 Hdbk., p. 89 ; Cke., Illnstr., pi. 249b. 



On fir-cones, sticks, &c. 



Gregarious, pnre ■white. Pileus 1— l-J lines broad, verj' 

 delicate, frosted with, minute graimles. Stem 1 in. high, 

 scarce \ line thick, adhering by a minute pubescent disc, 

 which is not the least striate. (Berk.)

 minute granules. Gills distant unequal. Sporules white, 

 round. Stem 1 in. high. Scarce ^ oi a, line thick, flexuous

 which is not the least striate. (Berk.) 



Mycena stylobates. Pers. 



White. Pileus 2—3 lines across, verv" thin ; campanulate, 

 obtuse, striate, minutely hairy ; gills free, distinct, ventri-

On fern stems, twigs, &c. 



Distinguished by the smooth stem and large, flat, orbicular, 

 radiately striate disc. 



Pure white. Pileus 2 lines or more broad ; stem 1-2 in.
