In moist woods, &c. 



Slender ; pileus somewhat umbonate, never depressed nor 

 pelliculose, ferruginous, ochraceous-tan and without striae 

 when dry. (Fries.) 



Somewhat resembling N. pediades, but distinguished by 

 the pileus being striate at the margin when moist, and also 

 an being umbonate. 



Naucoria latissima. Cooke. 



Pileus -l in. across, subglobose then hemispherical, 

 with a fleshy disc, margin at first incurved, deep chestnut- 

 brown ; gills adnexed, rounded behind, ^ in. and more across,

Agaricus (Naucoria) latissima, Cke., Hdbk., p. 180; Cke., 

 Illustr., pi. 482. 



Amongst grass. 



Allied to N. arvalis in the rooting stem, but known by the 

 margin of the pileus being incurved at first, and the smooth 

 (not powdered) stem. Also resembling N. glandiformis in 

 the colour of the pileus and the very broad gills, but dis- 

 tinguished by the tapering, rooting stem.
