flavo fuscis, adnato-decurrentibus. Pileustwoand three inches across, soli- 

 tary or tufted, when young convex, purple, soon expanding and flat, v^ith a 

 broad fleshy umbo, very viscid, varying from light yellow to buff, with the 

 umbo brownish yellow or purple; stem one and one and a half inch high, 

 two lines thick, hard and somewhat woody, nearly equal, brownish-yellow, at 

 first furfuraceous; veil fugitive, consisting of purple and yellow flocci; gills 

 at first dirty white, then brownish purple, at length yellow-brown, broad, rather 

 distant, adnate, slightly decurrent, but easily breaking away from the stem. — 

 Frequently eaten by large larvse, and then, with the exception of the woody 



stem, turning into a viscid mass. This beautiful species is evidently allied 



to Ag. Harmoge, but differs essentially in the nature of the gills. 



' Ag. (Galera) mdcidolens : olidus, pileo pluteiformi, lobato, glabro, ni- ■ 

 tido, viscido, fuligineo; stipite fibrilloso ; lamellis liberis. Berk, in Hook. Lond. 



Journ. v. iv., p. 301. Pileus two to three inches broad, of a dull smoky 



brown, viscid; stem two inches or more high, clothed with brownish fibres; 

 gills free ; spores dull, ferruginous, broadly subcymbiform, with a small nucleus. 

 Smell like that of decayed cheese. Allied to Agaricus reticulatus, but differ- 

 ing in several points, and especially in its dull ferruginous, not croceo-ferrugi- 

 nous spores. 



" Ag. (Chepidottjs) crocophtlltjs : pileo sessili, subflabilliformi, ochraceo- 



fusco, adpresse squamoso ; lamellis aurantiis. Pileus scarce half an inch 



long, flabelliform, convex, ochraceous-brown, clothed with minute adpressed 

 scales; stem none; gills rather broad, rounded behind, bright buff; spores 



subglobose, pale ochre-yellow. 1 do not know any species with which to 



compare this. Agaricus croceo-lamdlatus is, I believe, the same with Paxillus 

 Pamioides. The only resemblance, however, is in the color of the gills. It is 

 perhaps most like Agaricus mollis, but besides the color of the gills the spores 

 are smaller and of a different form. It is not, I believe, resupinate in any 

 stage of growth.
