 Huss. i. t. G6. 



In woods and on their borders. Not uneommon, often 

 forming rings. Pileus white, tan-coloured, etc. A. subin- 

 volutus, Batseh, is a thicker, firmer, less funnel-shaped form, 

 with the margin generally grooved, and the surface spotted 

 from rain or dew. It is very good when dressed, and is ge- 

 nerally found near fir-trees. Bolton's t. 22, with distant gills, 

 is very doubtful,

 convex, then funnel-shaped, smooth ; margin thin, involute ; 

 stem stuffed, thin, hollow, rather rigid, smooth ; flesh pallid ; 

 gills decurrent, unbranched, pallid, at length of the same 

 colour as the pileus. — Sow. t. 186. 



In fir-woods. "Not common. Pileus 2 inches across, not 

 flaccid like the next ; brownish-red at first, then tan-coloured. 

 Often caespitose. Sowerby's plant is unusually lobed.

 fleshy, flaccid, umbilicate, then funnel-shaped, even ; stem 

 stuffed, unequal, rather flexuous, villous at the base ; gills de- 

 current, crowded, arched, yellowish. — Sow. t. 185. 



In fir-woods. Not uncommon. Often densely ctespitose, 

 and very handsome. Pileus bright in colour, sometimes 

 streaked, flaccid when young. 



** JPileus hygrophanous. 



89. A. (Clitocybe) eyathiformis, Fr. ; pileus thin, de-
