 then black-pulverulent with the shed spores. Gills adnate, as- 

 cending, crowded, varying grey and black.

 whitish. There is a very small variety. The stem in both forms is often 

 sprinkled with small watery drops in rainy weather. 



On dung and rich ground. Common. June-Nov.

767. A. papilionaceus Fr. Pileus pallid, slightly fleshy, 

 hemispherical, smooth, rimoso-scaly when dry. Stem equal, 

 even, whitish, white-pulverulent at the apex. Gills broadly 

 adnate, very broad, at length plane, blackish. 



It is certainly distinct from A. campanulalus, to which it is very much 

 allied, in the following ; stature in general smaller and firmer, stem even and 

 whitish, even and -white-pulverulent at Hie apex ; pileus hemispherical (not 

 campanulate), almost that of A. semiglobatus, commonly rimoso-scaly when 

 dry, dry, pallid ; gills broadly adnate, 6-8 mm. (3-4 lin.) broad (often broader 

 than long), plane. In a very small form the stem is 2.5 cent, (i in.) long, but 

 the pileus is equally broad, in which it differs from the very small form of A. 

 campanulatus. 



On dung, &c. Common. July-Nov.
