46 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



evidently a Telamonia. Pileus distinctly hygrophanous, not 

 splitting. (Fries.) 



Pileus 2-4 in. broad, when dry ochry-yellow, subsquar- 

 rose. Gills sometimes adnate, sometimes emarginate, veil 

 rarely forming a perfect ring. Stem 24 in. high, ^ in. thick, 

 firm, fibrillose, dull yellow sometimes saffron-red. (Fries.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) hinnuleus. Fr. 



Pileus 1 2^ in. across, flesh very thin except at the sub- 

 Timbonate disc, conico-campanulate then expanded, glabrous, 

 pallid tawny-cinnamon, tawny when dry; gills slightly 

 emarginate, distant, 3-4 lines broad, tawny-cinnamon, edges 

 quite entire ; stem 3-4 in. long, 3-4 lines thick, rigid, 

 attenuate below or subequal, tawny, the whitish silky veil 

 forming a ring-like zone, stuffed ; spores elliptical, granular, 

 10-12 X 7-8 p..

In woods, &c. 



Very variable in size, stem sometimes short and equal, 

 sometimes slender, elongated, and flexuous, at times brownish, 

 up to 4 lines thick. Pileus varies to pallid and at length 

 depressed, rarely silky near the margin. Gills plane, 

 slightly connected by veins. Eecedes from all the species in 

 the subgenus in having a white veil. (Fries.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) gentilis. Fr. (fig. 9, p. 16.) 

 Pileus |-1 in. across, flesh thin, conico-expanded then 

 flattened, acutely umbonate, tawny-cinnamon, yellow when 

 dry, cracked and incised, sometimes somewhat silky ; gills 

 adnate, thick, very distant, plane, connected by veins, 

 coloured like the pileus at first, not changing colour when 

 dry like the pileus and stem, hence every part of the fungus 

 is coloured alike when moist, but differently coloured when 

 dry ; stem 3-4 in. long, 1-2 lines thick, equal or attenuated 

 at the base, often curved, usually straighter than that of 

 other species of similar size, fibrillose, tawny-cinnamon, 

 yellow when dry ; veil forming an oblique ring, sometimes 

 arranged in several zones, sometimes yellow below the 

 floccoso-squamulose ring ; spores granular, 7-8 x 6 /x.
