 In woods. 



Cortinarius (Tela.) scutulatus. Fr. 



Pileus about 1 in. across, fleshy at the disc, margin thin, 

 ovate then expanded, obtuse, purple-umber, brick-red when 

 dry, at first silky and white near the margin, ihen becoming 

 broken up into squamules; gills adnate, about 2-3 lines- 

 broad, rather distant, purple-violet ; stem 3-4 in. long, in. 

 thick, somewhat bulbous, rigid, dark violet outside and

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 266 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 820A. 



In damp woods, &c. 



Smell like that of radishes, stem above the bulb, which is 

 often wanting, cylindrical, apex often hollow, hence the 

 fleshy disc of the pileus becomes umbilicate. Veil sometimes 

 concentrically squamulose, sometimes almost absent, mem- 

 branaceous ring obsolete. Edge of gills at first whitish 

 then cinnamon. (Fries.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) evernius. Fr. 



Pileus 2-4 in. across, thin, almost membranaceous, conico- 

 campanulate then expanded, obsoletely umbonate, everywhere 

 covered with a white, fibrillose, silky, adpressed veil, usually 

 purple-bay when glabrous, very hygrophanous, brick-red 

 when dry, becoming dingy pale ochraceous when old, cracked 

 and torn into fibrils, very fragile ; the very thin flesh 

 similarly coloured ; gills adnate, ventricose, very broad 

 (<j 1 in.), distant, purplish-violet, becoming pale, at length 

 cinnamon ; stem 3-6 in. long, ^ in. and more thick, equal or 

 attenuate downwards, slightly striate, violet, becoming pale, 

 obsoletely squamulose and indistinctly annulate from the 

 veil ; spores elliptical, granular, 10 x 7 //,. 



Cortinarius (Telamonia) evernius, Fries, Monogr., ii. p. 77; 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 266 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 821 and 865. 



In damp pine woods, &c. 



Smell not remarkable, resembling C. elatior in size, but 

 not in any way allied, differing in the absence of the 

 glutinous veil and also in colour. (Fries.)
