204 FUNGUS-FLOBA, 



In mixed woods. 



Agreeing in many points of structure, and in the strong 

 smell, with T. sulphureum and T. inamoenum, but differing 

 from both in the crowded gills, and in colour. 



Odour of gas tar. (Berk.) 



Far. robustus, Cke., Hdbk., p. 36 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 217. 



More robust than the type. Pileus almost white, silky, 

 not viscid ; scarcely any perceptible odour. 



Pileus 2| in. broad, convex, at length depressed, firm, 

 fleshy, under the lens minutely adpresso-silky, margin at 

 first involute; flesh white. Gills white, when young 

 arcuato-adnate, nearly horizontal, when old sub-decurrent, 

 very brittle, closer than in the last, but still not very close. 

 Stem firm, solid, composed of fibres, more or less fibrillose 

 or fibrillose squamose, the fibrillae curved up from below ; 

 paler than the pileus, rooting, downy at the base, not 

 bulbose, apex pruinose. Odour in all respects like the last 

 (A. sulpJiureus\ only not quite so strong. (Berk.) 



Tricholoma inamoenum. Fr. 



Foetid. Pileus 1-2J in. across, flesh thin but firm, pure 

 white ; convex then expanded, rather umbonate, very dry, 

 slightly silky then even, dingy white; gills variously 

 adfixed, normally emarginate with a decurrent tooth, but 

 sometimes truly adnato-decurrent, plane, rather thick, very 

 broad and very distant, distinct, pure white; stem 3-4 in. 

 long, 3-6 lines thick, equal, almost glabrous, white, solid,, 

 firm, often rooting and downy when growing among moss ; 

 spores 9-10 x 6-7. 



Agaricus (Tricholoma) inamoenus, Fries, Epicr., p. 44; Cke., 

 Hdbk., p. 36; Cke., Illustr., pi. 77. 



In pine woods, &c. 



Our only white Tricholoma with a strong smell. The 

 smell is something like that of T. sulfureum, but stronger 

 and more disagreeable. 



Pileus 1-3 in. broad, convex, with or without an umbo r 

 fleshy, but not very thick on the margin, under the lens 

 adpresso-silky ; white with a slight tinge of ochre in the 

 centre. Gills broad (|-f of an in.), distant, emarginate. 

 Stem 2 in. or more long, 3-6 lines thick, equal, tough, com- 

 posed of fibres, not rooting in my specimens. Odour like
