330 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



expanded but deeply sulcate, glabrous from the first, apex 

 even, not depressed, hay-brown; gills linear, 1-1 J lines 

 broad, adnate to an almost obsolete collar, pale, then black ; 

 stem very fragile, 3 in. and more long, attenuated upwards, 

 glabrous, pallid. With the habit of Coprinus plicatilis, but 

 taller. (Fries.) 



An exotic species imported with living plants. 



Coprinus platypus. Berk. (fig. 15. p. 303.) 

 Pileus 23 lines across, campanulate, convex, then ex- 

 panded, white, then ochraceous-flocculose ; gills free, narrow, 

 distant, becoming black ; stem about l in. long, very 

 slender, even, whitish, discoid at the base ; spores blackish, 

 8 x 6^t. 



Coprinus platypus, Berk., in Cooke's Illustr., pi. 687 B ; Cke., 

 Hdbk., p. 234. 



On palm stem in a conservatory. In all probability an 

 introduced species ; readily distinguished by its small size 

 and especially by the flattened, discoid base of the stem, in 

 which respect it resembles some of the minute species of 

 Mycena, as M. stylobates, &c. 



ANELLAEIA. Karst. (figs. 2, 5, p. 303.) 



Pileus slightly fleshy, smooth and even; gills adnexed, 

 dark slate-colour, variegated with the black spores; stem 

 central, smooth, shining, rather firm, ring present at first, 

 either persistent, or forming a zone round the stem. 



Anellaria, Karsten, Hattsv. i. p. xxv. ; Sacc., Syll., vol. v. 

 p. 1125. 



Panaeolus, Fries (in part). 



Allied to Pano.eolus, but distinguished by the presence of a 

 more or less perfect ring round the stem, bearing in fact the 

 same relation to Panaeolus that Amanita does to Amanitopsis 

 amongst the Leucosporae. 



Anellaria separata. Karst. (fig. 2, 5, p. 303.) 

 Pileus 1 lg in. across, height about the same, ovate, then 

 campanulate, not expanding, viscid, even, ochraceous, then 

 whitish, shining, flesh rather thick ; gills adfixed, ascending,
