evanescent ring), then convex, with an even margin, smooth, dull, 
hygrophanous, disc umber, becoming pallid at the margin, which 
extends slightly beyond the gills. Stem rather thick, enlarging 
downwards to a bulbous base, solid, fibrillose below, pruinose 
above the median ring. Gills at first whitish, becoming umber, 
adnate by their entire breadth, sometimes with a minute decurrent 
tooth, plane, with a somewhat granular margin. Spores dark 
brown. — Coohe Ulus. ined.
