* A. Orcella Bull. Pileus becoming yellow-white, fleshy, soft, 

 piano-depressed, at the first irregular, slightly silky, somewhat 

 viscid when moist. Stem curt, solid, flocculose, thickened upwards. 

 Gills deeply decurrent, crowded, whitish-flesh-colour. 



It differs from A. prunulus, but not in habit and structure. Commonly 

 smaller ; pileus thinner, often spotted and zoned, margin at length undulato- 

 lobed ; the softer flesh unchangeable. Stem often excentric. Gills more 

 crowded. Odour wholly that of A. prunulus ; growing in troops. 



In open grassy ground. Frequent. July-Oct. 



Its lobed and undulated pileus makes it resemble Cantharellus cibarius in 

 outline. Edible and delicate in flavour. Spores 9x4 mk. W. G.S. Bull. I.

445. A. mundulus Lasch. Pileus about 5 cent. (2 in.) broad, 

 becoming pale-white, then spotted cinereous, at length becoming 

 black, fleshy, thinj when young convex and somewhat gibbous 

 with an involute margm,floccoso-soft, soon flattened and depressed, 

 unequal, repand and often excentric, even or rivulose ; flesh soft, 

 white. Stem about 2.5 cent, (i in.) long, 4 mm. (2 lin.) thick, 

 stuffed, somewhat equal, floccoso-villous then becoming smooth, 

 white-villous at the base, at length becoming black internally. 

 Gills deeply decurrent, very crowded, narrow, thin, with many 

 shortened ones intermixed, pallid. 



Closely related to A. prunulus, but most evidently distinct. When young 

 slightly tough. Odour obsolete; taste bitter, by which it is well distinguished 

 from A. prunulus, &c. In var. nigrescens the whole flesh becomes black.
