101 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



pallid above, but below tawny or bay ; pileus pallid, disc 

 darker and obtusely umbonate; margin somewhat striate, 

 and at length cracked. (Cooke.) 



Mycena Berkeley!. Mass. 



Pileus 1J-3 in. across, flesh up to | line thick in large 

 specimens ; campanulate then more or less expanded, slightly 

 umbonate, slightly and distantly striate up to the umbo, 

 hygrophanous, dingy brown, umbo darker, paler when dry ; 

 gills broadly sinuate behind and adnate with a decurrent 

 tooth, rather distant, ventricose, 2-3 lines broad, thin, tinged 

 purplish or flesh-colour ; stem 3|-5 in. long, 3-4 lines thick, 

 almost equal or slightly thickened below, dingy brown with 

 a purple tinge, more or less striate, hollow, flesh tinged 

 purple, ending in a long, tapering, rooting base ; spores 

 broadly elliptical, with an oblique ba>al apicul us, 5 X 3 5 p. ; 

 no cystidia seen. 



Agaricus (Mycena) excisus, Lasch; Cke., Illustr., p. 143 

 (pileus brighter in colour than in Berkeley's original 

 drawing). 



On trunks. (Hothorpe.) 



This is certainly not the Agaricus excisus of Lasch, neither 

 does it agree with any other described species. 



Pileus 3 in. across, stem 4 in. high, root 2 in. long. 

 Solitary or subcaespitose ; gills purplish, strongly cut out 

 behind. The fig. Bull., t. 518i, is more characteristic of the 

 specimens than that in Fries' Icones, taken from smaller 

 and probably more superficial specimens. (B. & Br.) 



Mycena cohaerens. Fr. 



Pileus about 1 in. across, flesh rather thin ; campanulate, 

 obtuse, even, glabrous, but soft to the touch and looking as 

 if it was rather velvety, cinnamon or tawny-umber, becom- 

 ing pale ; margin straight and pressed to the stem at first ; 

 gills almost free, rounded behind, distant, very broad r 

 usually connected by veins, white then pallid ; stem 4-5 in. 

 long, 2 in. thick, equal, even, glabrous, shining, bay up- 

 wards, the extreme apex often whitish, chestnut below, 

 hollow, very rigid, almost horny, fasciculately tufted at the 

 base and grown together with white down; spores 10 x 

 7-8 //.
