densely ciespitose. In tlie latter state it is the subspecies
A. polius. I t occurred abundantly in October, 1859, at Coed
Coch.
74. A. (Clitocybe) inornatus, Sow.; pileus fleshy, plane or
depressed, obtuse, even, smooth; cuticle separable; stem solid,
nearly equal, smooth, firm, grey, as well as the adnate, plane,
at length decurrent, crowded gills.—Soi«. t. 342.
Amongst grass. I have not met with this species. The
separable cuticle indicates A. grammopodius, but the gills are
not in the least arcuato-adnate.
75 A. (Clitocybe) vernicosus, F r .; pileus fleshy, depressed,
obtuse, even, smooth, shining; stem stuffed, equal, short,
yellow, as well as the adnate, slightly decurrent, rather distant
gills.—Sow. t. 366.
In fir-woods. Pileus 3 inches across. Not found in this
country since the time of Sowerhy.
76. A. (Clitocybe) odorus, B ull.; dirty green, tough; pileus
fleshy, at length plane, even, smooth; stem stuffed, unequal,
elastic, thickened at the base; gills adnate, moderately
clistantj broad, pallid.—Sow. t. 42.
In woods. Common. Easily known by its greenish colour
and strong smell of aniseed; stem smooth and downy. A. m-
ridis. With. (Bolton, t. 12. n. 10), is too doubtful to insert.
Greville’s figure has much greater right to be considered the
same as Bull. 176, having narrow gills. The two supposed
species are probably not distinct.
77. A. (Clitocybe) cerussatus, F r.; white; pileus fleshy,
at first convex, obtuse, even, moist, soon smooth ; stem spongy,
solid, tough, elastic, naked; gills adnate, very crowded,
thin, then decurrent, and unchanged in colour. FI. Ban.
t. 1796.
In fir-woods. Not umbonate as A. opacus. Probably esculent.
78. A. (Clitooybe) phyllophilus, Dr .; white; pileus fleshy,
soon depressed and umbilicate, even, dry, marked with a white
lustre round the margin; stem stuffed, then hollow, spongy,
fibrous; gills adnate, decurrent, moderately distant, white,
then yellowish.—FI. Dan. 1847.
Amongst leaves, in woods. Distinguished from the last by its
umbilicate pileus, and the gills changing at length to yellow.
79. A. (Clitocybe) candicans, P . ; white; pileus suboar-
nose, at first convex, then plane or depressed, even, shining,
with a thin dead-white film ; stem subfistulose, waxy, shining,
even; gills adnate, crowded, thin, at length decurrcnt.
Amongst leaves in woods. When moist white, wlien dry
dead-white. About 1 inch across. In the nature of the stem
it approaches Omphalia.
80. A. (Clitocybe) dealbatus, P . ; white; pileus rather
fleshy, at first convex, even, smooth, rather shining; stem
stuffed, fibrous, thin, equal, pruinose above; gills adnate,
crowded, thin, white.—Sow. t. 123.
In fir plantations. Short, about an inch across, sometimes
cup-shaped, innato-priiinose under a lens.
81. A. (Clitocybe) gaUinaceus, Scop.; white, slightly
acrid; pileus rather fleshy, convex, then depressed, very obtuse,
even, drj', opaque; stem solid, equal, thin, even; gills
subdecurrent, crowded, thin.—Huss. i. t. 39.
In pastures. Very common. Distinguished from the last
by its opaque pileus and strong fungoid smell. The opacity
arises from minute pubescence. About an inch across.—
Bolton, t. 4, f. 2, is very doubtful.
82. A. (Clitocybe) elixns. Sow.; pileus umbonate, at first
convex, at length variously depressed, dingy, minutely tomentose
and streaked; stem even, nearly of the same colour as
the pileus; gills decurrent, distant, white.—Sow. t. 172.
