tenacious fibres arise from the stipe, which serve to fasten it more 
thoroughly to the under-layer. The length of the stipe is as much as 
mm.; in transverse section it amounts to about 22 mm. As in the 
other species so also in A. calyculus, the stipe bears at certain distances 
whorls of hairs, which consist of 10-14 hairs arranged in a whorl ; 
these are as a whole 2-4 mm. long and 4-5 times polytomously branched, 
whereby a hair at times bears at the upper end 3-4 new hair-like shoots. 
hey are very perishable, so that in specimens with developed pileus or 
dise generally only one whorl of hairs is found immediately under the 
is¢, rarely an older whorl is found lower down. - 
_ “At the point of attachment of the hairs, the considerably 
thickened wall of the stipe is interrupted by a dot, from which it 
35 u, but it decreases to 1 mm. The number of the rays amounts to 
25-30; their breadth at the margin 350-450 p, in the centre about ed ps.
