210 FUNGUS-FLOBA. 



broad, flesh-colour at first, but becoming pale when old and 

 whitish tan; margin thin, naked, involute. Flesh soft, 

 white, soon infested with maggots. Gills emarginate, 

 with a decurrent tooth, thin, crowded, whitish, colour not 

 changing. Among the tribe Gultata, where the species are 

 closely allied, and of which T. gambosum is typical, the present 

 species is remarkable for the flesh-coloured, unspotted pileus. 

 Most nearly allied to T. albellum, which however appeai-s 

 earlier in the season and differs in colour, &c. (Fries.) 



Tricholoma tigrinum. Schaeff. 



Pileus 1^-2 in. across, flesh thick at the disc, margin thin, 

 white; convex then expanding and often wavy, glabrous, 

 pale brown or greyish-white, with darker, crowded spots, 

 but not broken up ; gills rounded behind, crowded, narrow, 

 white ; stem about 1 in. long and nearly or quite as thick, 

 tumid, firm, white, pruinose, solid. 



Agaricus tigrinus, Schaeff., t. 89 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 38 ; Cke., 

 Illustr., pi. 64. 



In fir woods, &c. 



Stout, smell not remarkable, like fresh meal. Stem 1 in. 

 long and thick, very compact, solid, pruinose, white. Pileus 

 compactly fleshy, in my specimens convex then expanded, 

 obtuse, wavy, 2 in. broad, pale brown, variegated with 

 crowded, darker spots. Flesh thick, white, unchangeable, 

 thin towards the involute margin. Gills rounded behind, at 

 length with a decurrent tooth, crowded, narrow, white, at 

 length becoming dark. (Fries.) 



Odour foetid. (Cooke.) 



The pilens is sometimes whitish or with a tinge of grey, 

 and the t-pots almost black. Diners from T. guttatum in the 

 pileus not being broken up, and the margin even. 



Tricholoma pes-caprae. Fr. 



Pileus fleshy at the disc, the rest thin, conical then 

 expanded, umbonate, unequal, 1-2 in. across when young, 

 entire; expanded when adult, and then 3-4 in. across, 

 cracked, greyish-brown, variegated, margin thin, naked; 

 gills emarginate, up to \ in. broad, at length distant, white 

 then greyish ; stem solid, about 3 in. long, scarcely \ in.' 

 thick, equal or attenuated downwards, naked, white spores 

 elliptical, 8 x 5 /*.
