A very curious and beautiful little species, allied to A. vatricosus. Stature 

 that of A. geophyllus. 



In pine wood. Rannoch, 1875. O ct -

 hairs, fringed at the margin with strigose hairs, viscid when 

 moist, shining when dry; flesh thin, white. Stem 2.5-7.5 cent. 

 (1-3 in.) long, 2-4 mm. (1-2 lin.) thick, stuffed, thin, slightly 

 attenuated upwards, whitish, fibroso-scaly at the apex. Gills 

 decurrent, thin, scarcely 2 mm. (i lin.) broad, crowded, becoming

In mixed woods. Herts., 1882, &c. 



Formerly referred by Fries to Flammula. Spores sphaeroid, echinulate, 4 

 mk. K. Name from subgenus Tricholoma. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 236. Monogr.

Hebeloma. Subgenus XXL HEBELOMA (%fa, youth ; x^a, a fringe). 



Fr. Syst. Myc. i. p. 249. The partial veil fibrillose or obsolete. 

 Stem fleshy, fibrous, clothed, some- 

 what mealy at the apex. Margin of 

 the pileus at first incurved. Gills 

 sinuato-adnate, edge more or less of a 

 different colour, whitish. Cuticle of 

 the pileus continuous, smooth, some- 

 what viscid. Spores somewhat clay- 

 coloured. Growing on the ground, 

 strong-smelling, very much suspected, 

 certain of them poisonous. Fr. Hym. 

 Eur. p. 237. 



Hebeloma corresponds with Trich- 

 oloma. The pileus is never fibrillose, 

 and the veil is heterogeneous from the 



xxin. Agaricu S (Hebelom<t)fa S - pellicle. The species appear early in 

 tibiiis. One-third natural size, autumn and last late. None are edible.
