In woods, &c. 



Distinguished among allies by its small size, and regularity 

 of form. Stem stuffed, tough, fibrous, 1^ in. long, 1^2 lines 

 thick, equal, or attenuated, towards the base, round, glabrous 

 but not polished, white, base downy. Disc of pileus fleshy, 

 the remainder thin, convex then flattened, at length de- 

 pressed round the gibbous disc, 1-2 in. across, absolutely dry, 

 entirely white, properly glabrous, but somewhat silky from 

 the agglutinated veil, as in C. rivulosa ; at length the surface 

 slightly broken up and downy. Flesh white. Gills hori- 

 zontal, entirely adnate, with a decurrent tooth, plane, very 

 crowded, 1 line or more broad. (Fries.) 



Clitocybe candicans. Pers. 



Entirely white. Pileus about 1 in. across, flesh thin, 

 convex then plane or slightly depressed, umbilicate, regular 

 or slightly eccentric, even, with an adpressed silkiness, 

 shining, shining white when dry; gills adnate then slightly 

 decurrent, crowded, very thin, narrow, straight ; stem 1-2 

 in. long, 1-2 Hues thick, even, glabrous, cartilaginous, 

 polished, equal, hollow, base incurved, rooting, downy; 

 spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, 5-6 x 4 p..

 pi. 82 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 50. 



Among damp fallen leaves, &c. 



Entirely white, small, rather tough ; approaching Om- 

 phalia in the structure of the stem. The following form is 

 described by Fries as occurring in pine woods. 



Stem thin, flexuous, base glabrous; pileus plane, not 

 umbilicate, naked (without silky down). Gills scarcely de- 

 current. 



A remarkable form but scarcely to be separated as a 

 species. (Fries.) 



Clitocybe dealbata. Sow. 



Pileus 11^ in. across, flesh thin, dry, white, tough ; 

 convex then plane, at length upturned and wavy, always
