rooting, compressed, filled with yelloM- juice; gills adnate, 

 dirty-M-hite, at length yellowish. — Sow, t. 385./. 4. 



On stumps of beech. This also depends upon Sowerhy's 

 figure. No one else seems to have observed it. The yellowish 

 gills and pileus are distinctive.

 ous, campanulate, somewhat striate ; stem slender, fibrillose 

 and rooting below, filled with w hite milk ; gills attenuated 

 behind_, white, then glaucous. (Plate 6, fig. 2.) 



Amongst leaves, under trees. Generally diffused, but sel- 

 dom abundant. Pileus brownish or cinereous, sometimes 

 white. "VA'hen withered, the w'hite milk is occasionally Avant-

 adnate, with a decurrent tooth. — Sotv. i. 92. 



Amongst fern-leaves, etc., in woods. Extremely common.

 Cinereous. Resembling A. gakriculatus rather than the last. 



154. A. (Mycena) vulgaris, P.; pileus convex, then de- 

 pressed, viscid; stem tough, rooting, fibrillose at the base, 

 cinereous ; gills decurrent, thin, white. (Plate 6, fig. 4.) 



On plantations, especially of larch. Sometimes very abun- 

 dant. The viscid cinereous pileus, tough stem, and decurrent
