On twigs, loaves, etc. This is a minute species, differing
from A. acicula in its white stem and gills, but agreeing
somewhat in the orange-red pileus. I t is introduced on the
faith of Bolton’s figure aud description, t. 39 B, which, however,
may possibly be A. acicula. I have not met with it
myself* The ‘ English Flora’ plant is A. acicula.
119. A. (Collybia) ooellatns, P r .; pileus slightly fleshy,
nearly plane, even; disc depressed, darker, umbonate; stem
minutely fistulöse, filiform, smooth, brownish-white, rooting
and fibrillose at the base; gills crowded, white, adnexed, at
length separating.—Bull. t. 5 6 9 ./. 1 li-P.
On the ground, amongst leaves. Not common. Kinriordy,
Klotzsch.
** Gills at length cinereous.
120. A. (CoUybia) laceratus. Lasch; pileus between
fleshy and membranaceous, campanulate, rather blunt, moist,
streaked with brown; stem stuffed, then hollow, firm, twisted,
fihroso-striate, floccoso-pruinose above, at length compressed ;
gills distant, adnexed, broad, thick, greyish-white.
In pine-woods. Bristol, Dr. H. O. Stephens. Pileus dingy,
pallid when dry, 14 inch across. Allied to A. platyphyUus.
131. A. (CoUybia) atratus, Fr.; pileus slightly fleshy,
piano-depressed, umbilicate, very even, smooth, shining; margin
convex; stem stuffed, short, even, smooth, brown without
and within; gills adnate, rather broad, dirty-white.
On burnt soil, in woods. King’s Cliffe. Pileus 1 inch
across, dark brown at first. Stem 1 inch high, 1 -3 lines
thick. I have a figure of this from the Swedish Museum,
which represents the stem as nearly white.
* I hare a specimen from Dr. Stephens, gathered at Bristol, marked by him
A. claims. Bull., which is apparently Bulliard’a plant.
Subgenus 7. Myoena.—Stein externally cartilaginous. Margin
of pileus (which is mostly campanulate) at first straight and
pressed to the stem.
* Margin of gills different in colour from their surface.
123. A. (Mycena) pelianthinus, Fr.; pileus somewhat
fleshy, convex, nearly plane, moist, hygrophanous ; margin
striate; stem firm, fibrilloso-striate; gills emarginate, adnexed,
beautifully connected by veins, edge darker, somewhat
toothed. (Plate 6, fig. 1 .)
Amongst dead leaves, in woods. Not very common. Pileus
at first lilac or rose-coloured, 14-3 inches across; gills purplish,
with a darker toothed edge, a character which at once
distinguishes it from A. purus.
123. A. (Mycena) balaninus, B. ; pileus somewhat fleshy,
convex, umbonate, dry, minutely pulverulent, striate when
moist ; stem rooting, villous and dark below, white and pruinose
above; gills connected by veins, pale, with a purple
edge.—Mag. of Zool. and Bot. i. t. 1 5 ./. 3.
Amongst oak-leaves, beech-mast, etc. Rare. King’s Cliffe.
An exquisite species. Stem bright brown below, spongy at
the base. Gills sprinkled with purple spicules. Pileus oclira-
ceous, 1 inch or more across.
124. A. (Myoena) elegans, P. ; pileus submembranaceous,
campanulate, striate, umbonate ; stem even, equal, rigid, tomentose
at the base, floccoso-fibrillose ; gills linear, adnate,
dirty-white ; edge yellow, entire.
In woods. Not uncommon. Pileus half an inch or more
across, greyish or livid-yellow. I have given Fries’s character,
but find the gills rather broad, though scarcely ventri-
cose. The dark tint is often confined to the part nearest the
pileus.
