76. LEPISTA (Fries) W. G. Sm. Clavis Agar. 26. 1870. 
Putrescent, solitary or gregarious: pileus large, fleshy: 
lamellae easily separable from the pileus, adnexed: spores 
sordid-white: veil none: stipe central, stout, fleshy, without 
a cortex. 
Type, 7richoloma nudum (Bull.). (Syll. 5: 131.) 
The species supposed to constitute this genus must be 
looked for under Zrécholoma in the Sylloge. The validity 
of the genus and the value of so-called easily separable lam- 
ellae as a generic character can only be determined by care- 
ful histological studies. At present the status of this genus 
must be considered as doubtful. 
77. PAXILLUS Fries, Gen. Hymen. 8. 1836. 
Putrescent, solitary or gregarious: pileus fleshy, often 
somewhat irregular: lamellae easily separable from the 
pileus, adnate or decurrent: spores sordid or ochraceous: 
veil none: stipe central or somewhat eccentric, fleshy, no 
cortex. 
Type, P. znvolutus (Batsch) Fries. (Syll. 5: 987.) 
This includes only the central-stemmed or slightly eccen- 
tric species of the Sy//oge. Those that are lateral or resupi- 
nate must be sought under 7apzuza (Fries) Karst. 
78. PHYLLOPORUS Qué. Fl. Myc. 409. 1888. 
(See Bres. Fung. Trid. 2: 95. 1900, for synonymy.) 
Putrescent, solitary: pileus thick, fleshy, convex, tomen- 
tose: lamellae concrete with the pileus, long-decurrent, 
anastomosing at base: spores ochraceous, elongated: stipe 
central, fleshy, no cortex. 
Type, Gomphidius rhodoxanthus (Schw.). (Syll.5: 1139.) 
This genus is well marked by the tomentose, Bo/etus-like 
pileus and the elongated, Gomphidius-like spores. So far as 
known it is monotypic. 
79. GYMNOCYBE Karst. Hattsv. 412. 18479. 
Putrescent, solitary or cespitose: pileus fleshy, dry, often 
squamulose, not striate: lamellae adnate-decurrent, not anas-
