 lemon-yellow, but often darker at the disc, membranaceous, cam- 

 panulate then hemispherical and flattened, but not umbilicato- 

 depressed, striate, scarcely viscous. Stem 2.5 cent, (i in.) long, 

 fistulose, y/2/0r;;2, smooth, viscid in wet weather at least, lemon- 

 yellow, villous at the base, but scarcely rooting. Gills uncinate, 

 alternate, distant, moderately broad, shining white.

310. A. plicato-crenatus Fr. Pileus 6 mm. (3 lin.) broad, but 

 higher, white then becoming light yellow, very thin, conical, 

 somewhat umbonate, remarkably sulcato-plicate and crenate, with- 

 out a separable pellicle. Stem 4 cent. (i l / 2 in.) long, filiform, 

 obsoletely or scarcely fistulose from its thinness, pallid reddish, 

 internally becoming light yellow, smooth, viscid. Gills ascend- 

 ing, narrow and attenuated behind, adnate, with a small decur- 

 rent tooth, distant, white. 



Allied to the very protean A. epipterygius , but thinner, so that the pileus is 

 deeply plicate like that of Marasmius rotula, and the margin remarkably cre- 

 nate. In its very thin plicato-crenate pileus it approaches A. roridus.
