involute, sulcate; stem solid, blunt, yellowish, squamulose
ahove; gills crowded, emarginate, pale, then rather rufous.—

In woods. Not common. King’s Cliffe. Suffolk, Dr. Darf-
ham. Pileus 3-4 inches across; white, tinged with yellow, at
length stained. A very fine species.
67. A. (Tricholoma) einerascens, Bull.; pileus fleshy,
convex, obtuse, smooth, even; margin thin, naked, striate;
stem stuffed, elastic, nearly equal, smooth; gills crowded,
rounded behind, somewhat undulated, easily separating from
the pileus; white, then discoloured.—DmM. t. 4 2 8 ./. 2.
In woods. Not uncommon. Four inches across, white,
slightly shaded; gills at length tinged with reddish-brown or
yellow ; spores white. Smell unpleasant.
68 . A. (Tricholoma) grammopodius, B u ll.; pileus fleshy,
at first campanulate, convex, then expanded and depressed,
umbonate, smooth, moist; stem stuffed, elastic, sulcate,
smooth, attenuated upwards; gills arcuate, adnate, crowded,
,y\nte.—Bull. t. 548, 585./. 1; Huss. ii. t. 41.
In pastures, forming rings. Large, brownish-grey. Bolton’s
t. 40 probably belongs to this species.
69. A. (Tricholoma) melaleucus, P . ; pileus thin, fleshy,
convex, at length plane, obsoletely umbonate, smooth, moist,
changing colour; stem stuffed, thin, elastic, nearly smooth,
dirty, sprinkled with a few fibrils, thickened at the base; gills
emarginate, adnexed, ventricose, crowded, white.
On the ground. King’s Cliffe, on an asparagns-bod. In
my specimens the stem is sometimes thickened, sometimes
attenuated.
70. A. (Tricholoma) humilis, F r .; pileus fleshy, soft, ura-
bonate, then couvexo-plane or depressed, even, smooth or pulverulent,
hygrophanous; margin thin, reaching beyond the
gills; stem stuffed, pale, villoso-pulverulent; gills rounded,
with a decurrent tooth, crowded, ventricose, dirty white.
On the ground, and amongst grass. This is A. blandus,
Eng. El. The pileus is often pulverulent, and varies much in
colour, according to its condition ; stem 2 inches high, 2 lines
thick, brown within at the base. Frequently a very pretty
species, perhaps too closely allied to A. brevipes. Klotzsch’s
figure, El. Bcga. Bor. t, 374, seems just intermediate.
71. A. (Tricholoma) subpulverulentns. P .; pileus fleshy,
at first convex, even, with an innate white pruinose lustre;
margin inflexed ; stem solid, equal, smooth, somewhat striate;
gills rounded, without any tooth, crowded, white.—Huss. ii.
/. 39.
In pastures. Not uncommon. About 2 inches across.
Dirty white or greyish, with a white lustre.
Subgenus 5. Clitocybe.—Stem elastic, with a fibrous outer co a t;
gills decurrent or acutely adnate.
* Pileus not changing colour when dry.
72. A. (Clitocybe) nebularis, Batsch; pileus fleshy, compact,
obtuse, even, clouded with grej’, at length naked ; stem
stuffed, firm, striate with little fibres; gills arcuate, snbdecur-
rent, crowded, white, becoming pallid.— Grev. t. 9 ; Huss. ii.
t. 9.
In woods. Common. The clouded cinereous pileus is characteristic.
Pileus 3 inches across; stem stout. Esculent.
73. A. (Clitocybe) fumosus, P. ; suhcartilaginous, rigid;
pileus fleshy, at first convex, obtuse, even, naked, turning
pale; cuticle adnate; stem stuffed, unequal, somewhat pruinose
above, grey or dirty white, as arc the rather crowded
adnate gills.
In woods and waste ground. Not common. Solitary, or
