101< OUTLINES OF BRITISH FUNGOLOGY. 



** Moist or watery (hygroplianoiis). Veil, if jyresent, fugitive, 

 pulverulent. 



GO. A. (Tricholoma) gambosus, Fr. ; pilcus very thick and 

 fleshy, at first convex, obtuse, at length undulated, moist, 

 smooth, spotted, at length cracked ; margin involute, at first 

 flocculose, as well as the tip of the stout solid stem; gills 

 emarginatc, with a little adnexed tooth, crowded, ventricose, 

 yellowish-white. (Plate 4, fig. 5.) — Soiv. t. 281 ; Hiiss. i. 

 t. 83. 



In pastures. May, June. Pileus white, or slightly tinged 

 with ochre. Growing in rings. Eatable, and much approved by 

 many. Varying considerably in size. Smell strong, like that 

 of Folyporus squumosus. Sowerby's A. yraveolens is this spe- 

 cies, as appears from his private notes. The true A. Georgii. 



61. A. (Tricholoma) monstrosus, Sow. ; pileus fleshy, at 

 first c(mvex and umbonate, at length waved and lobed, opaque 

 as if whitewashed ; margin iuflexed ; stem compressed, solid,* 

 streaked, opaque M'hite, tomentoso-squamulose above, slightly 

 rooting; gills moderately distant, scarcely rounded behind, 

 but not truly decurrent, cream-coloured. — Sow. t. 283. 



On the ground. Jedburgh, A. Jerdon, Esq. Near Nor- 

 wich, Soiv. Often densely caspitose, and then not com- 

 pressed. This cannot be A. hoi-ealis, Fr., as the pileus is 

 always white. In Sowerby's figure it should be observed that 

 the gills are represented as distinctly rounded. Probably es- 

 culent. 



62. A. (Tricholoma) albellus, DC. ; pileus smooth, at 

 first conical, moist, spotted after the fashion of scales; disc 

 compact, subunibonatc ; margin thin ; stem solid, ovato-bid- 

 bous, fibrilloso-striate; gills crowded, entire, white, attenuated 

 behind and adnexed, without any tooth, broader in front. — 

 Sow. t. 122.
