116. C. uraceus Fr. Pileus 2.5-5 cent. (1-2 in.) broad, when 

 moist umber or brown, sometimes inclining to olive, somewhat 

 shining, when dry (when young brick-colour) commonly tan or 

 isabelline, slightly fleshy, conical then campanulate, then expanded 

 and umbonate or obtuse, when moist even, smooth, when dry at 

 length somewhat fibrillose ; flesh fuscous, darker in the stem. 

 Stem 5-10 cent. (2-4 in.) long, 4-8 mm. (2-4 lin.) thick, slightly- 

 tubular, stuffed then hollow, cylindrical, exactly equal, firm,_/2#r//- 

 loso-striate (the striae paler), but becoming evn t fuscous, naked and 

 becoming pale at the apex, sometimes inclining to olive, at length 

 becoming wholly fuscous-black, internally of the same colour. 

 Cortina superior, fibrillose, fuscous, but rarely conspicuous. Gills 

 adnate, ventricose, firm, 6 mm. (3 lin.) and more broad, distant, 

 cinnamon-brown, the edge sometimes quite entire and of the same 

 colour, sometimes white and fimbriato-serrated. 



The slight margin of the pileus is incurved. There are variations which 

 cannot be noted.

117. C. jubarinus Fr. Pileus 4-7.5 cent. (i^-3 in -) broad, 

 splendidly tawny-cinnamon and shining, somewhat fleshy, cam- 

 panulato- flattened, obsoletely umbonate, when larger and old 

 depressed in the centre, often repand and undulated, at length 

 reflexed, fragile, even and smooth at the disc, when young silky 

 towards the margin with the veil, when old innately fibrillose 

 under a lens. Stem 5 cent. (2 in.) long, when larger 12 mm. (}4 

 in.), when smaller 4-6 mm. (2-3 lin.) thick, at first stuffed, then 

 hollow, fibrilloso-striate, externally and internally pale tawny, 

 paler at the base and (naked) apex. Gills adnate, somewhat dis- 

 tant, 2-6 mm. (1-3 lin.) broad, distinct, tawny-cinnamon, the edge 

 which is quite entire of the same colour. 



At first sight very like C. cinnamomeus, but differing in the fugacious, fibril- 

 lose, -white -veil. The pileus is not velvety-villous as in C. cinnamomeus. It 

 may also be confounded with C. incisus on account of its colours, but it differs 

 from that species in the surface being scarcely hygrophanous, always polished 

 and entire, although the pileus is rimoso-incised at the margin.
