THE LARGER FUNGI 
100. Entoloma muscorum Clel. (L., muscnx, moss). — 1 'ileus up to ljin. (3.1 
cm.), irregularly convex, sulmmbonate, matt', near Bully Brown (XL.). Gills 
deeply sinuately adnexed, nearly free, moderately close, ventrieose, near Avel 
laneo’us (XL.). Stem Hin. (3.7 tin.), moderately slender, twisted, hollow, greyisli- 
horn. Flesh greyish-horn. Spores irregularly elliptical, faintly tinted, 8 to 8.5 x 
0.5 fi. No smell. Amongst moss. South Australia — Greenliill Road. August. 
101. Entoloma serrata Clel. (L., serratus, toothed like a saw). — Pileus tin. 
(2.5 cm.), deeply convex, irregular, smooth, white with huffy tints above. Gills 
adnexed with a slight tooth, almost free, rather ascending, close, narrow, edge 
serrate, dingy brownish flesh-coloured. Stem l{in. (3.1 cm.), Sin. (6 mm.) thick, 
equal, slightly striate, solid, white with buff tints. Flesh of the stem continuous 
with that of' the pileus. Smell quite strong. Spores oblique, one end pointed, 
microscopically pale yellowish, 10 to 11 x 5 a. In swampy soil. South Aus- 
tralia — Mount' Compass. April. 
102. Entoloma Bloxamii Berk. var. angulata Clel. (After Rev. A. Bloxam, a 
British mycologist; L., angulatus, angled). — Pileus lfin. (4.4 cm.), broadly 
conieo-convex with a tendency to unibonation, surface matt, blackish with a violet 
tint, edge pale. Gills adnexed, moderately close, 8 mm. deep, edges slightly 
jagged, pallid greyish buff. Stem 2|in. (6.2 cm.), stout (1 cm. above, 1.3 cm. 
below), somewhat' attenuated upwards, fibrillose, slightly hollow, steely grey. 
Flesh white, thin except over the disc, flesh of stem similar in texture to that 
of the pileus. Spores angular, faintly tinted, 8x5/1. On bare sandy soil in 
heathy scrub. South Australia — Mount Burr (S.K.). May. 
The Australian plant: resembles in stature the species as illustrated by Cooke. 
The spores are, however, definitely angular and more elongated than subglobose. 
**Gills decurrent or adnato-deeurrent by a tooth. 
CLITOPILUS Fr. 
(Gr., Tslitos, a slope; pilos, a cap.) 
“Pileus fleshy, regular or irregular. Stem central, fleshy. Gills decurrent. 
Spores pink; elliptical, fusiform, globose or oblong; angular, smooth or verrueose; 
continuous. Growing on the ground.’’ — Rea. 
The species are terrestrial and resemble CHtocybc in the white-spored group; 
when the tint of the spores is slight, it may be difficult to decide in which genus 
of the two to place the species concerned. The gills when not decurrent are 
broadly adnate and then do not become bayed with age. We have several species, 
one of which, C. xubfnmentact ux, is sometimes abundant; it is a fleshy species 
whose spores are definitely but not deeply tinted and so may easily be looked 
for in the genus ClHocybe.
