 no. 120; Cke., Hdbk., p. 97; Cke., Illustr., pi. 24lB. 



On naked ground. 



Somewhat resembles 0. umbellifera and 0. rusticn. but dis- 

 tinguished from both by the pileus not being striate when 

 moist. 



Omphalia stellata. Fr. 



White. Pileus up to in. across, truly membranaceous, 

 convex, umbilieate, pellucidly striate, glabrous; gills de- 

 current, rather distant, distinct, thin, not triangular ; stem 

 usually less than 1 in. long, very slender, fragile, stuffed then 

 hollow, often curved, base dilated and radiately stiigose or 

 hairy; spores elliptical, 6-7 x 4 p.. 



Agaricus (Omphalia) stellalus, Fries, Syst. Myc., i. p. 163; 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 97 ; Cke., Illustr., p. 241c. 



On rotten trunks, wood, &c. 



Gregarious. Allied to 0. integrella, but distinguished by 

 the broader gills. Distinguished from Omphalia umbellifera 

 by being more slender, pileus generally excentric, and 

 general form.
