TRICHOLOMA. 187 



drawn our attention to this figure, at the same time stating 

 his conviction that the original specimens were those of an 

 undoubted Tricholoma, the pink tinge of the spores being 

 faint and quite of a different character to the spores in 

 Hyporhodii. Whatever, therefore, the plant of Berkeley and 

 Broome may be, to which they attach the name of A. 

 frumentaceus, and include in the submenus Entoloma, it cannot 

 be the species figured as above, since Dr. Keith must have 

 had ample material to judge, and no one would doubt his 

 ability to form an authoritative opinion. Plate 470 must, 

 therefore be corrected to Ag. (Tricholoma) frumentaceus, Bull. 

 We may add that the majority of Continental mycologists 

 contend that Bulliard's species is a Tricholoma, and both the 

 size and form of the spores given in our plate certainly are 

 more in accordance with those usually found in Tricholoma 

 than those of Entoloma. (Cke.) 



On the ground under a hedge. Somewhat, caespitose; 

 pilt-us 3| in. across, plane, with the margin arched and 

 sinuated, dry, buff, tinged with red, marked with fine 

 streaks, which are sometimt s slightly raised, fleshy, firm, 

 rather brittle. Stem 2 in. high, 1 in. thick, of the same 

 colour as the pileus, streaked and slightly cracked, some- 

 times compressed, blunt at the base, with a little white 

 down stained with the spores. Gills broad, moderately 

 distant, sinuated and toothe<1, rounded behind, sometimes 

 emarginate, adnate, cinereon-, with a reddish yellow tinge; 

 spores elliptic, minute, '0002 in. long, rose-coloured. Taste 

 agreeable ; smell farinaceous with a slight taint of amadou. 

 This is undoubtedly the plant of Bulliard, which is not 

 described by him as viscid. The spores are decidedly rose- 

 coloured and not white. (Berk.) 



Entirely pallid then white, but, stem and pileus stained 

 with rufous, the gills at length becoming rufescent, and the 

 strong smell, resembling new meal, point to an undoubted 

 affinity with T. pessundatum. Stem solid, 3 in. lng, \ in. 

 thick, equal, dry, fibrillose, whitish. Pileus truly fleshy, but 

 less compact than in T. pessundatum, convex then plane, 

 obtuse, 2-3 in. broad ; viscid, dry in very dry weather, even, 

 glabrous, whitish or tan-colour, and variegated with rufous. 

 Flesh white. Gills rounded, somewhat crowded, rather 

 broad, white, at length spotted with rufous. (Fries.)
