cate cottony fibres. In full-grown specimens there is only a slight 

 mark showing where the edge of the pileus rested. It is allied 

 to the veil-less species from the Himalayas. The name is intended 

 to record the services which have been rendered to Mycologj- by 

 many excellent illustrations and in other ways by Ceciha E. 

 Berkeley.

Under vew trees. Apethorpe, Norths., Sept. 1852. East 

 Bergholt, Suffolk. 



Pileus 2-4 inches across, at first campanulate obtuse, at length 

 expanded, often depressed and umbonate, hispid, with minute 

 velvety fuliginous scales, but sometimes entirely fuliginous without 

 any distinct scales. Stem 2-3 inches high, \-^ inch or more 

 thick, attenuated above, bulbous below, white, silky or floccoso- 

 squamose, stuffed with cottony threads; ring firm, erect and 

 detiexed, more or less moveable beneath, frequently clothed with 

 dingy granules ; gills truly remote, ventricose, rather broad ; 

 spores elliptic, •0003 inch long, flesh tolerably compact. The 

 whole plant when wounded assumes a rich red tint. 



A splendid Agaric resembling some forms of A. clypeolarius, 

 but more robust. In some specimens the surface is decidedly 

 scaly, in others simply velvety. The margin often projects 

 beyond the gills and is delicately silky and fimbriated. The 

 stem, though bulbous, is by no means marginate. Smell rather 

 disagreeable. 



*A. mellens, Vahl. A ringless form of this species occurs in 

 Suffolk and Northamptonshire.

668. A. (Tricholoma) acerbtis, Bull. t. 571. fig. 2. In woods. 

 East Bergholt, Rev. Dr. Badham. A very fine species, remark- 

 able for its bitter taste and involute sulcate margin.

 species apparently occurs at Tibet, on the river Shavuk, at 

 Sassar, not far from the Karakoram Pass, at a height of' 16,000
