not being hygrophanous, fleBh snow white, and gills shining 

 ■white. 



The rather distant . gills, which are connected by veins, 

 and infundibuliform pilous, distinguish this species, which is 

 not hygrophanons. (B. and Br.) 



Clitocybe incilis. Fr. 



Pileiis about 2 in. across, flesh thin, plane and umbilicate, 

 then infundibuliform, even, silky-flocculose, appearing almost 

 glabrous when young, obtuse, aliuost brick-red colour, the 

 incurved margin crenate ; gills more or less decurrent, ar- 

 cuate 2-3 lilies broad, distant, connected by veins, white then 

 pallid, but not yellow ; stem generally about J in. long, 2-3 

 lines thick, or more when compressed, usually thinner down- 

 wards, brick-red, at fiist with a very delicate mealy down, 

 fibrous, tough, unequal, hollow ; spores elliptical, 7 X 4 /^i.

On the ground in woods, &c. 



A variable species, sometimes with a mealy smell, some- 

 times without smell. 



Clitocybe sinopica. Fr. 



Smell strong, resembling new meal. Pileus about 1 in. 

 across, flesh thin, soon plane and slightly depressed, umbili- 

 cate, dry, at first glabrous then flocculose, dry, brick-red then 

 becoming pale ; gills slightly decurrent, very much crowded, 

 rather broad, white then yellowish ; stem 1-2 in. long, \\ 

 line thick, equal, rather fibrillose, coloured like the pileus, 

 fitufiied. 



Agaricus (JJlitocijbe) sinopicus, Fries, Syst. Myc, i. p. 83 ; 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 360 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 647. 



In woods, chiefly on scurclied places. 



Small, appearing in spring or summer. Easily distin- 

 fiuisbed by the strong smell of new meal. Varies slightly or 

 deeply umbilicate. Pileus at first red, appearing even and 

 glalsrous, then evidently flocculose and becoming pale. 



Allied to C. incilis, which differs in the hollow stem, mar- 

 gin of pileus incurved and slightly crenate, and the slightly 

 decurreni, distant gills connected by veins. (Fries.)
