260 FUNGUS-FLOEA. 



Fragile, inodorous. Stem cartilaginous, hollow, slender, 

 3 in. long, scarcely 1 line thick, equal, even, glabrous, 

 brown or black, at length livid-brown. Pileus entirely mem- 

 branaceous, conical then campanulate, cuspidate, not 1 in. 

 across, striate, hygrophanous, blackish and shining when 

 old. Gills ascending, adnexed, seceding, rather distant, grey 

 then rosy. Eemarkable for two distinct forms of pileus 

 being found growing mixed together, one being cuspidate, 

 the other umbilicate. The .>-ame thing is seen in Omplialia 

 campanella and 0. fibula. A third form has the gills greyish- 

 brown then purplish. (Fries.)

 broad, greyish with a flesh-coloured tinge ; stem about 2 in. 

 long, about 1 line thick, equal, clad with mealy squainules, 

 hollow, densely strigose at the base with reddish fibrils ;

 No. 1650; Cke., Hdbk., p. 134. 



On the ground (Maidstone). 



Eemarkable for the strigose base of the stem, the fibrils 

 being bright reddish-brown. The paper on which the speci- 

 mens are preserved is tinged bright rose-colour. 



Pileus f in. across, \ in. high ; stem 2 in. high, about 

 1 line thick, clothed at the base with rigid red hairs, and 

 tinted with the same colour above. Spores -0005 long, 

 •0003 broad. The peculiar character of the strigae separates 

 this from all other species. (B. & Br.) 



** Oills becoming yellowish or reddish. 



Nolanea pisciodora. Cesati. 



Pileus up to 1 in. across, flesh rather thick at the disc,
