rooting, compressed, filled with yellow juice; gills adnate,
dirty-white, at length yellowish.—Sow. t. 385./. 4.
On stumps of beech. This also depends upon Sowerby’s
figure. No one else seems to have observed it. The yellowish
gills and pileus arc distinctive.
151. A. (Myeena) galopus, Schrad.; pileus membranaceous,
campanulate, somewhat striate ; stem slender, fibrillose
aud rooting below, filled with white milk ; gills attenuated
behind, white, then glaucous. (Plate 6, fig. 2.)
Amongst leaves, under trees. Generally diffused, but seldom
abundant. Pileus brownish or cinereous, sometimes
white. When withered, the white milk is occasionally wanting.
******* Stem distinctly glutinous, not milkg.
153. A. (Myeena) epipterygius. Scop. ; pileus membranaceous,
campanulate, expanded, covered with a viscid separable
skin ; stem elongated, tough, rooting, viscid, yellowish ; gills
adnate, with a decurrent tooth.—Saw. t. 92.
Amongst fern-leaves, etc., in woods. Extremely common.
Very variable in colour, but always easily recognized.
153. A. (Myoena) pellioulosus, Fr. ; pileus membranaceous,
campanulate, obtuse, deeply striate; disc at length depressed
; stem tough, viscid, dirty-white ; gills adnate, white.
On heaths. Mossburnford, A. Jerdon, Esq. October, 1858.
Cinereous. Resembling A. galericulatus rather than the last.
154. A. (Mycena) vulgaris, P. ; pileus convex, then depressed,
viscid; stem tough, rooting, fibrillose at the base,
cinereous ; gills decurrent, thin, white. (Plate 6, fig. 4.)
On plantations, especially of larch. Sometimes very abundant.
The viscid cinereous pileus, tough stem, and decurrent
gills, readily indicate this species.
155. A. (Myeena) roridns, Fr ; very delicate; pileus at
length depressed, sulcate, dry; stem dripping with gluten;
gills decurrcnt, rather distant, white.
On dead hramhle-twigs, etc. Not common. Nottinghamshire.
Springing at once from the twig. Various in colour,
but generally white, with a slight cinereous tinge. After
abundant rain the dripping stem is very striking.
******** Stem dry, dilated at the base into a little disc.
156. A. (Myoena) stylobates, P . ; pileus obtuse, campanulate
or convex, striate, slightly pilose; stem smooth, dilated
into a radiato-striate villous disc; gills free, distinct,
ventricose. (Plate 6, fig. 5.)
On fern, twigs, etc. Not common. Generally pure white.
Pileus 3 lines across. Very delicate.
157. A. (Mycena) tenerrimus, B . ; white, very delicate;
pileus convex, pruinose; stem pilose, adhering by a minute,
pubescent disc; gills free, ventricose. (Plate 6, fig. 6 .)
On fir-cones, sticks, etc. Smaller than the last. Pileus
frosted with minute granules; disc not striate. The affinities
of A. pilipes. Sow., are so doubtful, that it is omitted.
158. A. (Myoena) pterigenus, F r .; very delicate, rose-
coloured ; pileus campanulate, obtuse, striate, smooth, as well
as the thread-like stem, which springs from a little strigose
bulb; gills few, broad, adnate, entire. (Plate 6, fig. 7 .)
On dead fern-stems. Rare. A minute, but most elegant
Agaric. The edge of the gills is often of a deeper tint than the
disc. The normal form is found also on dead leaves. A variety
of this occurred at Canterbury on oak-leaves, with a lemon-
coloured stem and more crowded gills. See ‘ English Flora.’
********* Stem very slender, dry, growing on other plants without
any root; gills adnate, with a decurrent tooth.
159. A. (Myeena) corticola, Schum.; pileus thin, hemii'i
