then pale brown, granulated -with floceose scales ; flesh thin 

 except at the disc; gills emarginate, ventricose, somewhat 

 crowded, yellowish cinnamon ; stem about 3 in. long, -J in. 

 or more thick at the apex, incrassated downwards, clad with 

 brown scales up to above the middle, apex smooth, paler than 

 the rest ; spores obliquely elliptical, 7 x 5 p..

In woods. 



Closely allied to C. phrygianus, but in the latter the 

 squamules of the pileus and stem are blackish, and the smell 

 is strong, resembling radishes. Like the last-named, the 

 present species has an olive tinge when young. Difficult to 

 distinguish from a discoloured form of (7. pholideus, but in 

 the present species the gills are never violet. 



Cortinarius (Ino.) penicillatus. Fr. 



Pileus 1-1 1 iu. across, convex, obtusely umbonate, dry, 

 densely floccoso-squamose, rusty-brown, the innate scales 

 darker, tawny when dry ; flesh very thin, same colour ; gills 

 separating from the stem, plane, rather crowded, 3 lines 

 broad, obscure brown ; stem 2-3 in. long. 2-3 lines thick, 

 equal, fragile, furnished with concentric, rusty-brown, ad- 

 pressed squamules almost up to the apex, paler than the 

 pileus, palest and adpressedly silky at the very apex, stuffed ; 

 spores pip-shaped, minutely granular, 8-9 X 5 /.

In pine woods, &c. 



Placed hero on account of the innately squamulose pileus 

 and affinity with preceding species, but the size is quite that 

 of the Dermocybese. (Fries.)
