins. Stejn 

 1 — 2 inches high, |- a line thick, sometimes rooting, pulverulent above, 

 pulverulento-fibrillose below, with a little down at the base not brittle. 



— My specimens come very near to Bulliard's figures, and though the 

 gills vary much in the degree of adherence, 1 can see no well-marked 

 variety. The stem is always more or less pulverulent. 



* 7. Stemjuiceless, not rooting but adhering by an orbicular dish. 



156. A. stf/Idhates, Pers. (disk-stemmed Agaric); tender, 

 pileus obtuse striate subpilose, gills free distinct, stem adherinj^ 

 by an orbicular striate membrane. Pers. Syn. p. 890. t. 5.

On Fern, sticks, leaves, Szc. Probably not uncommon. Yarwell, 

 Norths. Aug. Rev. M. J. Berlieley. — Pure white. FUeus 2 lines or 

 more broad, campanulate or hemisjihairicul, sometimes broadly and 

 obtusely umbonate, striate, with a round mark (in thinner specimens) 

 in the centre caused by the insertion of the stem, minutely pilose, 

 not granulose. Gi//s unequal, rounded, free. Stem 1 — 2 inches liigh, 

 ^ a line thick, rather thicker at the base, flcxuous, fistulose, downy or 

 minutely pilose, though sonietimes, as the pileus becomes quite smooth, 

 fragile, adhering by a broad, membranous, tomentose.radiato-striate disk. 



157. A.tentrrimus, Berk, (smallest disk-rooted Agaric); pilous 

 hemisphaM-icai snbplicate frosted with minute granules, gills 

 free ventricose, stem pilose adhering by a minute disk which is 

 not striate. 



On cones of the Scotch fir, sticks, &c. Aug. — Dec. Probably not 

 uncommon. Oundle, Norths. iMargate. Ilev. 31. J. Ber/u/ct/ — 

 Gregarious, pure white. Pileus 1 — 1^ line broad, very delicate, temler 

 and easily injured, not pilose but frosted with minute granules. Gills 

 distant, unequal. Sjxirulcs white, round. Stem 1 inch high, scarce 

 ^^ of a line thick, flexuous, fistulose, adhering by a miimte j)ubescent 

 disk, which is not the least striate. — A very minute but distinct species, 

 and as far as I can discover undescribcil, except it be A. chivuldris, 

 Batsc/i, Cont. l.f. 81, which is considered by Fries as A. Cortirola. 

 The figure is a tolerably correct representation of it, even to the i\\>k. 

 It is however described as light blue, aiul though the stem is stateii lo 

 be subsericeous, nothing is said about the granules on the pileus or the 

 free gills. 



158. A. pilipes, Sow. (hairy-stemmed parasitic Agaric); 

 c.nespitose brown, j)ilens obtuse eve)i smooth, gills free close, 

 stem rather thick hairy. Sow. t. ii49. Fr. Syst. Nye, v. 1. 

 ;;. 154. 



Pit, us F) ^ lines high and broad, subcarnose, obtuse. Gills ascend- 

 ing. Stiin i! inches high, hairy, the same colour as the pileus, fistulose. 



— A very obscure species figured by Sowerl>y Irom specimens preserveil 

 in Hungary water, and tlierefore no great dcpendance can be placed 

 upon the colour. It certainly has no affuiily Nvith the species with 

 ^^hlch Fries lias associated it', but as 1 have no fresh light to throw
