erect, flexible, hollow ; spores subglobose, warted, dirty- 

 pink, 7-8 p, diameter ; no cystidia. 



Agaricus (Entoloma) liquescens, Cke., Hdbk., p. 121 ; Cke., 

 Illustr., pi. 581. 



On the ground under trees. 



A very peculiar species, readily distinguished by the 

 dingy lilac gills, and subglobose, warted, rosy spores. The 

 gills deliquesce at maturity like those of Coprinus. 



Entoloma ameides. B. & Br. 



Pileus 1-2 in. across, flesh thin, broadly campanula te, 

 often irregular, disc smooth, with whitish flocculent fibrils, 

 soon becoming glabrous and having a silky lustre, undu- 

 lating, the margin often splitting, pallid reddish-grey ; gills 

 deeply rounded behind and slightly adnexed, distant, rugu- 

 lose, 2 lines broad, pale salmon-colour; stem about 1| in. 

 long, 2-3 lines thick, solid, whitish, fibrillosely striate above, 

 downy at the base, apex flocculose, often compressed ; spores 

 subglobose, coarsely warted, 10 p. diameter ; no cystidia. 



Agaricus (Entoloma) ameides, B. & Br., Ann. Nat. Hist., n. 

 999 (1865); Cke., Hdbk., p. 121 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 341. 



In pastures. 



Pileus 1-2^ in. across, varying from hemispherical in 

 smaller specimens to campanulate, thin, pale reddish- grey ; 

 spores rose-coloured, irregular. Large specimens at first 

 sight closely resemble Hygrophorus ovinus. Smell peculiar, 

 resembling a mixture of orange-flower water and starch. 

 The whole plant acquires a reddish tint in drying. (Berk.)

Entoloma Saundersii. Fr. 



Pileus 2-3 in. across, flesh white, thick at the disc 

 and gradually becoming thin towards the margin, cam- 

 panulate then expanded, the more or less lobed margin often 

 upturned, adpressedly tomentose, white, brownish when old ; 

 gills sinuate and slightly adnexed, 3-4 lines broad, distant,
