By M. C. Cooke. 
{Continued from vol. x., p. 152.) 
Agaricus (Tricholoma) exscissus, Fr. Icon. t. 44, /. 2. Coolie Illus., 
t. 171. 
Pileus rather fleshy, campanulate, then expanded, at length um- 
bonate, even ; stem solid, even , thin, equal, smooth, rather shining ; 
gills emarginate, crowded, linear , white. 
In pastures. Cromer (Rev. J. M. Du Port), May, 1882. 
Agreeing better with the figure in Fries’ “ leones ” than with 
his description. Pileus 2 inches, umbonate, umbo darker, opaque, 
mouse- grey, stem whitish, turning brownish at the base, 2 inches 
long, slightly striate. No perceptible odour. 
Agaricus (Hypholoma) lacrymabundus, Fries Icon., t. 134, f. 1. 
“ The species figured in the ‘ leones ’ occurred last October at 
Coed Coch, and near Hereford. What has usually passed under 
this name is A. velutinus P. We find the spores *0003- , 0004 inch 
long, and in A. pyrrhotrichus *0005-*0006 inch.” — Berk, Br. Ann. 
Nat. Hist., No. 1950. 
Agaricus (Hypholoma) cascus, Fr. Hym. Bur., 294. 
“What we described in the ‘ Notices’ as an abnormal state of 
A. appendiculatus is undoubtedly this species.” — Berk, Br. Ann. 
Nat. Hist., No. 1950.* 
Agaricus (Hypholoma) pilulaeformis, Bull. t. 112. 
Penzance, Mr. Ralfs. “ This is possibly a veil-bearing state of 
the very common A. spadiceus, though Fries says * velum etiam 
primitus absolute nullum.’ We are inclined rather to considerit 
the young of A. hydrophilus, Bull. t. 511 ; still we think it right 
to record its occurrence in Cornwall. We do not suppose, with 
Fries, that it has anything to do with Bolbitius .” — Berk. <$• Br. 
Ann. Nat. Hist., No. 1951. 
Agaricus (Psilocybe) hebes, Fr. Hym.. Eur., 303. 
Pileus rather fleshy, convex, then expanded, obtuse, smooth, 
hygrophanous ; margin slightly striate ; stem fistulose, smooth, 
equal, growing pallid ; gills adnate , triangular , crowded, whitish 
then fuscous. Pers. Myc. Eur. hi. t. 28, fig. 5. 
Amongst leaves, &c., in beech woods. 
“ Not exactly the form figured by Fries in his leones as the stem 
is taller, but the colour of the hygrophanous pileus is the same 
exactly, the spores atro-purpureous. Pileus at first obtuse, but in 
drying it becomes spuriously and minutely umbonate. Spores 
•0007 in. long.” — B. Br. Ann. Nat. Hist., No. 1952.
