HYPORHODII. 197 



Inodorous. The disc is darker as in Leptonice. The gills are reddish with Entoloma. 

 the spores (never becoming purple). 



In old pasture. Glamis, 1874. Oct. 



Name resutus, ripped open, unstitched. From its longitudinally fibril- 

 lose appearance. Fr. Monogr. \. p. 273. Hym. Eur. p. 193. Icon. t. 92.

432. A. griseo-cyaneus Fr. Pileus 2.5 cent, (i in.) broad, 

 grey or inclining to lilac, not hygrophanous, slightly fleshy, cam- 

 panulate then convex, obtuse, never depressed, wholly floccoso- 

 scaly. Stem 4 cent. (i}4 in.) long, 4-6 mm. (2-3 lin.) thick, in 

 no wise cartilaginous, but wholly fibrous, hollow, externally floc- 

 coso-fibrillose, pallid then becoming azure-blue, sometimes wholly 

 white. Gills adnexed, separating- free, ventricose, whitish then 

 flesh-colour. 



White when young. In habit and colours it approaches the Leptonice and 

 often grows along with these, but it is wholly soft, and sufficiently distinct 

 from its fibrous stem. 



In pastures and open woods. Rare. Oct. 



Spores irregular, full of angles, 8-10 mk. K. Nzmzgriseus, grey ; cyaneus, 

 dark blue. Fr. Monogr. i. /. 274. Hym. Eur. p. 193. Icon. t. 94. f. i.

433. A. sericellus Fr. Pileus 12 mm. ( l / 2 in.) or little more 

 broad, white or becoming yellow-white, somewhat fleshy, convex 

 then plane, obtuse, and at length depressed, often unequal, dry, 

 even, silky, at length becoming smooth, but often squamulose, 

 the margin, which is at the first inflexed, floccose ; flesh thin, 

 white, continuous. Stem 2.5-5 cent. (1-2 in.) long, 2 mm. (i lin.) 

 thick, somewhat fistulose, waxy rather than fibrous, equal, fibril- 

 lose, white then becoming pale, at length somewhat polished, 

 smooth. Gills at first adnate, even decurrent with a tooth, then 

 separating and somewhat emarginate, very broad, slightly dis- 

 tant, white then flesh-colour. 



Gregarious, small, thin, inodorous, changeable in its characters, but not in 

 its habit. Most distinct and not allied to any other. A. sericeus Pers. 

 (not Bull.) differs in its larger stature, its somewhat bulbous stem, its campan- 

 ulate pileus, and crowded gills. 



In woods, and grassy banks. Frequent. July-Oct. 



According to Berkeley the stem is never fistulose, but I have found it some- 

 what fistulose as described by Fries. Spores irregular, full of angles, hyaline, 

 8-10 or lo-n x8 mk. K. Name sericeus, silky. Slightly silky. Fr. Monogr.
