On stumps of pines, Woodnewton, Northamptonshire.
Compton Basset, Wiltshire, Miss Dalby. Pileus several
inches across, olivaceous-brown; stem sometimes obsolete,
when present densely velvety. Witheririg’s A. aurantio-fer-
ruyineus is referred to this species, but a figure sent to me by
Fries shows me that Secretan’s quotation must he wrong.
3. P. Panuoides, F r .; pileus fleshy, cónchate, at length
smooth, dirty-yellow, elongated behind, sessile or stipitate;
gills crowded, decurrent, branched, dirty-yellow. (Plate 12,
fig. 6.)—Sow. t. 403.
In cellars, ou sawdust, etc. Not common. In profusion
at a sawmill. Coed Coch, 1858 and 1859. Closely resembling
the last.
6 . GOMPHIDItrs, Fr.
Pileus top-shaped. Hymenophorum confluent with the
stem. Gills slightly branched, formed of a mucilaginous
membrane, edge acute. Spores fusiform.
1. G. glutinosus, F r .; pileus obtuse, glutinous, purple-
brown ; gills dirty-white, then cinereous; trama none.—Sow.
t. 7.
In fir-woods. Not uncommon. Pileus 3 inches across.
Stem yellow within, and frequently at the base.
2. G. viscidus, F r .; pileus at length umbonate, viscid,
brownish-red; gills purple-umher, truly branched ; trama like
the substance of the pilens.—Sow. t. 105.
Under Scotch firs. Larger than the last. Stem deep
rhubarb-colour within.
3. G. gracilis, B. and B r .; pileus conico-hemispherical,
clothed with dingy gluten, at length spotted with black; gills
of a watery dingy-white, forked; stem slender, sprinkled
with minute scales ahove, virgate below. (Plate 12, fig. 7.)
I
In fir-woods. Not uncommon. The specimen figured was
gathered in Sir C. Anderson’s plantations at Lea, near
Gainsborough. Pileus scarcely exceeding 2 inches, generally
smaller.
7. HYGROPHORUS, Fr.
Hymenophorum continuous with the stem, and descending
without change into the sharp-edged gills; hymenium waxy.
* Veil universal, viscid.
1. H. chrysodon, iV .; white; pileus fleshy, convexo-plane,
viscid; margin involute, clothed with little yellow floccose
scales, as well as the stufied, nearly equal stem; gills rather
thin, distant, at length crisped.
In woods. Not common. Pileus 2-3 inches broad; gills
often edged with yellow glandular flocci. Extremely elegant.
2. H. eburneus, F r .; white; pileus fleshy, even, smooth,
glutinous, as well as the stufied, then hollow, unequal stem,
which is dotted above with glandular scales; gills firm, distant,
straight. (Plate 15, fig. 1.)
In woods. Not uncommon. Turning a foxy-red in parts,
as it decays. Easily distinguished from F[. virgineus, with
which it is often confounded by the glandular scales at the
top of the stem.
3. H. eossus, F r .; strong-scented, white; pileus fleshy,
even, smooth, viscid, assuming at length a yellowish tinge;
stem stuffed, nearly equal, glandular above; gills thin, distant,
straight.—Sow. t. 1 2 1 .
In woods. Extremely like the last, hut not turning red,
and always distinguished by its smell, which is like that of the
larva of the goat-moth. When bruised it is sometimes yellow.
4. H. eerasinus, B . ; pileus fleshy, convex, broadly umbonate,
pale umber, then grey, viscid; margin minutely tomen
