The appearance of this fungus strongly suggests as if it had 
been accidentally dropped in claret and this intensifies with age. 
There are no cystidia but only the large cells on the edge of the 
gills, which measure 45-60x12-15p. The spores vary from 
g-10x 5-74, whilst others measure 12-13 x 6-8p.

This differs from the type in the larger size and striate margin 
of the pileus, the wider gills and the pleasant smell like Maras- 
mius oreades. Marasmius Stephensit B. & Br. is also charac- 
terized by the pleasant smell like that of Marasmius oreades but
