TKICHOLOMA. 207 



1 in. long, sometimes very short, 1-2 lines thick, apex 

 thickest, and narrowing towards the base, pale reddish-pink 

 becoming almost white, apex somewhat pruinose, tough and 

 fibrous almost cartilaginous, rigid, stuffed then hollow ; 

 spores 3 x 2 /i. 



Agaricus carneus, Bull., t. 533 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 37 ; Cke., 

 Illustr., pi. 96A. 



Among grass, by-paths in woods, &c. 



In general habit and stem structure agreeing with Collybia, 

 but placed here on account of its evident affinity with 

 T. paeonium and T. ionides. (Fries.) 



Tricholoma caelatum. Fr. 



Pileus up to 1 in. across, flesh thin ; convex but with the 

 centre depressed, not striate, glabrous and brown when 

 growing, but flocculose, cracked and pallid grey when dry ; 

 gills sinuate, adnate with a decurrent tooth, crowded, slightly 

 arcuate, dingy white or greyish ; stem up to 1 in, long, 

 1-1^ line thick, equal, or the apex slightly thickened, brown, 

 apex obsoletely pruinose, tough, elastic, but not cartilaginous, 

 stuffed in small specimens, often hollow when large ; spores 

 elliptical, 8 x 5 /x.. 



Agaricus (Tricholoma) caelatum, Fries, Epicr., p. 42 ; Cke., 

 Hdbk., p. 37 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 96u. 



On the ground, especially scorched places. 



A very peculiar species, entire habit remarkable, and not 

 to be compared with any other species of Tricholoma. From 

 the constantly umbilicate pileus, at first sight resembling an 

 Omphalia, but the stem is not at all cartilaginous, and the 

 gills evidently sinuate behind. Somewhat agreeing with 

 Tricholoma putidum in colour and stature, but in this species 

 the pileus is umbonate, smell strong of new meal, and 

 other points of difference. There are certain affinities with 

 certain species of Clitocybe, as C. hirneola and C. parilis, 

 with which the present species agrees in size, colour, and 

 the dingy white spores, but again, these differ widely in the 

 decurrent gills and many other points. (Fries.,)
