gills ; stem stuffed, pale, villoso-pulvcnilent ; gills rounded, 

 with a decurrent tooth, crowded, ventricose, dirty white.

 Eng. n. The pileus is often pulverulent, and varies much in 

 colour, according to its condition ; stem 2 inches high, 2 lines 

 thick, brown within at the base. Frequently a very pretty 

 species, perhaps too closely allied to A. brevipes. Klotzsch's 

 figure, Fl. Regn. Bor. t. 374, seems just intermediate.

 at first convex, even, Avith an innate white pruinose lustre; 

 margin iuflexed ; stem solid, equal, smooth, somewhat striate ; 

 gills rounded, without any tooth, crowded, white. — Huss. ii.
