Agaricus (Mycena) tenerrimus, Berk., Cutl., t. 6. f. 6 ; Cke., 

 Hdbk., p. 89 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 249B. 



On fir-cones, sticks, &c. 



Gregarious, pure white. Pile us 1-1 lines broad, very 

 delicate, frosted with minute granules. Stem 1 in. high, 

 scarce | line thick, adhering by a minute pubescent disc, 

 which is not the least striate. (Berk.)

 the striate disc. 



Gregarious, pure white. Pileus 1-1| line broad, very 

 delicate, tender and easily injured, not pilose but frosted 

 minute granules. Gills distant unequal. Sporules white, 

 round. Stem 1 in. high. Scarce ^ of a line thick, flexuous 

 fistulose, adhering by a minute but distant pubescent disc 

 which is not the least striate. (Berk.) 



Mycena stylobates. Pers. 



White. Pileus 2-3 lines across, very thin ; campanulate, 

 obtuse, striate, minutely hairy ; gills free, distinct, ventri- 

 cose ; stem 1-2 in. high, slender, equal, smooth, disc orbicular,

 p. 89 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 249A. 



On fern stems, twigs, &c. 



Distinguished by the smooth stem and large, flat, orbicular, 

 radiately striate disc. 



Pure white. Pileus 2 lines or more broad ; stem 1-2 in. 

 high, | line thick, rather thicker at the base, adhering by 

 a broad membranaceous, tomentose, radiato-striate disc. 

 (Berk.)

 or hemispherical, sometimes broadly and obtusely umbonate, 

 striate, with a round mark (in thinner specimens), in the 

 centre caused by the insertion of the stein, minutely pilose, 

 not granulose. Gills unequal, rounded, free. Stem 12 in. 

 high, | a line thick, rather thicker at the base, flexuous,
