336 FUNGUS-FLOKA. 



Agaricus papilionaceus, Bull., t. 561, f. 2. 



On manured ground, dung, &c. At one time confounded 

 with Panaeolus campanulatus, but quite distinct although 

 closely allied, and recognised by the much paler hemi- 

 spherical pileus, paler stem, and broader, broadly adnate 

 gills. The present species is altogether a firmer fungus. 



Closely allied to Panaeolus campanulatus, but certainly 

 distinct; stem even, whitish, apex even and powdered with 

 white; pileus hemispherical (not campanulate), when dry 

 commonly rimoso-squamose, dry, pallid ; gills broadly adnate, 

 3-4 lines broad (often broader than long) plane. (Fries.) 



*** Pileus not viscid smooth, shining, zoneless. 



Panaeolus campanulatus. Linn. 



Pileus about 1^ in. high and broad, rather fleshy, campa- 

 nulate, often more or less umbonate, not expanded nor split- 

 ting, dry, even, glabrous, rather slimy, brown becoming 

 rufescent ; gills adfixed, 2 lines or more broad, ascending, 

 grey variegated with black, edge usually whitish ; stem 

 35 in. long, 12 lines thick, equal straight, every part ru- 

 fescent, apex striate, at first frosted with white meal, then 

 powdered with the black spores, hollow ; spores elliptical, 

 8-9 x 6 /z. 



Agaricus campanulatus, Linn., Suec., 2, n. 1213. 



Agaricus (Panaeolus) campanulatus, Fries, Hym. Eur., 

 p. 311 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 220 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 629. 



On the ground where manure is abundant, &c. Allied to 

 Panaeolus papilionaceus, but distinguished by the campanu- 

 late, more or less umbonate, rufescent stem, and the ascend- 

 ing gills. In rainy weather the stem is often beaded with 

 moisture. Veil exceedingly fugacious. 



Stem hollow, straight, commonly 3 in. long, 1-2 lines 

 thick, even, glabrous, rufous, apex distinctly striate, and at 

 first pruinose, then powdered black with the falling spores. 

 Pileus rather fleshy, campanulate, then convex, often umbo- 

 nate, not cracking, dry, even, rather shining, ^-1 in. high 

 and broad, smoky-brown, rufous when dry. Gills adnate, 

 ascending, crowded, grey variegated with black. Veil fuga- 

 cious, often absent. A much smaller variety also exists. In
