Massee . — A Monograph of the genus Inocybe , Kars ten, 485 
brown; s. firm, equal or slightly tapering downwards, solid, fibrillose or slightly 
scaly, nearly colour of p., 3-5 cm. ; sp. smooth, elliptical, 9 x 5 ft ; c. rare, subfusiform, 
45-55 x 12-16 11. 
Gregarious on ground in woods. United States (Bethlehem). 
(Peck's type examined.) 
mutica, Karst., Hattsv., p. 459; Sacc., Syll. v, p. 769 ; Ag. ( Ino ) muticus , Fries, 
Mon., ii, p. 346; Icon. Sel., tab. 109, f. 1 ; Cke., 111 ., pi. 382. 
P. convex then plane or slightly depressed, very obtuse, whitish or tinged straw- 
colour with darker adpressed squamules, 3-5 cm, ; g. broadly adnate, crowded, 
tinged brown ; s. short, 3-5 cm., rather stout, hollow, fibrillose, slightly narrowed 
downwards, straw-colour; sp. pip-shaped, smooth, 8-9 x 5 c. abundant, ventricose, 
50-60 x 14-16. 
Side of paths in woods, &c. Britain, Sweden, France, Germany. 
Fragments of the fibrillose veil sometimes attached to edge of pileus in young 
specimens. Qu 61 et (Flor. Myc., p. 106) considers that Ag. tomentosus , Jungh., Linn. 
1830, t. 6, f. 7, is an Inocyhe , and has placed /. mutica as a variety, and I. eutheles as 
a synonym under this species. It is more than doubtful whether any other mycologist 
would have seen an Inocybe in Junghuhn's figure, which is furnished with a distinct 
ring on the stem. 
(Specimen from Fries examined.) 
eutheloides, Peck, 32 Rep. State Mus., p. 29 ; Sacc., Syll. ix, p. 99. 
P. conical or campanulate then expanded and umbonate, silky-fibrillose, some-

On the ground in woods. United States (Brewertown). 
Closely allied to I. eutheles , differing mainly in the gills being narrowed behind
