brown, more or less suffused with purple or lilac ; gills at first olive. Flesh tinged 
lilac at the apex of the stem as in I. cincinnata. The last-named Fungus differs from 
I. obscura in the brownish-violet gills. 
Var. rufus, Pat., Tab. Anal., no. 543. About the size of the typical form; 
differing in the reddish-brown, strongly umbonate pileus, violet gills, and spores much 
narrowed towards one end ; c. as in typical form. 
In woods. France. 
Var. major, Fries, Icon. Sel., ii, p. 6, tab. 107, f. 3. This is a larger variety 
figured and described by Fries. 
Forma major, stem 3-4 cm. long, 3-4 mm. thick; pileus more flattened when 
expanded, umbonate, 5 cm. broad ; gills paler. 
lacera, Karst., Hattsv., p. 457; Sacc., Sylh v, p. 767; Ag. (Ino.) lacerus, Fries, 
Syst. Myc., i, p. 257; Cke., 111 ., pi. 583. 
P. convex then expanded, often obtusely umbonate, at first smooth then scaly, 
the scales becoming squarrose, brownish then mouse-colour, at length pale, 2-3 cm. ; 
g. sinuate, adnexed, ventricose, pinkish then mouse-colour; s. slender, short, covered 
with brown fibrillose flecks, paler than the p., apex not mealy, stuffed, flesh reddish, 
3-3*5 cm.; sp. pip-shaped, smooth, 9-1 1 x 5—5*5 /* ; c. ventricose, abundant, 
55-70 x 1 2-1 6 [X. 
On the ground in pine and mixed woods. Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, 
Russia, Finland, Holland. 
Distinguished from I. scabra and I. mutica by the reddish flesh of the stem. 
As understood here, I. lacera is represented in Syd. Myc. March, exs. 2718.

Pays-bas, 1892, p. 235; Mass., Brit. Fung.-Fl., ii, p. 189; Ag. [Ino) carplus , Fries,

non Bresadola, Fung. Trid., i, p. 50, tab. 54. 
P. convex then expanding until almost plane, usually at length more or less 
depressed at the disc, everywhere densely fibrillose, the fibrils sometimes collected 
into adpressed or more or less erect squamules, which are somewhat concentrically 
arranged in adult specimens, dusky brown, i*5-2*5 cm. ; g. adnate then seceding, 
or adnexed, broad, ventricose, becoming dark brown ; s. hollow, somewhat narrowed 
downwards, covered with a spreading, fibrillose wooliness, paler than the p., 3-5 cm.; 
sp. pip-shaped, smooth, 8-10 x 5-6 /* ; c. numerous, often slightly curved, ventricose, 
60-70 x 12-15 /X. 
On the ground in woods, &c. Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy. 
The description given above covers the species admitted by all European 
mycologists except Bresadola, whose description and figure quoted above may, as 
suggested by Saccardo (Syll. v, p. 769), represent a form of I. maritima. 
/. umbrina , Bres., which superficially resembles I. carpta , differs in having 
rough spores. 
hystrix, Karst., Hattsv., p. 453 ; Sacc., Syll. v, p. 762 ; Agar, hystrix, Fries, 
Epicr., p. 1 71 ; Fries, Icon. Sel., ii, tab. 106, f. 1. 
P. convex then expanded, obtuse or slightly and obtusely umbonate, orbicular, 
dull brown to mouse-colour, covered with revolute, squarrose scales which become
