144: FUNGUS-FLORA. 



bright-coloured pileus. Mycena acicula differs in the yellow 

 gills and larger spores, also in the rooting stem. 



Pileus ^4 lines broad, campanulate, generally umbonate, 

 margin striate, under a powerful lens most minutely pilose, 

 bright orauge, the umbo darkest, subcarnose, within deep 

 orange. Gills few, somewhat ventricose, adnexed or adnate, 

 with shorter ones between them, white tinged with yellow. 

 Stem about 1 in. long, quite filiform, flexuous, nearly equal, 

 minutely pilose like the pileus, pale yellow with a line 

 within showing it to be fistulose. When growing on sticks 

 there are a few minute strigae at the base. (Berk.) 



Collybia ocellata. Fr. 



Pileus about \ in. across, flesh thin ; couico-convex then 

 plane ; disc depressed and darker, brown, rufous, yellowish, 

 with a small paler umbo; even whitish, margin usually 

 crenulate ; gills adnate, at length separating from the stem, 

 closely crowded, alternate ones shorter, white; stem 1-1 J in. 

 long, very slender, equal, tough, glabrous, naked, brownish- 

 white or yellowish, base slightly rooting, fibrillose, minutely 

 fistulose.

Among grass in pine woods, &c. 



Dry, persistent. Distinguished from C. cirrliata by the 

 glabrous stem. 



Collybia muscigena. Schum. 



Pure white. Pileus 1-3 lines across, almost mem- 

 branaceous ; convex then plane, obtuse, even ; gills adnate, 

 rather crowded, linear ; stem about 1 in. long, very slender, 

 equal, wavy, glabrous.

Among moss near trunks, &c. 



Eeadily distinguished in the present genus by its pure 

 white colour and very small size. Known from the small 

 white species of Mycena by the broadly adnate gills and 

 even pileus.
