AGARICINI. 113 



tened out, at length depressed and revolutc, hygrophanous, 

 finely streaked with little dose-pressed sooty fibres ; margin 

 slightly striate; stem rather hollow, elastic, fibrillose; gills 

 adnate, rather distant, becoming pallid, at length stained with 

 red. 



In meadows. Mossburnford, near Jedburgh, A. Jerdon, 

 Esq. Pileus honey-coloured ; gills mealy with the spores. 

 Specimens sent from Scotland exactly accord with a figure 

 forwarded to me by Fries. 



95. A. (Clitocybe) bellus, P. ; pileus rather fleshy, con- 

 vex, then depressed, dull-orange, sprinkled with minute darker 

 scales; stem stuffed, equal, tough, rivulose, dull yellow, as 

 well as the rather distant adnate gills, which are connected by 

 veins, at length reddish-brown. 



In fir plantations. East ISIorden, Dorsetshire. Pileus 2h 

 inches broad, deep orange-brown, becoming gradually pale. 

 Gills incarnato-ferruginous. Stem 2^ inches high. Fries's 

 plant has dirty-yellow gills, and so far differs from mine. It 

 is at once distinguished from A. laccatits by its fetid smell. 



93. A. (Clitocybe) laccatus, Scop. ; pileus convex, then 

 mostly umbilicate, variable in form, hygrophanous, mealy, 

 subsquamulose ; stem stuffed, equal, tough, fibrous, bright- 

 coloured, as well as the thick, broad, distant gills. (Plate 5, 

 fig. ^.)—Grev. t. 249; Huss. i. t. 47. 



In woods, etc. Extremely common. Varying much in 

 size, colour, etc. Sometimes of a bright amethyst-blue, more 

 frequently of a reddish-brown or grey (Sow. t. 187), some- 

 times yellowish. Spores globose : a very uncommon character 

 amongst Agarics. Bolton, t. 41, f. A, is at present doubtful, 

 but its peculiar habitat, on the perpendicular sides of turf- 

 pits, must some day make it easy to recognize.
