sometimes forked, very distant.
In fir-plantations. Rare. Winkbourn, Notts. Smell like
that of laurel-leavcs. Pileus l^ - ^ i inches across, sometimes
depressed. This does not seem to be the same species with
H. agathosmus, Pr.
5. H. aromatious, B . ; very tender; pileus fleshy, smooth,
cinnamon, glutinous; stem stuffed, then hollow, reticulated ;
gills pinkish, decurrent when young.—Sow. t. 144.

By no means yellow like the last.

9. H. leporinns, F r .; pileus equally fleshy, convex, gibbous,
equal, fibrilloso-floccose, opaque; stem short, stuffed,

inches across.
10. H. pratensis, Fr.; pileus convexo-plane, then turbinate,

Probably esculent.

distant.—Kromb. t. 25. / . 1-3.
In mossy pastures. Very common. “ White, hygrophanous.
Smaller than the last. Disc not truly fleshy, and
hence umbilicate, not rimose.” I am not prepared to say
whether this is truly distinct from the last. Sometimes it is
only a few lines across.
