CILIATUS. Very close to brumalis but lighter color and more 

 slender and grows often attached to buried sticks. It is rare in 

 Europe. 



LEPIDEUS. Close to brumalis but of a different color, pale 

 yellowish, fuliginous. Very rare in Europe, known only on birch. 



SCABRICEPS. Known from one specimen at Kew from Cuba. 

 Close to brumalis but has more scabrous pileus. Still it is not well 

 named. 



GUARANITICUS. Close to brumalis as to shape and size. 

 Close to lepideus as to color, but the pores are small and round. 



VERNALIS. Close to brumalis but more slender and yellmvMi. 

 Rare in Europe and only known to me from the figure by (Juelet. 



UMBILICATUS. Close to brumalis but more smooth and r'ujid. 

 Known from the type at Kew from India. I have also a specimen 

 from India from Rev. Theissen. 



c. COLOR YELLOW OR REDDISH RROWX. 



FUSCIDULUS. Rare, and the only collection known is in 

 Cooke's herbarium and was collected in England. Figured by Bolton 

 (t. 170). When fresh seems to have white flesh and yellow pores. 



PECKIANUS. Pileus thin, infundibuliform. with a central stem. 

 Pale yellow when fresh as are the small pores. Grows in the ground, 

 hence might be sought in Ovinus. but is too thin for that section.
