On the ground, among twigs, &c. 



Somewhat resembling M. pura, but distinguished by the 

 absence of a radishy smeU. The stem often has a lilac 

 tinge. M. pseudopura differs in the stem being glabrous at 

 all ages and in the margin of the pileus being very indistinctly 

 striate. 



Mycena pseudopura. Cooke. 



Pileus about 1 in. across, flesh thin; campanulate then 

 convex, and at length expanded, obtusely umbunate, smooth, 

 margin obscurely striate, rosy then pale ; gills adiiate, 

 narrow, whitish ; stem 2-3 in. high, 1 line thick, rigid, 

 straight, even, naked, at first rosy-white, becoming brown 

 when dry, hollow ; spores elliptical, 2 x 5 /jl; smell none.

In woods. 



Pileus scarcely exceeding an inch, rosy, then pale ; stem 

 2-3 in. long, slender, erect, hollow, turning dark brown in 

 drying ; spores conspicuously larger and longer than in 

 H. pura. (Cooke.) 



-IT. zephira is close to the present species, but difiFeis in the 

 more strongly striate pileus, and in the stem being covereil 

 with w^hitish squamules w^hen young. 21. pura is distin- 

 guished by the radish-like smell. Gills with an indibiiiict 

 decurrent tooth.
