CUTOOYBE. 429 



coloured like the pileus, solid; spores subglobose or very 

 broadly elliptical, 4—5 /i. 



Agariciis gilvus, Persoon, Syn., p. 448; Cke., Hdbk., p. 55 ; 

 Cke., lUustr., pi. 136. 



In pine woods. &c. 



Distingnished by the ochraceous colour of every part, 

 also the flesh. A stouter plant than G. splendens ; C. in- 

 fersus differs in the rufescent gills, and C. fiaccidus in the 

 thin, flaccid, infuadibnliform pileus, and the subflexuous, 

 longer stem. 



Clitocybe splendens. Pers. 



Solitary. Pileus 2-3 in. across, flesh rather thick, white ; 

 plane then depressed or infundibuliform, glabrous, shining, 

 yellowish; gills deeply decurrent, narrow, crowded, simple, 

 white ; stem about 1 in. long, 3 lines thick, glabrous, 

 coloured like the pileus, solid, slightly thickened at the 

 base or equal. 



Agaricus splendens, Persoon, Syn., p. 452 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 

 56 ; Cke., lUustr., pi. lOtt (small form). 



In woods, among pine leaves, &c. 



Stem solid, 1^2 in. long, 4—5 lines thick, sometimes equal 

 and straight, at others thinner at the base and ascending, 

 €ven, glabrous, coloured like the pileus. Pileus slightly 

 fleshy, thin especially towards the shortly reflexed margin, 

 piano-depressed, and at length infundibuliform, 3 in. across, 

 even, glabrous, shining, gilvous then yellowish. In some 

 specimens the pileus is excentric, and the greater part of the 

 margin wavy. Gills deeply decurrent, thin, crowded (but 

 less so than in C. gih-a'), simple, white, but with a yellow 

 tinge when old. 



Intermediate between C. gilva and C.flaccida. The typical 

 form of C. gilviis differs in the compact pileus, often with 

 drop-like markings, the very much crowded, somewhat 

 branched, pale ochraceous gOls and flesh. (Fries.) 



Clitocybe inversus. Scop. 



Pileus 2-3 in. across, flesh thin ; fragile ; convex, soon 



infundibuliform, margin involute, glabrous, even, rufescent 



or dull brownish-orange, gills decurrent, simple, pallid then 



rufescent ; stem about 1 J in. long, 2 lines thick, glabrous,
