HYPORHODII. 217 



Among short grass. Aber, 1867, &c. Sept. Nolanea. 



Name verecundus, modest. Fr. Monogr. \. p. 298. Hym. Eur. p. 210. 

 Icon. t. 99. f. 5. B. &> Br. n. 1228. C. Illust. PL 340. a. 



478. A. coelestinus Fr. Pileus 4 cent. (i> in.) broad, dark 

 azure-blue, streaked, not hygrophanous, campanulate, then convex, 

 obtuse, the rugged disc darker or blackish, striate, lax. Stem 4 

 cent. (\y 2 in.) long, scarcely 2 mm. (i lin.) thick, somewhat fistu- 

 lose, attenuated upwards, white pruinate at the apex, otherwise 

 even and smooth, azure-blue-black. Gills adnate, ventricose, 

 very broad, hoary-white, edge of the same colour. 



Spores slightly rosy. Remarkable. Its colour is the common colour of the 

 Leptonice, but its stature is wholly that of the Nolanece.

Subgenus XVII. ECCILIA. Fr. Syst. Myc. i. p. 207 excluding Ecciiia. 

 certain species. Stem cartilaginous, tubular (the tube hollow or 

 stuffed), expanded upwards into the pileus, which is somewhat 

 membranaceous and at the first inflexed at the margin. Gills 

 attenuated behind, truly decurrent (becoming more so when the 

 pileus is depressed, and not separating as those of the species of 

 the former subgenus do). Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 211. 



Ecciiia corresponds with Omphalia.
