On soil, in gardens, near wood. Not common. Dcnselj'
cæspitosc. Stem frequently proliferous, as in some species of
Coprinus. Inodorous.
131. A. (Mycena) galericulatus, Scop.; pileus submembranaceous,
between conical and bell-shaped, then expanded,
striate as far as the umbo, dry, smooth ; stem rigid, polished,
even, smooth, rooting at the base ; gills adnate, with a decurrent
tooth, connected by veins, dirty-white or flesh-coloured.
On trunks of trees. Extremely common. Often densely
cæspitose, hut sometimes scattered. Variable in colour, and
sometimes stained with the ulmates and humâtes of the decaying
wood. Inodorous and tasteless.
135. A. (Mycena) polygrammus, Bull. ; pileus submembranaceous,
conico-campanulate, somewhat umbonate, dry,
striate ; stem rigid, shining, deeply and continuously sulcato-
striate ; gills attenuated behind.—Sow. t. 333.
On trunks of trees. Common. Easily distinguished by its
shining, silvery, grooved stem.
136. A. (Mycena) parabolicus, H. awrf R.; pileus submembranaceous,
at first oval, then parabolic, obtuse, discoid, turning
pale, striate halfway; margin entire, turning white; stem
rigid, even, smooth, of the same colour as the pileus, strigose
at the base, swollen, abrupt, rooting ; gills adnate, ascending,
nearly distinct, whitish.—Sow. t. 165.
On trunks, especially of fir. Pileus dark in the centre,
then of a livid-blue, then whitish. Sowerby’s plant is on
willow-stumps.
**** Rim brittle ; gills changing colour. Strong-scented.
137. A. (Myoena) atro-allbus, Bolt.; rather firm; pileus
somewhat fleshy, obtusely hell-shaped, even, smooth, opaque,
brown, whitish aud striate towards the margin ; stem straight.
shining, two-coloured; root hairy, bulbous; gills attenuated,
nearly free, ventricose, white.—Bolt. t. 137.
Amongst moss, about the roots of trees. Not common.
138. A. (Mycena) dissiliens, Fr. ,• very brittle; pileus submembranaceous,
conico-campanulate, obtuse, lineato-plicate
halfway u p ; stem attenuated, somewhat incurved, finely striate,
cinereous, dark, strigose at the base; gills rounded, seceding,
at length free, broad, soft, dirty-white, grey at the
base.—Bolt. t. 154.
On trunks of trees. About Halifax. The species takes its
name from the stem, when compressed, breaking up into revolute
laoiniaj. Strong-scented.
139. A. (Myoena) alcalinus, Fr.; rigid, hut brittle, strong-
scented; pileus submembranaceous, bell-shaped, obtuse, naked,
deeply striate, moist, shining when dry ; stem smooth,
slightly sticky, shining, villous at the base; gills adnate, rather
distinct, white, at length tinged with blue.
On trunks of trees. Common. Easily distinguished by its
strong nitrous scent, like that of fermented walnuts. Often
tinged everywhere with yellow or pink. Solitary or caespitose.
140. A. (Mycena) paupereulns, Beri.; strong-scented ; pileus
obtusely conical or hemispherical, minutely innato-fibril-
lose, submembranaceous; stem smooth, rooting, villous at the
base; gills at first free, then adnexed, white.
Inside of decayed stumps. Not common. Minute, ochra-
ceous-white, at length stained from the wood. Odour farinaceous.
Gills adnexed, from the growth of the pileus, which
is sometimes striate from translucence. This, perhaps, would
be better placed before No. 137.
141. A. (Mycena) tennis, Bolt.; very brittle; pileus membranaceous,
bell-shaped, convex, obtuse, lineato-striatc; margin
crenate, appendiculate; stem straight, pellucid, membraTl
