Recent collections show that this form is of frequent occurrence, 
though not constant, many specimens having merely a well- 
developed conical umbo. 
The pileus is broadly conic o-campanulate, up to 2 cm. 
diameter, pinkish- white, subdiaphanous, feebly silky-striate, 
with a well-developed, conical, obtuse umbo, sometimes pro- 
longed into a cylindrical or horn -like outgrowth, up to 2 *5 mm. 
high and 2 mm. diameter. Gills pallid, then pale pink, 
broad, ventricose, adnate with a decurrent tooth. Stalk up 
to 3*5 cm. high, 2 mm. diameter, white, subtranslucent, 
glabrous, shining, equal, slightly inflated at the base, almost 
solid, with a very narrow central cavity. Spores pink, irregu- 
larly nodular, polygonal in outline, 12 x 9 
On the ground, among grass, Peradeniya. 
156. — Eccilia hyalodepas B. & Br. 
Pileus up to 4 cm. diameter, centre depressed br umbilicate, 
elsewhere plane, margin decurved, ivory white, pellucid, 
becoming delicately pink, glabrous ; flesh thin, translucent. 
Stalk up to 3 cm. high, 3*5 mm. diameter, equal, or slightly 
thickened upwards, white, pellucid, minutely pruinose, base 
tomentose, stuffed, then hollow, cartilaginous. Gills adnato- 
decurrent, or sinuato-adnate, slightly arcuate, up to 5 mm. 
broad. Spores pink, angular, 8-10 ^ diameter, quadrangular 
or pentagonal in plan. 
157. — Omphalia peri B. & Br. 
Pileus up to 1 cm. diameter, convex, then plane, finally 
depressed or infundibuliform, margin at first incurved, usually 
undulating when full grown, minutely tomentose, white ; 
flesh thin. Stalk short, about 2 mm. high, 1 mm. diameter, 
equal, or thickened at the base, minutely tomentose. Gills 
white, then pinkish, not crowded, comparatively broad 
(1*5 mm.), adnato-decurrent. Spores salmon-pink in mass, 
oval, 5-8 X 3-4 pi. 
This is a Clitopilus, and will stand as Clitopilus peri (B. & 
Br.). Thwaites’s figure shows a longer stalk, and more 
crowded, narrower gills.
