LEUCOSPORI. 6 1 



115. A. militaris Lasch. Pileus 10-17.5 cent. (4-7 in.) broad, Tricholoma. 

 cinnamon, at first gibbous, white floccose at the involute margin, 



then rather plane or depressed, compact, flexuous, rather smooth, 

 viscous, margin even. Stem n cent. (4^ in.) long, as much as 

 2.5 cent, (i in.) thick, solid, squamulose, fibrillose, pallid, some- 

 what bulbous at the base, with thick radical fibrils. Gills emar- 

 ginate, somewhat crowded, whitish, at length livid-spotted, torn. 



Odour and taste unpleasant. Commonly growing in rows or caespitose. 

 In woods. Glamis, 1874. Oct. 



Name miles, a soldier. From its finer appearance as contrasted with A. 

 civilis, as A. equestris is a knight among plebeians. Lasch n. 490. Fr. Hym. 

 Eur. -p. 71. B. &> Br. n. 1506. S. Mycol. Scot. n. 71. C. Illust. PL 169. 



116. A. civilis Fr. Pileus 7.5 cent (3 in.) broad, becoming 

 pale yellowish, not changing colour, disc darker, never streaked, 

 truly fleshy, very soft and fragile, convexo-plane, obtuse, even, 

 very smooth, moist, almost viscid, with a separable pellicle; flesh 

 spongy, whitish. Stem 5 cent. (2 in.) and more long, solid, in- 

 ternally soft, fragile, attenuated upwards from the thickened base, 



fibrillose or squamulose, whitish. Gills deeply emarginate, almost 

 free, crowded, 6 mm. (3 lin.) broad, very soft, white then becoming 

 yellow, or rather becoming pale, unspotted. 



Inodorous. Among the Tricholomata there is no species to which it is 

 rightly allied. The structure is wholly that of A. (Am.} lenticularis, so that at 

 first sight it might seem to be a ringless form of that species. 



On the ground. Epping. Oct. 



Fries notes that the gills are only accidentally spotted, i.e., when injured by 

 insects or otherwise. Name ci-vis, a citizen. Contrasted with A. militaris.

 convex and flattened, very obtuse, regular, at length also repand, 

 even, smooth, moist in rainy weather, opaque when dry, the mar- 

 gin, which exceeds the gills, at first involute and villoso-pruinose ; 

 flesh at first compact, then spongy-soft, whitish. Stem in the 

 typical form 5 cent. (2 in.) long, about 2.5 cent, (i in.) thick, solid, 

 firm, spongy within, almost of the same colour, more or less bul- 

 bous, becoming violet, wholly pulverulent with white villous down 

 when young then squamulose; often very short, and not bulbous. 

 Gills rounded then free, crowded, broad, violaceous then flesh- 

 coloured or whitish, or fuscous when old.
