412 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



Agaricus subalutaccus, Batsch, f. 194; Cke., Hdbk., p. 48. 



Under trees. 



Stature of C. venustissima, but firmer and the stem longer. 

 Pileus becoming pale. Smell weak, resembling aniseed, or 

 obsolete. (Fries.) 



**** Pileus greenish or pallid. 



Clitocybe odora. Sow. 



Fragrant. Pileus about 2 in. across, flesh rather thick, 

 tough ; soon plane and wavy, even, smooth, pale dingy green, 

 silky when dry ; gills adnate, rather close, broad, greenish 

 or pallid ; stem about 1-H in. long, 2 lines thick, base in- 

 crassated, elastic, stuffed ; spores elliptical, 6-8 x 4-5 //,. 



Agaricus odorus, Sowerby, t. 42 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 48 ; Cke., 

 Illustr., pi. 101. 



In woods. 



Eeadily distinguished by the strong, aniseed smell, dingy 

 bluish-green pileus, and the pallid or greenish gills. 



Sometimes somewhat caespitose. Tough; size variable, 

 colour varies between pale green and aeruginous-grey, 

 usually all coloured alike, but the gills are sometimes white ; 

 smell pleasant, spicy, especially when dry. (Fries.) 



We consider A. viridis, Withering, to be the same species, 

 although Fries regards them as distinct. (Cooke.) 



Clitocybe Trogii. Fr. 



Smell very fragrant, spicy. Pileus about 2 in. across, 

 flesh rather thick at the disc, becoming thin towards the 

 margin, convex then expanded, obtuse, glabrous, minutely 

 silky, uniform greyish-white, dull and opaque ; gills slightly 

 decurrent, crowded, about 1^ line broad, whitish; stem 

 about 1 in. long, 2-3 lines thick, almost equal, whitish, base 

 downy, solid. 



Agaricus (Clitocybe} Trogii, Fries, Epicr., p. 59; Cke., 

 Hdbk., p. 48 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 102. 



Among leaves. 



Agreeing with C. odora, in the fragrant, spicy smell, but 

 known by the dingy pale grey, not green pileus, and the 

 stouter build of the entire fungus.
