In meadows, etc. Very common late in the year. Pileus
2 inches across, variable in colour, as ai’c the gills, generally
of a dark brown or bistre.
90. A. (Clitocybe) brumalis, JV.; inodorous; pileus rather
fleshy, thin towards the margin, umhilioate, funnel-shaped,
smooth, flaccid, hygrophanous; margin reflexed, even; stem
equal, somewhat incurved, smooth, dirty white ; gills distinct,
decurrcnt, pallid.—Bull. t. 248 A, B.
In woods. Canterbury. This is A. metachrous, Engl. EL,
whose characters agree rather with Bulliard’s figure quoted
ahove than with Eries’s character. Livid grey when moist,
nearly white when dry.
91. A. (Clitocybe) metachrous, F r .; inodorous; pileus
somewhat fleshy, convex, then plane and depressed, hygrophanous;
stem stuffed, then hollow, equal, tough, pruinose
ahove; gills adnate, crowded, pale, cinereous.
In woods amongst leaves. King’s Cliffe. Pileus 14-2 inches
across ; gills not truly decurrent.
92. A. (Clitocybe) fragrans, Rom>. ,• sweet-scented; pileus
rather fleshy, convex, then plane or depressed, hygrophanous ;
stem stuffed, then hollow, elastic, smooth ; gills rather crowded,
snhdecurrent, distinct, dirty white.—Roiu. t. 1 0 .
In woods. Common. Known by its sweet, anise-scent,
which resembles that of A. odorus. Pileus 14 inch across,
ochraceous, white.
93. A. (Clitocybe) difformis, P.; pileus submembranace-
ous, convex, then plane, subumhilicate, smooth, hygrophanous,
striate when moist, even when dry, at length subsquamuloso-
rimose; stem hollow, equal, smooth, shining; gills adnate,
distant, dirty white.—BoW. t. 17 (dry state).
In fir plantations. Near Plalifax. Livid when moist.
94. A. (Clitocybe) eotypus, F r .; pileus rather fleshy, flattened
out, at length depressed aud rcvolute, hygrophanous,
finely streaked with little close-pressed sooty fibres; margin
slightly striate; stem rather hollow, elastic, fibrillose; gills
adnate, rather distant, becoming pallid, at length stained with
red.
In meadows. Mossburnford, near Jedburgh, A. Jerdon,
Esq. Pileus honey-coloiircdgills mealy with the spores.
Specimens sent from Scotland exactly accord with a figure
forwarded to me by Erics.
95. A. (Clitocybe) bellus, P . ; pileus rather fleshy, convex,
then depressed, dull-orange, sprinkled with minute darker
scales; stem stuffed, equal, tough, rivulose, dull yellow, as
well as the rather distant adnate gills, which are connected by
veins, at length reddish-hrown.
In fir plantations. East Morden, Dorsetshire. 'Pileus 24
inches broad, deep orange-brown, becoming gradually pale.
Gills incarnato-ferruginous. Stem 24 inches high. Fries’s
plant has dirty-yellow gills, and so far differs from mine. I t
is at once distinguished from A. laccatus by its fetid smell.
93. A. (Clitocybe) laccatus. Scop.; pileus convex, then
mostly umbilicate, variable in form, hygrophanous, mealy,
subsquamulose; stem stufied, equal, tough, fibrous, bright-
coloured, as well as the thick, broad, distant gills. (Plate 5,
fig. 3.)—Grev. t. 249; FIuss. i. t. 47.
In woods, etc. Extremely common. Varying much in
size, colour, etc. Sometimes of a bright ametliyst-bluc, more
frequently of a reddish-hrown or grey (Sow. t. 187), sometimes
yellowish. Spores globose : a very uncommon character
amongst Agarics. Bolton, t. 41, f. A, is at present doubtful,
but its peculiar habitat, on the perpendicular sides of turf-
pits, must some day make it easy to recognize.
