somewhat irregular, edge turned in especially when young, surface matt, pale 
fawny-white in the centre with the periphery paler or nearly pure white, later 
with a brownish tint. Gills adnate, then de-current, edges rather thick and entire, 
moderately distant, sometimes branching and connected by irregular cross-veins,

attenuated downwards, slightly hollow, white and somewhat mealy above, mouldy 
greenish-grey and mealy below. Spores obliquely pear-shaped or flask-shaped;

272. Cantharellus brunneus Clel. (L., brunnrus, brown). — Pileus about : l to 
-Ain. (10 to 12.5 mm.), submembranaceous, convex, the centre umbilicate to 
iufundibuliform, striate to rugose-st'riate, edge slightly incurved when young, 
semitrauslueent sometimes when moist, near Sayal Brown, Snuff Brown or 
Pinkish Buff (XXIX.), becoming pale wood-brown and drying pallid with a 
brownish tint (near Light Buff, xv., paler than Pinkish Buff), opaque and dull. 
Gills deeply decurrent, rather distant, edges thick, alternate gills short', often 
forked, especially in larger specimens, with narrow irregular gills at the periphery, 
sometimes venose on the sides, sometimes the branching leading to irregular 
cells at the periphery, slightly paler than the pileus (paler than Pinkish Buff 
or Cinnamon Ruff). Stem, A to lin, (1.2 to 2.5 cm.), slender, equal or slightly 
attenuated upwards, smooth above, sometimes slightly pruinose below, usually 
solid, sometimes hollow, colour of the pileus. Flesh of the stem continuous with 
that of the pileus, pallid brown when moist, whiter when dry, cortex of the stem 
more cartilaginous. Spores subspherical to pear-shaped elliptical, 5.5 g, usually 
7.5 x 4.5 to 5.5 g, rarely 6 to 9 x 3.7 to 5.5 /x. Amongst moss or short grass 
or on bare soil. South Australia — Greenhjll Road, Mount Lofty, Black Bill, 
Morialta, Mylor, Baker’s Gully, Kinehina, MacDonnell Bay (S.E.). May to 
August. (Figure 15 C.) 
This common little brown species is perhaps better placed under Omphalia.
