our plants is as follows:—Pileus up to 14 inch in diameter, 
very thin, translucent, pale greyish-brown, striate, sometimes 
somewhat rugose, umbilicate to infundibuliform. Gills moder- 
ately crowded, deeply decurrent, branching and anastomosing. 
Stem up to 21 inches high, tubular, and the hollow centre 
sometimes apparently communicating with the funnel-shaped 
cap, base slightly bulbous, of the same colour as the cap but 
browner below. Spores pear-shaped with a large vesicle, 
7 to 85x42to5 p. Under trees, sometimes on rotten wood.
