are one or two varieties with less squarrose scales.
249. A. (Pholiota) adiposus, Fr. ; pileus compact, convexo-

(Plate 8, fig. 3.)—Huss. ii. t. 27.
On trunks of trees, especially lime-stumps, or on the ground.
Not uncommon. The changeable, smooth, cinnamon-coloured
pileus easily distinguishes this species, which varies much in
size.
