DERMINI. 247 



flesh thin, white, scissile, the texture of the stem lax and soft, inocybe. 

 Stem 7.5-10 cent. (3-4 in.) long, 12 mm. (% in.) and more thick, 

 solid, stout, fleshy-fibrous, but not rigid, equal or rather attenu- 

 ated at both ends, silky-fibrous or flocculose, somewhat naked 

 however at the apex, pallid. Gills free, ventricose, crowded, 

 rather thick, yellow then olivaceous. 



The gills are conspicuously broader than those of A, fibrosits. Stem com- 

 monly curved or ascending. Fragile, gregarious, even caespitose, almost in- 

 odorous. Stature exactly that of Hygrophorus puniceus. It has been con- 

 founded with A. pyriodorus. A form has occurred with the stem very ventri- 

 cose, 4 cent, (i^ in.) thick. 



In woods. Uncommon. June-Sept.

548. A. hiulcus Fr. Pileus 2.5-5 cent. (1-2 in.) broad, fus- 

 cous, becoming olive, slightly fleshy, at first conical, then expand- 

 ed, the more fleshy umbo prominent, everywhere adpressedly 

 squaimiloso-fibrillose, cracked. Stem 5-7.5 cent. (2-3 in.) long, 

 4-6 mm. (2-3 lin.) thick, stuffed, slightly firm> equal (or with a 

 small bulb at the base), adpressedly fibrillose, squamuloso-mealy at 

 the apex, becoming pale, rufescent when touched, and internally 

 white then reddish. Gills somewhat free, with a decurrent line 

 on the stem, but soon ventricose behind, 4 mm. (2 lin.) broad, 

 thick, somewhat distant, at length plane, slightly rigid, white-flesh 

 colour, darker at the base, when full grown olivaceous-brown. 



The pileus is cracked, but not so incised as in A. rimosus, &c. Stem some- 

 what curved. From the form of the gills there is a channel round the stem. 

 Odour obsolete. 



In pine woods. Uncommon. Aug.-Sept.

549. A. Curreyi Berk. Pileus convex, expanded, longitudin- 

 ally fibrous, slightly cracked, not umbonate. Stem straight, 

 attenuated upwards, finely fibrillose. Gills free, yellowish, then 

 brownish-olive. 



Closely resembling A.fastigiatus, but by no means umbonate. The stem 

 is dark, and the spores, which are subcymbiform, perfectly even.
