174 OUTLINES OF BRITISH FUNGOLOGY. 



loso-squamosc ; gills adnate, plane, very broad behind, purple- 

 black. 



On the ground, in woods. Rare. Pileus livid, white when 

 dry. The gills in my specimens are 3 lines broad, and nearly 

 equal throughout, so that they must be considered as belong- 

 ing to a distinct variety. 



343. A. (Psathyra) gossypinus, Fr. ; pileus subniembra- 

 naceous, campanulato-expanded, tomentose, even, smooth ; 

 margin striate; stem tomentose, dirty-white; gills adnexed, 

 ventricose, white, then brown-black. — Bolt. t. 71. f. 1. 



In woods, on the ground. Rare. Pileus of a pallid ochre. 

 I believe A. xylophilus, Sow., which Fries refers to A. noli- 

 tangere, is merely a state of A. furfur aceus. 



Series 5. Cophinarius. — Spores black; gills never becoming 

 purple or brown. 



Subgenus 26. Pan^olus. — Veil, when present, interwoven. Pileus 

 rather fleshy, without stride ; margin at first extending beyoud 

 the gills, which are clouded. 



* Pileus viscid lolien moist, sliining lohen dry. 



344. A. (Pangeolus) separatus, L. ; pileus somewhat flesh}'^, 

 campanulate, obtuse, even, viscid; stem straight, shining, 

 white, thickened downwards, ring distant; gills fixed, cine- 

 reous-black. (Plate 11, fig. 7.) 



On dung. Extremely common. Pileus varying a good 

 deal in size, semiovatc, pale tan-coloured ; stem soiled with 

 the black spores. 



345. A. (Panseolus) flmiputris, Bull. ; pileus submembra- 

 naceous, conico-cxpanded, somewhat gibbous, even, viscid ; 

 stem slender, equal, smooth, pallid ; gills livid-black. (Plate 

 11, fig. G.)
