72 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



Cooke's figure differs in having the stem distinctly hollow 

 from the first, flesh of pileus and stem hollow, and in possess- 

 ing a strong smell. 



Very showy, tall but slender, inodorous. In the young 

 state the stem is stuffed, conico-attenuated, 3-4 in. long, 

 often curved and wavy, fibrillose, sometimes squamulose, 

 becoming pale, apex naked and silvery-shining ; veil and 

 fibrillae of stem yellowish ; pileus with the exception of the 

 disc, almost rnembranaceous, at first conical or parabolic 

 (appearing somewhat ovate from the incurved pileus), at 

 first covered with silky fibrils, yellowish-olive, darker when 

 dry ; gills adnate rather distant, and broad ; bright pale- 

 ocbraceous. The adult fungus presents a very different 

 appearance, and might readily be mistaken for a distinct 

 species. Stem spongy, at length hollow, 4 in. long, equally 

 attenuated from the base, veil not conspicuoxis ; pileus ex- 

 panded, 4 in. across, glabrous, dark brown; gills 3-5 lines 

 broad, cinnamon-olive. (Fries.) 



Cortinarius (Dermo.) raphanoides. Fr. 



Pileus 1-2 in. across, campanulate then expanded, obtusely 

 umbonate, often undulated, silky-fibrillose, brownish-olive, 

 discoloured when mature, becoming tawny and glabrous; 

 flesh pallid, almost the colour of the pileus ; gills adnate, 

 slightly ventricose, scarcely crowded, somewhat olive, at 

 length cinnamon or subferruginous, edge paler; stem stuffed 

 2-3 in. long, equally attenuated upwards, rarely equal, 

 fibiillose, opaque, becoming pallid ; veil filamentous, pale 

 olive, spores somewhat pyriform, 8 x 5 p. 



Cortinarius (JDermocybe) raphanoides, Fries, Epicr., p. 290 ; 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 263 ; Cke., lllustr., pi. 833A. 



In birch, beech, and beech woods, &c. 



Smell strong of radishes. Taste acrid. Stem sometimes 

 elongated and twisted. (Fries.) 



Pileus 2 in. broad, when moist brownish -olive, when dry 

 yellowish-olive, convex at first, then expanded. Gills broad, 

 darker, adnate or emarginate. Stem 3 in. high, 4 lines 

 thick, subasceuding, fibrillose, villous at the base. (Fries.) 



Cortinarius (Dermo.) valgus. Fr. 

 Pileus about 3 in. across, very thin, disc fleshy, fragile, at 

 first convex, even, and pale olivaceous, then expanded,
