Spores elongate-pruniform, 12-14 m k. Q- Name acflpaf, burning coal. Dermocybe.

70. C. cinnamomeus Fr. Pileus i-io cent. (^-4 in.) broad, 

 somewhat cinnamon, fleshy, thin, obtuse, umbonate, silky or 

 squamulose, with innate yellowish fibrils, at length becoming 

 smooth. Stem stuffed then hollow, thin, equal, yellowish as well 

 as the flesh and veil. Gills adnate, broad, crowded, shining. 



There are innumerable forms sufficiently constant ; the essential marks 

 which are common to all are these: i) Pileus thin, when flattened obtusely 

 umbonate, silky with yellowish villous down, but when more fully grown often 

 becoming smooth and then bright cinnamon, but the colour is variously 

 changed. 2) Stem wholly equal, stuffed then hollow, yellowish, fibrillose with 

 the cortina, which is of the same colour. 3) Flesh scissile, yellowish. 4) Gills 

 adnate, crowded, thin, broad, always shining. 5) Spores dark ochraceous. 

 The colour of the gills varies blood-red, red cinnamon, saffron-tawny, golden, 

 light yellow, &c.

71. C. uliginosus Berk. Pileus not exceeding 5 cent. (2 in.) in 

 diameter, bright red-brown (almost brick -red}, campanulato- 

 conical, then expanded, very strongly umbonate, silky, sometimes 

 streaked ; flesh yellow-olive then cinnamon. Stem flexuous, 

 paler than the pileus. Gills distant, adnate, with a tooth, yellow 

 then olive, then cinnamon. 



Remarkable for its very strong, but scarcely acute umbo.

Name uligo, marshy ground. From its habitat. Berk. Out. p. 190. C. 

 Hbk. n. 521. S. Mycol. Scot. n. 479. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 371. 



72. C. orellanus Fr. Pileus orange-tawny, fleshy, obtusely 

 umbonate, villoso-squamulose or fibrillose, the flesh, which is 

 similar in colour to the pileus, reddening. Stem solid, firm, 

 somewhat equal, striato-fibrillose and, as well as the cortina, 

 tawny. Gills adfixed, broad, somewhat distant, at length opaque. 



It differs from C. cinnamomeus: i) stem solid, firmer, striato-fibrillose, and, 

 as well as the cortina, tawny; 2) the ground colour of the firmer pileus also 

 tawny, the fibrillose covering orange ; 3) the similar flesh reddening ; 4) gills 

 broader, firmer, and somewhat distant. C. cinnabarinus, with which it has 

 been confounded, is quite different in colours, and especially in that of the 

 stem being the same as the pileus, not yellowish.
