RHODOSPORiE 
J 3 1 
like a poor specimen of Agavicus congr&gatus (Coprinus 
micaceus ), but the pileus is not plicate. The lamellae are 
remarkably glandular on their sides, and instead of a bare 
base, or foot, it stands in a little socket-like volva ” 
(Sowerby). Boudier, the eminent French mycologist, asso¬ 
ciates it with Pluteus semibulbosus. 
RHODOSPORiE 
Spores salmon colour or pink. Gills salmon colour or 
rosy at maturity. In some species the colour of the gills 
is very pale. These might easily be mistaken for certain 
members of the Leucosporae, if the colour of the spore mass 
is not carefully noted. 
CLAUDOPUS 
(Claudus , lame, Gr. pons, a foot—from the dwarfed stem) 
C. variabilis (from its variability). Plate XXXV. i. 
P. up to i in. At first resupinate, attached by a more or 
less stem-like base, margin incurved and very thin, almost 
fleshless. Pure white, downy and delicate. G. narrow, 
radiating from the point of attachment; rather distant. 
White at first, becoming pale salmon colour. They remain 
white for some time, and the plant might then be mistaken 
for a Pleurotus. Common in aut. on dead wood, branches, 
moss, etc. 
ECCILIA 
(Gr. ekkoiloo, to hollow out—from the depressed pileus) 
E. rhodocylix (Gr. rhodon , a rose; kulix, a cup—the 
pileus resembling a rose-coloured cup), “ Rose-cup.” Plate 
XLII. i. 
P. about \ in., very thin, deeply umbilicate, margin 
reflexed ; hygrophanous, brownish, grey when dry. G. broad, 
distant, deeply decurrent; whitish, then flesh colour.
