Under Yew-trees, Apethorpe, Northamptonsliire. Pileus
2-4 inches across; allied to A. dypeolarius, hut more robust.
Smell rather disagreeable.
30. A. (Lepiota) clypeolarins, Bull. ; sweet-scented; pileus
fleshy, umbonate, at first clothed with an even crust, at
length broken up into floccose scales; stem fistulöse, with the
evanescent ring floccoso-squamose; gills free, approximate.—
Bull. t. 405, 50G./. 3.
In woods and in hothouses. Varying greatly in colour,
white, yellow, pink, rufous, brown, etc.
31. A. (Lepiota) eristatus, Fr.; strong-scented; pilens
slightly fleshy; cuticle at first continuous, naked, then broken
up into scales; stem slender, fistulöse, even; ring entire,
evanescent; gills free, at length remote. (Plate 3, fig. 7.)
FIuss. i. t. 48.
In fields, lawns, etc. Very common. Pretty, and remarkable
for its strong scent. Several varieties occur in hothouses.
33. A. (Lepiota) Vittadini, Moretti; pileus fleshy, obtuse,
rough with strong wart-like scales, as is also the stout solid
stem; ring large; gills ventricose, thick, free.—Huss. i. t. 85.
In pastures. Rare. Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Huntingdonshire,
etc. A large species, of a pure white; extremely
beautiful.
33. A. (Lepiota) nauoinus, F r .; pileus soft, fleshy; cuticle
entire, or breaking up into granules, somewhat umbonate and
even in the centre; stem stuffed, attenuated upwards; ring
large, at length evanescent; gills pallid, free, approximate;
spores very large.—Kromb. t. 3 4 ./. 20-33.
In fields. Tunbridge Wells, F. Currey, whose specimens
are of a delicate tan, the gills at length assuming a dirty-pink
hue. The large white spores are very characteristic. I t may
be confounded very easily with A. cretaceus.
24. A. (Lepiota) cepeestipes, Sow.; pileus suhmemhrana-
ceous, at first ovate, then expanded, meily and scaly, widely
umbonate; margin plicate ; stem hollow, floccose, thicker in
the middle or at the base; ring evanescent; gills at length
remote.—Grev. t. 333; Soiv. t. 3.
On tan and leaves in hothouses. White or yellow; the
stem varies in form. Sowerby’s plant has white spores, like
Greville’s. The species is probably of exotic origin, as it
never grows in the open air. I t is uncertain whether the
plant with an equal stem which often grows in similar situations
is the same species.
35. A. (Lepiota) granulosus, Batsch.; pileus fleshy, at
first convex, then expanded, mealy with innate granules;
stem rough, like the pileus below the narrow ring; gills
crowded, free, white.—Grev. t. 104; Huss. i. t. 45.
In woods and on heaths. White, pink, vermilion, yellow,
etc. Always easily istinguished by its mealy, granular
aspect.
26. A. (Lepiota) polystictus, B erk .; inodorous, fleshy;
cuticle continuous or broken into scales; stem attenuated
downwards, stuffed with cottony threads, scaly below the fugacious
ring, silky ahove; gills crowded, rounded before and behind,
free, white, with a pale-yellow tinge.
Amongst short grass, by roadsides. Northamptonshire and
Denbighshire. Stem pinkish ahove the ring; pileus 14 inch
across.

37. A. (Lepiota) gliodermus, Fr. ; pileus thin, soft, campanulate,
convex, smooth, even, rufous, viscid ; stem whitish,
floccoso-squamose, stuffed with cottony threads ; ring torn ;
gills free, white, approximate.
