Cortinarius (Hydrocybe) tortuosus, Fr. Hym. Fur. 389. 
Pileus rather fleshy, convex, somewhat gibbous, smooth, even, 
shining, ferruginous-bay (brick-red when dry). Stem rather 
hollow, rigid, equal, somewhat twisted, silvery. Gills adnate, 
crowded, quite entire, fulvous, becoming purple when wounded. — 
CooTce Ulus. t. 857. 
In damp pine woods. Scarborough. 
Distinctive by becoming purple when bruised. 
Cortinarius (Hydrocybe) unimodus, Britzelmeyer Hym. Sudb. IV., 
/. 131. 
Pileus campanulate then expanded, rufous brown, smooth, 
margin straight. Stem equal, fibrous, of the same tint. Gills 
distant, brown. Spores 10-12 x 8 fx. — Cooke Illus. t. 859. 
In grassy places. Carlisle. (Dr. Carlyle.) 
Pileus 4-5 cm. Stem 8 cm. long, 6-7 mm. thick. The diagnoses 
by Britzelmeyer are so meagre that his species can only be con- 
jectured. 
Cortinarius (Hydrocybe) bicolor, Cooke. 
Pileus rather fleshy, campanulate, then expanded, broadly, or 
occasionally rather acutely umbonate (1-2 in. diam.), somewhat 
fragile, dingy whitish, with an occasional tinge of lilac, even, 
smooth, silky, shining, flesh thin, colour of the pileus, or paler. 
Stem equal, or attenuated downwards (about 2 in. long, £ in. 
thick), pallid violet, becoming whitish, solid. Flesh bright 
purplish-violet at the base, pallid above. Gills adnate, with a 
tooth, sub-ventricose, slightly eroded at the edge, rather broad, 
scarcely crowded, purplish violet, then cinnamon. Spores elliptical, 
a little attenuated towards one or both ends, 10 x 5-6 fx. Veil 
fugacious, white . — Cooke Illus. t. 871. 
On the ground in mixed woods. Park End, Forest of Dean, 
near Carlisle ; Blaize Castle woods, near Bristol. 
To this species evidently belong the specimens figured in 
“Illustrations,” pi. 820, f. B., under the name of C. quadricolor , 
from which species it differs considerably. 
Paxillus (Lepista) lividus, Cooke Illus. t. 861. 
Pileus convex, at length slightly depressed at the disc, dingy 
white, or livid ochraceous, opaque (1-2 inches). Stem attenuated 
downwards, white (3-4 in. long, J in. thick), fibrillose, stuffed, then 
hollow. Gills arcuate, decurrent, white, almost crowded. Spores 
globose, nearly white, flesh nearly white. 
In woods. Leigh Down, Bristol. (C. Bucknall.) 
Paxillus (Lepista) revolutus, Cooke. 
Pileus convex, obtuse, pale ochraceous, slightly darker at the 
disc, margin thin, even, sometimes at first tinged with violet, a little 
revolute. Stem solid, gradually attenuated downwards, paler than 
the pileus, often tinted violet at the base. Gills very decurrent, 
scarcely crowded, pallid, then clay-coloured. Odour mealy . — Cooke
