CRYPTOGAMIA. FUNGI. Agaric^. 
(3) Gills yellow. 
Ag. parVus. Gills orange, in pairs, about twenty pair : pileus orange, 
dimpled: stem orange. 
(Soiverby 45. E.)— Bull. 519. 1. B. C. 
Gills decurrent, deep orange, paler towards the stem, broad for the size of 
the plant, about twenty large ones and a very small one between each. 
Pileus orange, centre depressed, edge turned down, one-third or one-fourth 
of an inch over. 
Stem hollow, orange, half or three-fourths of an inch high, not thicker than 
a pin. 
The whole plant very viscid and semi-transparent. Bulliard has called 
this plant corticalis , and figured it as growing on the bark of a tree, but as 
that is not its most common situation, his name is not very proper.

Pileus one line to half an inch over; in the small ones bell-shaped, with 
plain margins; in larger convex, always dimpled in the centre; the 
dimple bluish purple, which colour runs down part of the stem, and may 
be seen through the gills if held up to a strong light; the margin waved 
and plaited with great elegance, extended, thin, varying, of a pale or 
deep orange colour. 
Stem long, slender, hollow, the lower half deep orange as the pileus, upper 
pale as the gills, smooth and shining, cottony at the base. The whole

green when exposed to the air.
