Pileus l|-2 in. across, rather fleshy, campanulate, then 

 expanded with the margin upturned and the centre conical, 

 hygrophanous, squamose, with superficial scales arising 

 from the breaking up of the cuticle, pallid or pale dingy 

 buff ; veil attached to the margin in small, fugacious 

 patches ; gills adnexed, crowded, about 2 lines broad, whitish 

 then purplish-brown; stem 2-3 in. long, about 2 lines thick,

A very distinct species, recognised by the scaly, pallid 

 pileus, which at maturity is broadly conical in the centre, 

 and more or less upturned at the margin. 



Hypholoma Candolleanus. Fr. 



Pileus l|-3 in. across, slightly fleshy, campanulato-convex 

 then expanded, obtuse, glabrous, hygrophanous, bay when 

 moist, almost white with the disc ochraceous when dry; 

 flesh white ; veil appendiculate ; gills rounded behind and 

 adnexed, crowded, pale-violet then cinnamon-brown, narrow ; 

 stem 2-3 in. long, 2 lines thick, rather fibrillose, hollow, 

 white ; spores elliptical, 8 X 4 /*.

 Hdbk., p. 206 ; Cke., Hdbk., pi. 546. 



On stumps and on the ground. Caespitose. 



Colour of the pileus and gills very variable, depending on 

 the amount of moisture. The appendiculate veil and gills 

 violet at first, readily distinguish the present species. Base 

 of stem solid and slightly incrassated. Pileus whitish, apex 

 ochraceous, but bay at first. Flesh white. (Fries.)
