 nulate, then conical, tomentose, plicate; stem fistulose, pale- 

 cinnamon; gills few, narrow. — Ann. of Nat. Hist. Oct. 1859. 



In gardens. King's Cliffe, July 2, 1859. Spores narrow, 

 subcymbiform, -^-^-^ inch long. I received this originally from 

 New England. The diiference between it and the last as 

 regards the spores is very striking.

 branaceous at the margin, at length sulcate ; disc darker, 

 somewhat depressed ; stem attenuated, yellowish; ring fuga- 

 cious, at first flocculose; gills somewhat adnatc, livid-yellow, 

 then brown.— 5o/^. t. 1J9. 



On dung. Pileus yellow, turning pale. Spores brownish. 

 I am not acquainted with this species. 



2. B. fragilis, Fr. ; pileus subraembranaceous, viscid, pel- 

 lucid; margin striate; disc subumbonate; stem attenuated, 

 naked, smooth, yellow; gills attenuato-adnexed, yellow, then
