AG AR IC IN I . I l l
In woods. Pileus 3 inches across, very bibulous; flesh
dirty-white, soft. Pormorly referred by Fries to Hygrophorus
caprinus.
83. A. (Clitocybe) opaous, With.; white; pileus fleshy,
conve.x, expanded or depressed, umbonate, even, covered with
a floccose shining film; stem stuffed, subfibrillose, unequal,
flexuous; gills adnate, decurrent, very crowded, white.—Sow.
t. 142.
In woods. Too nearly related to A. cerussatus. Remarkable
for the silvery glaire with which it is clothed, which
sometimes admits of being rubbed off.
84. A. (Clitocybe) giganteus, Sow.; pilens thin, fleshy,
splitting, clothed with minute matted down, at length sqna-
mulose, funnel-shaped; disc always depressed; stem solid,
hard, blunt, equal, even; gills very crowded, slightly decurrent,
changing from white to yellowish.—Sow. t. 244; Huss.
i. t. 79.
In woods. Forming large rings. Not very common. Nearly
a foot across.
85. A. (Clitocybe) infundibuliformis, ; pileus thin,
fleshy, at first convex, umbonate, clothed with minute innate
down, at length funnel-shaped, flaccid; stem stufied, soft,
elastic; gills decurrent, moderately distant, white. (Plate 5,
fig. 2.)
On the sides of woods, amongst moss, etc. Extremely
common. Pileus mostly of a pale reddish-tan, 2-3 inches
across, often retaining traces of the umbo ; its edges occasionally
plicate, at length soft.
86. A. (Clitocybe) geotrupns. Bull.; pileus fleshy, convex,
then broadly funnel-shaped, strongly umbonate, compact,
even, smooth; stem solid, compact, fibrillose, attenuated upwards;
flesh white; gills crowded, decurrcnt, unbranched.
white, at length of the same colour as the pileus.—Grev. t. 41;
Huss. i. t. 66.
In woods and on their borders. Not uncommon, often
forming rings. Pileus white, tan-coloured, etc. A. subin-
volutus, Batsch, is a thicker, firmer, less funnel-shaped form,
with the margin generally grooved, and the surface spotted
from rain or dew. I t is very good when dressed, and is generally
found near fir-trees. Bolton’s t. 22, with distant gills,
is very doubtful.
87. A. (Clitocybe) inversus, Scop.; pileus fleshy, brittle,
convex, then funnel-shaped, smooth; margin thin, involute;
stem stuffed, thin, hollow, rather rigid, smooth ; flesh pallid;
gills dccurrent, unbranohed, pallid, at length of the same
colour as the pileus.—Sow. t. 186.
In fir-woods. Not common. Pileus 2 inches across, not
flaccid like the next; hrownish-red at first, then tan-coloured.
Often caespitose. Sowerby’s plant is unusually lobed.
88. A. (Clitocybe) flaocidus, Soiv.; pileus thin, rather
fleshy, flaccid, umbilicate, then funnel-shaped, even; stem
stuffed, unequal, rather fle.xuous, villous at the base; gills decurrent,
crowded, arched, yellowish.'—Sow. t. 185.
In fir-woods. Not uncommon. Often densely ciespitose,
and very handsome. Pileus bright in colour, sometimes
streaked, flaccid when young.
** Pileus hygrophanous.
89. A. (Clitocybe) eyathiformis, F r .; pileus thin, depressed,
then funnel-shaped, even, nearly smootli, moist, hygrophanous;
margin even, for a long time involute; stem
stuffed, elastic, attenuated upwards, fibrillose, more or less reticulated
; gills adnate, then deourrent, joined behind, dingy.
