132 FUNGUS-FLOEA. 



{B.) Minor. Stem 1^ in. long, about 1 line tliick, pul- 

 verulent, glabrous and thinner downwards, outside and 

 inside colour of tbe pileus, not rufescent. Pileus convex 

 ■then plane, 1 in. across. (Fries.) 



CoUybia conigena. Pers. 

 PUeus |-1 in. across, flesh thin, rather firm ; convex; then 

 almost plane, somewhat umbonate, unequal, often angular, 

 also depressed, glabrous, yellowish brick-red, becoming pale 

 -and sometimes almost white, margin slightly striate when 

 moist ; gills slightly adnexed, soon free, crowded, rather 

 narrow, pallid ; stem 1-3 in. long, very slender, car- 

 tilaginous, tough, coloured like the pileus, covered every- 

 where at first with white flooculent powder, at length almost 

 naked, terminating in a strigose, rooting base, spores broadly 

 -elliptical, 4r-5 x 3 ju. 



Agaricus conigenus, Pers., Syn., p. 388 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 67 ; 

 ■Cke., lUustr., pi. 130. 



In pine woods, growing on cones and among pine leaves. 

 Usually gregarious. Known from C. tenacella and G. esculenta 

 by the free, closely crowded, narrow gills. G. cirrliata differs 

 in the adnate gills. 



Gregarious. Pileus 1 in. or more broad, rather irregular, 

 Timbonate, expanded, often depressed, sometimes quite smooth, 

 but occasionally more or less lanato-pubescent ; sometimes 

 tittged with chocolate, but generally ochraceo-rufous ; pale 

 when dry, and then occasionally zoned, flesh woolly when 

 ■dry, firm when moist. Gills very numerous, linear, free or 

 only adnexed, tinged with yellow, or of the colour of the 

 pileus, the unequal ones very long. Spores white, globose. 

 Stem very vaiious in height, ^-l^- lines thick, tough, pul- 

 verulento-pubescent with a long very strigose rooting base, 

 rufous, hollow, the inside woolly. Certainly a very distinct 

 species from the last (A. tenacellus). I do not find any pro- 

 cesses on the gills. It must not be confounded with A. con- 

 Jluens. (Berk.) 



Collybia cirrhata. Pr. 



Pileus Tip to ^ in. across, flesh thin ; conico-convex then 



plane, the disc at length umbilioately depressed, rufescent, 



often with a central papilla, rather silky, at length very 



..^lightly and often concentrically rivulose, opaque, white;
