Stem not truly fibrillose nor squannilose, in wliicli it

 pileus is sometimes paler, disc tan-colour, margin white, gills- 

 crisped, branched and anastomosing. (Fries.) 



Hebeloma nudipes. Tr. 



PUeus 2-3 in. across, flesh watery, thick at the disc, very

 expanded, obtuse, unequal, glabrous, viscid, tan-colour, 

 margin at first incurved, then expanded and ascending j 

 gills broadly emarginate, crowded, dry, not spotted, quite 

 entire, tan-colour; stem solid, entirely fibrillose, about 2i in.

In woods. 



SmeU weak, not unpleasant, rather mealy. 



Hebeloma nauseosum. Cooke. 



Pileus 1-1^ in. across, flesh thick at the centre, becoming 

 very thin at the margin, convex and gibbous, then more or 

 less expanded, even, smooth, viscid, ochrey-white ; gills 

 deeply sinuate, adnexed, very broad, ventricose, rather 

 distant, pallid then tan-colour, at length ferruginous ; stem 

 1^2 in. long, 3 lines thick, equal or slightly attenuated 

 below, whitish, mealy above, faintly striate downwards, and

On the ground in mixed woods. 



The odour is very strong and abominable, especially after 

 having been kept in a box for a night. (Cooke.) 



More slender than H. nudipes, its nearest ally, in the 

 broad gills and foetid smell. Smaller and more slender than 

 H. fastibile, and without a trace of a veil. H. miistulini- 

 forme differs from the present species in the flocculose stem.
