42G FUNGUS-FLORA. 



not being hygrophanous, flesh snow white, and gills shining 

 white. 



The rather distant gills, which are connected by veins, 

 and infundibuliform pilous, distinguish this species, which i.s 

 not hygrophanous. (B. and Br.) 



Clitocybe incilis. Fr. 



Pileus about 2 in. across, flesh thin, plane and umbilicate, 

 then infundibuliform, even, silky-flocculose, appearing almost 

 glabrous when young, obtuse, almost brick-red colour, the 

 incurved margin crenate ; gills more or less decurrent, ar- 

 cuate 2-3 lines broad, distant, connected by veins, white then 

 pallid, but not yellow; stem generally about i in. long, 2-3 

 lines thick, or more when compressed, usually thinner down- 

 wards, brick-red, at first with a very delicate mealy down, 

 fibrous, tough, unequal, hollow ; spores elliptical, 7 X 4 p.

On the ground in woods, &c. 



A variable species, sometimes with a mealy smell, some- 

 times without smell. 



Clitocybe sinopica. Fr. 



Smell strong, resembling new meal. Pileus about 1 in. 

 across, flesh thin, soon plane and slightly depressed, umbili- 

 cate, dry, at first glabrous then flocculose, dry, brick-red then 

 becoming pale ; gills slightly decurrent, very much crowded, 

 rather broad, white then yellowish ; stem J 2 in. long, I. 1 , 

 line thick, equal, rather fibrillose, coloured like the pileus, 

 stuffed. 



Agaricus {Clitocybe^) sinopicus, Fries, Syst. Myc., i. p. 83 ; 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 366 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 647. 



In woods, chiefly on scorched places. 



Small, appearing in spring or summer. Easily distin- 

 guished by the strong smell of new mral. Varies slightly or 

 deeply umbilicate. Pileus at first red, appearing even and 

 glabrous, then evidently flocculose and becoming pale. 



Allied to C. incilis, which differs in the hollow stem, mar- 

 gin of pileus incurved and slightly crenate, and the slightly 

 tlecurrenl, distant gills connected by veins. (Fries.)
