38 FUNGUS-FLOKA. 



Cortinarius (Tela.) bulbosus. Fr. 



Pileus about 3 in. across, unequally fleshy, cainpanulate 

 then expanded, obtuse or broadly gibbous, even or with the 

 epidermis torn into squamules or fibrils near the margin, bay 

 when moist, fuscous-tan when dry ; flesh similarly coloured 

 when moist, whitish when dry, compact at the disc; gills 

 adnate, rather distant, broad, at first dark then brownish- 

 <:innamon, never violet-tinted; stem 2-3 in. long, bulbous, 

 paler than the pileus, vaguely peronate and imperfectly 

 ringed from the white veil, solid ; spores 8 x 34 p.. 



Cortinarius (Telamoma) bulbosus, Fries, Monogr., ii. p. 73; 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 264; Cke., Illustr., pi. 852. 



Agaricus bulbosus, Sow., t. 230. 



In woods, amongst moss, &c. 



Allied to C. armillatus and G. bnmneus, resembling the first 

 in colour and the second in size ; differs in the shorter stem 

 and the usually inconspicuous ring formed by the veil, 

 differs from Inoloma in the hygrophanous pileus, and from 

 Hygrocybe in the gills. Stem decidedly bulbous, base and 

 inside somewhat saffron-colour, at length brick-red ; pileus 

 slightly hygrophanous, often fibrillosely torn near the margin, 

 flesh-coloured like the pileus, whitish when dry, distinct from 

 V. biveliis in the darker colour. (Fries.) 



Smell like that of radishes. Pileus 2-3 in. broad, fibril- 

 lose under a lens, brittle ; margin thin. Gills rounded, sub- 

 adnate, distinct, 23 lines broad. Stem 34 in. high, sub- 

 fibrillose, in full grown specimens ferruginous at the base. 

 (Fries.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) urbicus. Fr. 



Pileus 1| 2 in. across, fleshy, convex then plane, glabrous, 

 whitish-tan colour; gills emarginate, ventricose, 3 lines 

 broad or even more, rather close, pale ferruginous ; stem 

 about 2 in. long, \-\ in. thick, equal, nearly smooth, 

 peronate, pallid, villose above the narrow, white ring, 

 solid. 



Cortinarius (Telamonia) urbicus, Fries, Epicr., p. 293; 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 264; Cke., Illustr., pi. 818. 



In grassy places. 



Allied to Cort. bivelus, but readily distinguished by being 

 glabrous and paler in colour.
