C. dealbata ( dealbatus , whitewashed) and C. gallinacea 
(gallina , a hen—from its colour, like a hen’s egg) are two 
small white autumnal species agreeing in stature (P. i-i^ in.) 
and in the slightly decurrent gills. C. dealbata is inodorous. 
P. plane, then upturned and wavy, ivory-like. 5 . i in., 
hollow. C. gallinacea is strong-smelling and acrid. S. i-| in., 
solid. Both occur amongst grass and moss in sunny places. 
One form of dealbata frequently occurs in old mushroom- 
beds. 
C. ericetorum (ericetum, a heath—from its habitat) is a 
more or less infundibuliform species, differing from the 
above in the distant, truly decurrent gills. It much 
resembles Hygrophorus niveus. 
There are two species included in this group—viz., 
C. odora and C. Trogii —remarkable for their fragrant smell. 
C. odora ( odorus , fragrant). 
P. 2 in., soon plane and wavy, even, pale bluish-green, 
silky when dry. G. adnate, broad, pallid or greenish. 
S. i-i|- in., slender, swollen below, stuffed. Common in 
woods in ant. Its presence is at once indicated by the 
pleasant smell of aniseed. 
C. Trogii (after Trog, a Swedish botanist) is a stouter 
species, with dingy pale-grey pileus, whitish gills, and solid 
stem. Amongst leaves in woods in ant. 
C. fragans (fvagans , sweet-scented), a hygrophanous species, 
differs from the two preceding also in its smaller size 
(P. i in.) and uniformly whitish colour. Common amongst 
moss and leaves in woods and pastures bordering them 
from July to Jan. “ Very remarkable for its power of 
standing cold. On Dec. 30, 1882, I gathered it after very 
severe frost (Ther. o) for three nights in succession, and a 
week of complete thaw, in a perfectly fresh condition, and 
with the smell unchanged ” (Stevenson). The mould which 
occurs upon it is Spovodinia aspergillus.
