122 AGARIC ACE^: Togaria 



truly distinct from the fleshy stem, except in 564, although in the 

 majority of cases it is nearly so. Pileus fleshy. Stem central, 

 fleshy, annulate. Gills adnato-decurrent, adnate, adnexed, or rounded- 

 free. Spores ferruginous. (Fig. 31.) 



All the species grow on the ground. 



Togaria agrees in nearly all points of structure and habit with 

 Lepiota, Annularia and Psalliota. 



In 564 the gills are normally rounded-free, and in several other 

 species the gills are frequently adnexed. In Lepiota one species 

 47 has adnate gills and several others have approximate gills ; in 

 Psalliota several species have approximate gills. Species 557 566
