ham has shown it to me in great abundance. Pileus several
inches across. A. necator, Bull., is merely a form of L. tor-
minosus.
4. L. insulsus, F r .; pileus fleshy, umbilicate, then funnel-
shaped, viscid, yellowish, zoned, margin naked; stem stuffed,
then hollow, firm, pallid, as well as the crowded, forked gills.
(Plate 13, fig. 2.)—Huss. i. t. 59.
In woods, and on their borders. Very common. Sometimes
attaining a large size. Flesh not compact as in the
next. Spores yellowish.
5. L. zonarius, F r .; pileus compact, umbilicate, even, viscid,
marked with yellowish zones; margin involute, naked; stem
short, solid, elastic, even, yellowish; gills thin, crowded, dirty-
white ; milk white, acrid, unchangeable.—Bull. t. 104.
On the borders of woods. Rare. Cotterstock, Northamptonshire.
I have not, however, seen it for a great many
years. Harsh and woody.
6. L. blennius, Fr.; pileus fleshy, depressed, glutinous, often
concentrically guttate, greenish-grey; margin from the first
even, slightly pubescent; stem stuffed, then hollow, viscid, of
the same colour; gills crowded, white, as well as the acrid
milk.—Kromb. t. 69. /. 7-9.
In woods. Extremely common. Pileus about 3J inches
across; gills cinereous when wounded.
7. L. hysginns, F r .; pileus fleshy, rigid, umbilicate, even,
viscid, flesh-coloured, inclining to red ; margin thin, inflexed;
stem stuffed, then hollow, smooth, somewhat spotted; gills
crowded, white, as well as the acrid milk.—Kromb. t. 14.

from the first umbilicate, darker; stem solid, firm, attenuated
downwards; gills crowded, dirty-white ; milk white, acrid.—
Sow. t. 203.
In woods. Rare. I t would seem from Sowerby’s drawing
that the milk in his plant is white, and if so. Fries is right
in referring it to this species. “ Pileus brownish or rufous,
turning pale, darker under the separable cuticle.”
9. L. uvidus, F r .; pileus fleshy, thin, convex, then depressed,
zoneless, viscid, dingy; margin at flrst involute, naked;
stem soon hollow, viscid, pale; gills thin, crowded, when
wounded becoming lilac, as well as the white milk.—Batsch,
/ . 302.
In woods. Not uncommon. Pileus about 24 inches across.
10. L. pyrogalus, F r .; pileus fleshy, flattened, depressed,
somewhat zoned, smooth, even, rather moist, livid-cinereous;
stem stuffed, then hollow, pallid, attenuated downwards; gills
thin, rather distant, yellowish; milk abundant, white, extremely
acrid.—Kromb. t. 14. / . 1-9.
In woods and meadows. King’s Cliffe. Coed Coch.
11. L. plumbens, F r .; pileus compact, convex, then in-
fundibuliforra, dry, not polished, dingy, then blackish-brown;
stem solid, equal, blunt; gills crowded, yellowish; milk acrid,
white, unchangeable.—Sow. t. 245.
In woods. Rare. Edinburgh, Dr. Greville. Several inches
across. Sowerby’s plate represents the gills as hroad and
dingy like the pileus, as well as the milk, but in the original
drawing they are pallid, and the milk white.
13. L. piperatus, F r .; white; pileus compact, umbilicate,
then infundibuliform, rather regular, zoneless, even, smooth;
stem solid, thick, very short; gills decurrent, crowded, narrow,
dicliotomons; milk abundant, acrid, white.—Kromb. t. 57.
