 then plane, becoming plicate and more or less angular, 

 whitish with a tawny tinge ; gills adnate, narrow, distant, 

 paler than the pileus ; stem 1-1| in. long, slender, thickened

Marasmius angulatus, Pers., Myc. Eur., iii. p. 155, t, 26,

 On grass, rushes, &c. 



Closely resembling M. Curreyi, and M. graminum ; differs 

 from the former in the gills not being ventricose, and in 

 not forming a collar; and from the latter in the larger, 

 elliptical spores, and in the gills being attached to a free 

 collar round the stem. M. calopus differs in the shining, bay 

 stem, and emarginate gills. 



Marasmius languidus. Fr. 



Pileus -f in. across, thin, tough, at first convex with 

 the margin involute, then more expanded and umbilicate, 

 flocculose, rugosely grooved, white with a tinge of flesh-

On twigs, dead grass, leaves, &c. 



Small, gregarious, tough, pliant, inodorous; remarkable 

 for the decurrent gills. (Fries.) 



Inodorous. Exactly the habit of a small Omphalia, pileus, 

 convex, umbilicate, margin coarsely sulcate ; stem thickened 

 upwards. 



Marasmius rubricatus. Mass. 



Caespitose; pileus about ^ in. across, convex then plane, 

 whitish then tinged with red or buff, gills adnexed, white 

 then brownish, stem ^-j. in. long, slender, incurved at the
