FETCH : 
apex, faintly longitudinally striate, powdered with black 
granules, hollow, flesh-coloured as externally, lined with a few 
white fibrils, base tomentose. Gills greenish -yellow, distant, 
up to 4 mm. broad, decurrent, terminating in a definite line 
round the stem, sometimes forked, rather fleshy, but with a 
thin edge, interstices sometimes feebly veined. Spores white, 
oval, somewhat inequilateral, 8-11 X 4-5 
On dead twigs, &c., Peradeniya. 
147.— Tricholoma rhacophorum B. & Br. 
The painting from which Berkeley and Broome described 
this species shows a specimen with a dark brown pileus and 
a slightly scaly stem. I have not met with that form, but 
the following, which occurred in abundance in November, 
1914, agrees with Tricholoma rhacophorum in its excentric 
stalk and echinulate spores, and is probably a variety. 
Pileus up to 10 cm. diameter, convex, even or obtusely 
umbonate, somewhat irregular in outline, white or ochraceous, 
glabrous or innately hoary, here and there shining. Flesh 
white, rather thick. Stalk expanding into the pileus, central, 
or excentric, sometimes almost lateral, up to 4 cm. high, 1 cm. 
diameter, equal, sometimes bulbous at the base, minutely 
longitudinally fibrillose. Gills crowded, narrow, arcuate, 
sinuato-decurrent, white or faintly cream. Spores white, 
broadly oval or subglobose, 5-6 X 3*5-4 [l, minutely echi- 
nulate. 
On the ground, from masses of mycelium permeating dead 
leaves, Peradeniya. 
148. — CollyWa crocobapha (B. & Br.). 
Fasciculate, connate at the base. Pileus up to 7*5 cm. 
diameter, broadly convex, undulating, reddish-yellow in the 
centre, elsewhere yellow, sometimes with radial red streaks, 
margin reddish -yellow when sodden, minutely scurfy. Flesh 
yellow, thin, except over the stalk. Stalk up to 10 cm. high, 
1 cm. diameter, sometimes inflated and fistulöse in the lower 
half, stuffed, then hollow, pale yellow, sometimes with reddish
