Agaricus pilulaeformis, Bulliard, Champ., t. 112; Fries, 

 Hym. Eur., p. 296 ; Pries, Mon. i. p. 428. 



On mossy trunks. 



Resembles a diminutive form of H. appendiculatus, dif-

 coloured tinge. In habit resembling Psathyrella disseminata, 

 very crowded and fragile. Stem hollow, 1 in. long, 1 line 

 thick, flexuous, glabrous, white, apex naked. Veil evident, 

 interwoven, in young specimens ring-like. Pileus almost 

 membranaceous, globose then expanded, obtuse, 1 in. and 

 more broad, even, smooth, brown when moist, dingy ochra- 

 ceous when dry. Gills adnexed, readily separating, thin, 

 narrow, linear, dry, white then grey, at length brownish.

Hypholoma hydrophilus. Bull. 



Pileus 12 in. across, flesh thin, convex then expanded 

 and almost plane, obtuse, rather wavy sometimes, hygro- 

 phanous, rugose, disc even, margin slightly inturned and 

 split, tawny-ochraceous when dry ; gills adnexed, ventricose, 

 about 2 lines broad, crowded, exuding drops of water, pallid, 

 then brownish-cinnamon ; stem about 2 in. long, 2-3 lines
