Characterised by the small size, slender shape, tawny brown pileus, yellow 
ochre to ochraceous tawny gills, and pallid to oehraceous buff stem. In the 
National Park specimens the stem seemed eatilaginous, which would place the 
species under NaMOOria, but the tawny gills and general resemblance to small 
forms of F. excentriai seem to show its relationship to this species. It is possible 
it may have to be transferred to Nuucarki.

May. 
A species characterised by the rich tawny colour of the pileus and gills with 
a stem that appears unduly short for the size of the pileus. It grows on the 
ground. 
V. “Furnished with a cortina. Cuticle of the pileus slightly silky, dry or at 
first viscid.'’ — Rea. 
181. Flammula arenario-bulbosa Clel. (L„ arenarius, sandy; bulbosus, 
possessing a bulb). — Pileus up to 1 Aili. (5.7 cm.) or more, convex, villous- 
fibrillo.se, tending to break into small scales and crack to expose the yellowish 
flesh, Ochraceous Buff to Tawny (xv.). Gills sinuate or slightly so, moderately 
close, ventricose, rather deep, Isabella Colour (xxv.). Stem short, liu. (2.5 cm.), 
4 mm. thick, tibrillose, slightly hollow, with a sand-encrusted bulb at the base. 
Ochraceous Buff and darker. Veil yellowish, clothing the stem and breaking to 
form a definite ring when young. Flesh of the stem yellowish, apparently of 
the same texture as that of the pileus which is less yellow. Spores elliptical, 
vellowish-brown, 8.5 x 5.6 p. South Australia — In sandy soil, Hall’s Creek.

(e) Pileus confluent with, but heterogeneous from, the cartilaginous stem. 
*Gills adnate or sinuato-adnate. 
(Margin of pileus at first incurved or exceeding the gills. 
NAUCORIA Fr. 
(L., iiaihcum, a flock of wool.) 
“Pileus fleshy, regular; margin at first incurved. Stem central, cartilaginous. 
Gills adnate, sinuato-adnate or adnexed. Spores ochraceous, ferruginous or 
fuscous; elliptical, pip-shaped, almond-shaped or oblong elliptical; smooth, 
punctate or verrucose; continuous or with a germ-pore. Cystidia present. Growing 
on the ground, more rarely on wood; solitary, gregarious or caespitose. ” — Rea. 
This genus corresponds with Collybia in the white-spored section, the stem 
being subcartilaginous and the margin of the pileus incurved when young. The 
species grow on the ground or on wood and are mostly small. Only a few species 
have been recognised in South Australia, one of which, AT horizontalis, grows on 
wood and is quite small, the others occurring on the ground.
