About old stumps and on the naked soil in gardens. Very
common. Often densely cæspitose. Pileus of a dull, dingy
white or ochre, slightly rugose, sometimes sparkling.
4. C. luridus, Fr. ; pileus suhmemhranaccous, ovato-conical,
irregular, smooth, viscid, even ; stem firm, solid, equal, brown ;
gills free, ventricose, blue-hlaok.—Bolt. t. 25.
On the ground. Not found since the time of Bolton.
Perhaps a mere state of the last.
5. C. fusoescens, Fr. ; pileus suhmemhranaccous, ovato-
expanded, polished ; disc slightly fleshy, even or cracked, scaly ;
stem hollow, brittle, curved, slightly fibrillose, scarcely annulate
; gills fixed ; umher-hlack.
On dead stumps. Bare. Kilmory, Argyllshire, Lady Orde.
6 . C. pieaceus, Fr. ; pileus membranaceous, ovato-campa-
nulate, striate, variegated with broad, white, superficial scales ;
stem hollow down to the rootless bulb, brittle, smooth ; gills
free, ventricose, cinereous-black.—Sow. t. 170.
On roadsides. Bare. Smell often extremely disagreeable.
Pileus 2 inches or more across, pied.
7. C. aphthosns, Fr. ; pileus memhranaceous, ovato-campanulate,
free from striæ, sprinkled with superficial, floccose
scales, then naked ; stem hollow, equal, twisted, fibrillose ;
gills adnate, linear, white, then black.—Bolt. t. 26.

campanulate, straight, margin striate, at first sprinkled with
floccose scales ; stem hollow, smooth, attenuated from the
rooting base ; gills reaching the stem, lanceolate, white, then
brownish-black.—Bolt. t. 24.
On the ground. Bolton’s plant has not exactly the same
habit as Bulliard’s, t. 437. f. 1, but Pries considers it identical,
and it is perhaps a cæspitose variety.
9. C.flmetarius, Fr.; pileus submembranaceous, clavato-
conic, soon torn and revolute, at first rough with white
floccose scales, then naked, longitudinally rimoso-sulcate, even
at the apex; stem squamulose, thickened at the base, solid;
gills .free, black, lanceolate, then linear and flexuous.
On dungheaps. Extremely common. A variable species.
Sow. t. 262 represents one of the varieties. Sometimes there
IS a root as long as the stem. I have this state and a beautiful
drawing from Mr. Browne, of Hitchin.
10. C. tomentosus, Fr. ; pileus submembranaceous, cylindrical,
then conic flocculoso-tomentose, at length longitudinally
nmose ; stem hollow, rather short, equal, velvety ; gills

coating sometimes peels off in broad patches.

stem fistulöse, equal, villous, white; gills somewhat adnate’
narrow, black.—Sow. t. 262.
On horse-dung, etc. Very common. Known at once by
the white, mealy coat. Sometimes appearing with the first
summer rains.

naked, rimoso-sulcate; stem hollow, finely silky, dirty-white ;
gills adnexed, lanceolate, dirty-white, then partially shaded
with brown.—Sow. t. 261.
About old stumps. Extremely common. Remarkable for
the sparkling particles with which it is sprinkled. Pileus
tawny, often densely cæspitose.
