90 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



Gills obtuse in front, shortly adnate, white, margin of the 

 same colour. (B. & Br.) 



Differs from M. haematopa r in the margin of the pileus 

 being quite entire, and not slightly toothed, and from 

 M. sanguinolenta in the margin of the gills not being darker 

 than the remainder. 



Mycena haematopa. Pers. 



Tufted. Pileus about 1 in. across, flesh rather thin ; cam- 

 panulate, obtuse, striate (Fries says pileus even), margin 

 minutely toothed; reddish disc daiker and with a purple 

 tinge; gills adnate, about f 1 line broad, entirely whitish ; 

 stem about 2 in. long, 1 line thick, rather thicker at the 

 base, paler than the pileus, covered with white pulverulent 

 down, containing dark blood-red juice.

On trunks and stumps. 



The denticulate margin of the pileus and entirely white 

 gills readily distinguish the present among species con- 

 taining a red juice. 



Tufted. Pileus moist, campanulate, then expanded, reddish, 

 with a ^ tinge of purple, |-l in. or more across, striate, 

 very minutely rivulose; stem pale rufous flesh-colour, at 

 first thickened at the base, then nearly equal, farinaceous ; 

 gills distant, adnato-decurrent, white; edge red; interstices 

 even. Everywhere distilling, when broken, a dark-red juice. 

 Far larger than any form of M. sanquinolenta or M. cruenta.

 rounded behind, ventricose, distant, yellow, margin whitish;
