Agaricus psammocepJialus, BuUiard, Champ., t. 531, fig. 2 

 (inside tawny, not white as in the fig.). 



In pine woods, &c. 



Stem about 1 in. long, apex naked, even, ring not distinct, 

 but evidently a Telamonia. Pileus about 1 in. across ; gills 

 dark, sometimes with a decurrent tooth. (Fries.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) iliopodius. Fr. 



Pileus 1-2 in. across, rather fleshy, conical, then expanded, 

 rather umbonate, at first silky-fibrillose, almost glabrous 

 w^hen mature, cinnamon, tan-colour when dry ; gills adnate, 

 rather crowded, thin, cinnamon; stem sometimes short and 

 equal, commonly elongated to 3-4 in., flexuous, equal, elastic, 

 tawny, sheathed to the middle with the white, silky veil 

 which terminates above in a ring, naked and fibrilloso-striate 

 above the ring, yellowish-cinnamon inside ; spores, 7-8 X 4 /*. 



Cortinarius (^Telamonia) iliopodius, Fries, Monogr., ii. p. 88 ; 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 272; Cke., Illustr., pi. 839b. 



In woods. 



Stem sometimes short, at otters elongated and flexuous, 

 not attenuated at the base, at length brownish. Pileus 

 opaque, 1-2^ in. broad, sometimes brownish, obtuse. Very 

 variable, and some of the forms difficult to define. (Fries.) 



Pileus f in. broad, at first conic, with the silky veil 

 attached to the margin, then convex, rather acutely umbo- 

 nate, the umbo cinnamon, then brownish changing to 

 ochraceous, subcarnose, silky especially on the margin, whicli 

 is peUucid when moist. Gills at first pale, changing to dark- 

 cinnamon. Stem 2 in. or more high, scarce 1 line thick, 

 rufescent, pruinose or sericeo-squamulose, moderately tough, 

 at length hollow. My specimens described above are smaller 

 than the more usual state, approaching in this respect A. 

 cucumis, now removed to the tribe Galera. Taste not acrid. 

 Gills moderately broad. According to Fries, the pileus is 

 from ^1 in. broad. Stem 2-4 in. high. Taste approaching 

 to that of radishes. (Berk.) 



Cortinarius (Tela.) incisus. Fr. 



Pileus i-J in. across, slightly fleshy, conico-convex then 

 expanded, umbonate, naked, soon innately fibriUose or
