Schceffi. 66. (hut larger than our specimens.)—(Soiverby 102. E.)

Pileus nearly cylindrical, reaching half way down the stem, blunt at the 
top, scored at the sides, uneven at the edge : yellow brown, deeper and

*|* But pressed close to the stem, and even adhering to it by their edges in a young 
state so as not to be separated without injury to the one or the other, but still they are 
neither decurrent nor fixed, the former implying an extension of the base of the gill 
down the stem, the latter an adhesion of the base or shoulder to the stem. This adhe¬ 
sion of the edge of the gill to the stem takes place only in such as haye almost a cylin¬ 
drical pileus, and it separates as the plant arrives at maturity.
