fulvo-spadiceo, velutino; stipite cavo, deorsum fusco-purpureo, nitido, sursum 



pallido subvelutino ; laraellis liberis, fulvo-velutinis. More or less tufted. 



Pileus three-quarters of an inch across, subcarnose, conico-hemispherical, of a 

 rich tawny brown, clothed with short, velvety pubescence, much wrinkled 



when dry. Stem two inches high, one line or more thick, tough, hollow, 



brownish-purple below, shaded off into vsdiite above, and clothed with scat- 

 tered short pubescence, downy and rather bulbous where it roots into the 



wood. Gills narrow, close, quite free, velvety, with tawny pubescence. 



An exquisite species, allied apparently to Agaricus longipes. The gills, as in 

 that species, are densely velvety. 



' The tubers, Mr. Lea observes, resemble the grains at the base of Dielytra 

 cucullata. 



^ Agaricus (Mtcesa) Leaianus : pileo convexo, uinbilicato, tenui, mar- 

 gine striato minutissime miniato-virgato, stipiteque longo deorsum tomentoso 

 strigosoque aurantiis viscosis; lamellis distantibus, ventricosis, postice sinu- 

 atis, adnexis, aurantiis, coccineo-marginatis. Berk, in Hook. Land. Journ. v. 4, p. 



300. Pileus rather more than half an inch across, convex urabilicate, 



orange, clothed with a viscid cuticle, smooth, wrinkled when dry; margin 

 striate and streaked with vermilion flocci ; stem two and a-half inches high, 

 scarce one line thick, orange, smooth and viscid above, with a few indistinct 

 darker specks, below clothed with matted tawny down and stigose flocci, 

 stringy, attached to dead leaves, &c., by a creeping, strigose orange mycelium. 

 Gills distinct, broad, ventricose, remarkably sinuated behind, adnexed, orange, 



with a vermilion margin. Allied to Ag. pelianihinus. The pileus when 



dry has somewhat the appearance of jlg. palmatus in consequence of its viscid 

 cuticle. It must be highly beautiful when fresh.
