Cortinarius (Tela.) brunneus. Fr. 



Pileus 3-4 in. across, unequally fleshy, disc obtusely 

 ximbonate and truly fleshy, the rest thin, campannlate then 

 expanded, naked, innately fibrillose towards the margin, 

 umber, dingy reddish-tan when dry, becoming more or less 

 marked with depressed point-like punctures; flesh, pallid 

 brown ; gills at first adnate then adnexed, ^ in. and more 

 broad, broadest in the middle, thick, distant, transversely 

 veined, dark purple-cinnamon, then brown, at length umber- 

 cinnamon ; stem clavate or attenuated upwards from the 

 thickened base, 4 in. long, | in. thick above, elastic, brownish,

Cortinarius (Telamonia) brunneus, Fries, Monogr., ii. p. 81 ; 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 269 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 854 and 868. 



In pine woods, &c. 



Stature very variable ; when growing in deep sphagnum 

 swamps it is slender, stem up to 8 in. long, naked, brown, 

 pileus small, 1 1 in. broad, plane, obtusely umbonate, 

 umber. (Fries.) 



Our plate 868 agrees well with the figure by Fries in the 

 Upsal Museum. It can scarcely be confounded with any 

 other species. Spores pip-shaped, elliptical, 10-12 x 6 p. 

 (Cooke.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) brunneofulvus. Fr.

 fibrilloso-virgate from innate adpressed hairs under a lens, 

 margin at first white fibrillose, tawny-cinnamon, hardly 

 changing colour when dry ; flesh thin, pale dingy tawny ; 

 gills adnate, but soon very ventricose, \ in. and more broad, 

 rather distant, distinct, soft, tawny-cinnamon, opaque ; stem 

 3-4 in. long, 3-4 lines thick, attenuated upwards, fibrilloso- 

 striate, almost glabrous when adult, pale tawny outside and 

 inside; veil dingy white, forming a zone round the stem, 

 but soon entirely disappearing, stem solid then soft and 

 spongy within.
