Bresadolae, Massee; /. repanda (Bull.) Bres., Fung. Trid., pi. 119, f. 1. 
P. campanulate, then expanded and umbonate, edge sinuate and wavy, lubricous, 
whitish and covered with rosy-tawny fibrils, disc even and rosy-tawny, 3-6 cm. ; g. 
crowded, white, then dull cinnamon becoming rufous, edge white-fimbriate, rounded 
behind and free ; s. solid, whitish, pruinose, at length tinged with rosy-tawny, apex 
striate, base ventricose or slightly turbinately bulbous, 3-5 cm. long, 5-6 mm. thick ; 
sp. elongated, tuberculose, 8-10 x6/x; c. ventricose, 60-70x17-20^. Flesh 
white, tinged red when broken. Smell pleasant. 
On the ground. Austria. 
Notwithstanding Bresadola's rider 1 Speciem hanc genuinam Ag. repandum , Bull, 
sistere vix dubitaret/ I cannot admit the identity. This question I consider to have 
been settled by Berkeley more than half a century ago, and moreover Bresadola has 
obviously disregarded Bulliard’s text relating to his Fungus, and relied entirely on 
figures in his determination. Berkeley's original account of the Fungus he con- 
sidered to be Bulliard’s plant, and which he placed in the section Entoloma , is as 
follows : — 
P ileus 1-2 inches broad, conic, obtuse, at length expanded, very fleshy, the 
margin incurved and lobed, pale whitish ochraceous, with a few streaky shades, 
clothed with a very close, adpressed indistinct silkiness. Gills pale dull-rose, broad 
in front. Sporules round, rose-coloured. Stem ij inch high, 3 lines thick, white, 
beautifully adpresso-sericeus, composed of fibrous cells, distinct from those of the 
pileus. Odour like that of fresh meal. My specimens agree precisely with Bulliard’s 
plant quoted above, except that the colour is not so lively. He says expressly that 
the seminal powder is ‘ rougeatre/ which can hardly apply to any species of the sub- 
genus Inocybe (Eng. Flor., v, Fungi, p. 78). 
Rolland (Bull. Soc. Myc. Fr., xix, 333, pi. 16, figs. 1-3, 1903) has collected 
some specimens in France, respecting which he writes : — ‘ Dans ces champignons, oh 
il nous est impossible de voir autre chose que le veritable type de /’ Inocybe repanda 
Bull., les spores sont ovales et lisses.’ 
This makes the fourth species that has been stated to be undoubtedly the

almost glabrous, whitish, sometimes becoming tinged red and streaked with brown 
fibrils, 5-8 cm.; sp. subglobose, coarsely stellately-nodulose, 10-13 P > c - ventricose,
