toothed, even, attenuated into a base of the same colour.—
Sow. t. 234.
Common in woods.
21. C. ceranoides, P. ; fasciculate, unequal, slightly divided
ahove, yellow ; apex brown.—P. Syn. p. 594 ; Sow.
t. 235.
In woods. Not common. Bagley Wood, Oxfordshire,
Rev. T. Hugo, Nov. 1841. Distinct, I think, from the last.
22. C. inæqnalis, Mull. ; gregarious, subfasciculate, brittle,
stuffed, yellow ; clubs various, simple or forked, of the same
colour below, continuous.—Fl. Dan. 836. / . 1 ; Sow. t. 253,
lower figures ; Huss. i. t. 18.
In woods, amongst grass. Common. A very variable
plant. Grev. t. 37 is smaller, scarcely fasciculate, and much
brighter in colour. C. helvola. P., on the contrary, is of a
dirty-yellow, with the tips cinnamon.
23. C. argiUacea, Fr.; fasciculate, brittle, pallid clay-
colour ; clubs simple, variable ; stem yellow, shining.
In heathy ground. Not uncommon. There is a variety
with a white stem. The plant, moreover, is either dilated or
cylindrical. The stem in this species is more distinct from
the pileus than is consistent with the generic character.
24. C. tennipes, B. and Br. ; , small, gregarious ; club inflated,
wrinkled, pallid clay-colour ; stem slender, flexuous,
somewhat distinct from the club.—Ann. of Nat. Hist. ser. 2.
vol. ii. i. 9. / . 2.
On hare heathy ground. Sherwood Forest. About half an
inch high, rarely confluent with the stem.
25. C. vermiculata. Scop.; cæspitose, hrittle, white; clubs
stuffed, simple, cylindrical, subulate.
On lawns, and in short pastures. Extremely common.
Looks like a little bundle of caudles.

26. C. irsLgiiis, Holmsk.; fasciculate or gregarious; very
hrittle; club hollow, obtuse, variable, attenuated and white
below.—Holmsk. i. p. 7, with a figure; Sow. t. 90, 232.
In meadows, gardens, etc. Not so common as the last.
Sowerhy’s plant, t. 90, is inflated; t. 232 is slender and more
cylindrical, while Bolt. t. I l l represents a subulate form.
Occasionally the plant is yellow, but always remarkable for its
extreme brittleness.
** Oluhs distinct at the base.
27. C. pistillaris, L . ; large, simple, fleshy, stuffed, everywhere
smooth, ohovato-clavate, obtuse, at length rufous.—
Huss. i. t. 62.
In woods. Not common. Kent, Mrs. Hussey. King’s
Cliffe, etc. At first white or yellowish.
28. C. oontorta, F r .; simple, bursting through the hark,
stuffed, between spongy and fleshy, somewhat twisted, wrinkled,
obtuse, pruinose, watery-yellow or dirty-white.
On fallen branches. Bare. Gracedieu, etc. The erum-
pent habit easily distinguishes this curious species.
29. C. Ardenia, Sow.; simple, very long, incrassated upwards,
hollow; apex obtuse and excavated, ferruginous, then
bright brown, tomentose at the base, rootless.—Sow. t. 215.
On fallen branches. Very rare. Principally in the southern
counties.
30. C. juncea, F r .; gregarious, slender, filiform, flaccid,
nearly equal, fistulose, acute, pallid, then reddish-hrown,
creeping at the base and fibrillose.—Bull. t. 463. f. H.
Amongst leaves, in woods. Sometimes very abundant.
31. C. acuta, Saw.; quite simple, straight, white; club
distinct, acuminate, pruinose; stem cylindrical, equal.
On soil, in garden-pots. Not common. Sometimes rather
obtuse.
