The typical character differs manifestly from Naucorise, but Gaiera. 



in one or two species of the Naucorise the margin is scarcely 



distinctly incurved, though from the 



habit and other marks these may be 



reckoned among the Naucoriae, such 



as A. cncumis, cidaris, and badipes. 



Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 266. 



Gaiera corresponds with Mycena and 

 Nolanea. Spores ochrey-ferruginous. 

 Mostly autumnal, and growing on the 

 ground. 



* Conocephali (KWI/O?, cone ; Ke^aArj, head). 

 Pileus conico - campanulate, hygrophanous, 

 rather even, -when dry dotted with soft par- 

 ticles ; stem tense and straight ; gills ascend- 

 ing, inserted in the top of the cone, somewhat 

 crowded. Veil none. 



* Bryogeni (ppvov, moss; yevea., birth). 

 Pileus membranaceous, campanulate, striate, 

 smooth, hygrophanous, even when dry, opaque, 

 very slightly silky ; stem thin, lax, Jlexile ; 



gills broadly and planely adnate, broad, somewhat denticulate. Slender, grow- 

 ing among moss, cortina very fugacious. 



*** Eriodermei (epiov, wool ; Sep/ua, skin). Pileus somewhat membranaceous, 

 veil manifest, superficial, separating, at the first (chiefly round the margin) 

 silky and squamulose. Compare Tubaria, A. paludosus, &c., with decurrent 

 gills. 



XXVII. Agaricits (Gaiera) tener, 

 One-third natural size. 



* CONOCEPHALI. Pileus conico-campanulate, &c. 



652. A. lateritius Fr. Pileus 2.5 cent, (i in.) \\\g\\, pale yellow- 

 ish when moist, ochraceous when dry, hygrophanous, membran- 

 aceous, acorn - shaped then campanulate, obtuse, even, smooth, 

 slightly and densely striate at the margin when moist. Stem 7.5 

 cent. (3 in.) and more long, 2 mm. (i lin.) thick, fistulose, atten- 

 uated upwards, tense and straight, even, but white -pruinose, 

 whitish. Gills adnexed in the top of the cone, hence appearing as 

 if free, ascending, very narrow, crowded, cinnamon. 



Gills almost adpressed to the stem, almost pendulous. Remarkably analo- 

 gous with A. ovalis, but easily distinguished by the linear gills and the 

 absence of a veil ; very fragile. 



In rich pastures. Rare. Sept.
