(Continued from p. 38). 
Agaxicus (Collybia) bibulosus, Massee. 
Pileus (1-2 in. across) fleshy, subglobose, obtuse, then expanded, 
moist, very smooth and even, dark obscure green when moist, pale 
grey or whitish when dry. Stem cartilaginous, spongy, stuffed, 
becoming imperfectly hollow, tapering upwards, minutely fibrillose- 
striate (l|-2 in. long, § in. thick at base), pale clear brown, darkest 
below. Gills narrow, crowded, thin, margin rather undulate, dingy, 
slightly adnexed, separated from the flesh of the pileus by a dark 
cartilaginous* line, which is a continuation of the outer portiomof 
the stem ; spores subpyriform (6 x 3 p). 
On stumps. Burnham Beeches. 
In groups of 2 to 4, pileus very bibulous, changing from blackish 
green to pale grey when drying, rooting into the wood. Allied in 
many respects to Ag. butyraceus.
