In swamps, amongst sphagnum. 



There is a slender form differing in the darker colour, 

 smaller, often naked pileus, and narrower gills, figured by 

 Fries, Icon., t. 129, f. 2. 



Tubaria pellucida. Bull. 



Pileus ^-f in. across, rather membranaceous, conical then 

 campanulate, umbonate, hygrophanous, cinnamon, silky and 

 squamulose towards the striate margin, pale when dry ; gills 

 broad behind and slightly decurrent, triangular, pale cinna- 

 mon ; stem 1 1 J in. long, scarcely 1 line thick, slightly

 Hdbk., p. 188. 



Amongst leaves, &c. 



Allied to Tubaria stagnina, but much shorter in the stem, 

 which is at first stuffed, then hollow. Although the pileus 

 is not depressed, the gills indicate the genus Tubaria.
