INOCYBE. 195 



so long as that species was defined by superficial characters, 

 hut readily known by the globose, coarsely warted, or star- 

 like spores ; the swollen base of the stem is also characteristic. 



Inocybe eutheles. B. & Br. 



Pileus 1-2 in. across, campanulate then expanded and un- 

 dulate, umbo prominent, shining, silky, rather squamulose, 

 fawn-coloured; gills broadly adnata,, about 1 line broad, 

 pallid, margin whitish, minutely toothed ; stem 2-3 in. long, 

 2 lines thick, equal, very slightly swoollen at the very base, 

 striate, fibrous, pallid, solid; spores elliptical, smooth, 10— 

 11 X 5 fi. 



Agaricus (Inocybe) eutheles. Berk. & Broome, Ann. Nat. 

 Hist., 1866, pi. viii. fig. 2 ; Cke., lUustr., pi. 386. 



On the ground among fir leaves, &c. 



Smell of meal. Superficially resembling several other 

 species of Inocybe, from which it is distinguished by the 

 following combined features : —prominent umbo", broadly 

 adnate narrow gills, and smooth, elliptical spores. 



Smell farinaceous, rather disagreeable ; spores even, sub- 

 elliptic, "00029 in. long. It differs from A. fastigiatas in the 

 adnate gills, smooth, not rough spores ; and from A. Curreyi^ 

 with which it agrees as to the spores, in its strongly um- 

 bonate pileus, nearly equal stem, and adnate gills. (B. & Br.) 



Inocybe margaritispora. Berk. 



Pileus l|-2 in. across, campanulate then expanded, un- 

 dulating, broadly umbonate, silky, clad with adpressed 

 fibrillose scales, fawn-colour; gills adnexed, about 2 lines 

 broad, pallid ; stem 3-4 in. long, 3 lines thick, equal, fibril- 

 lose, pallid, solid ; spores subglobose ; coarsely wartred 

 8 jjL diam. 



Agaricus (Inocybe) margaritispora, Berk., MS. ; Cooke, Hdbk., 

 p. 157 ; Cooke, Illustr., pi. 505. 



On the ground. 



Eesembling I. eutheles, but usually rather larger, differing 

 principally in the warted subglobose spores. (Cooke.) 



In Cooke's figures the pileus is pale yellow-brown. Ep- 

 sembling I. asterospora in the spores, but differing in tho 

 longer stem and squamulose pileus.
