velvety down; gills adnate, crowded, watery cinnamon.—
Batsch, / . 207.
On the ground, especially amongst firs. Common.
253. A. (PhoUota) pumilus, F r .; pileus slightly fleshy, hemispherical,
obtuse, even; stem fistulöse, thin, subfibrillose,
ring rather fugacious; gills adnate, crowded, hroad, yellowish.
In woods. Rare. AVothorpe, October 1859. Pileus only a
few lines hroad, yellowish.
254. A. (Pholiota) mycenoides, F r .; pileus membranaceous,
campanulate, then convex, deeply striate, hygrophanous,
smooth, as well as the fistulöse, slender, ferruginous stem;
ring membranaceous, white; gills adnate, rather distant, ferruginous.—
Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. ii. vol. ii. p. 261. t. 9. f . 1
{A. mesodactylius).
On the ground, in damp dells. Rare. My plant has a white
stem, but, as Fries considers it the same with his A. mycenoides,
I am content to follow his views.
255. A. (Pholiota) LeveiUianns, Doz. and Molk.; hard,
fleshy, thin, convex, umbonate, clothed with a glutinous, dark
brown, opaque pellicle, at length wrinkled and paler when
dry; stem hollow, nearly equal, fibrilloso-squamose below the
ring, white, with a reddish tinge; gills broad, adnate, decurrent,
white, then pink, at length rufous.—A. jecorinus, B. and
Br. I.e. p . 360.
On soil. Rare. Rushton, Northamptonshire. About 14-2
inches across.
Subgenus 17. Hbbbloma.—Veil, if present, floccose, not interwoven.
Stem fleshy; gills sinuated.
1. Cuticle fibrous, dry.
* Pileus squarrose; stem scaly, dark.
256. A. (Hetaeloma) relioinus, F r .; pileus fleshy, thin, conical,
then expanded, obtuse, rough with tomentose scales;
stem solid, soft, equal, floccoso-squamose; gills adnexed,
crowded, yellow, then dingy-olive.
In marshy fir-woods, amongst Kinnordy, Klotzsch.
Pileus 1 inch across.
257. A. (Hebeloma) lanuginosus, F r .; pileus fleshy, hemispherical,
expanded, obtuse, floccoso-squamose, the scales of
the disc erect and sharp; stem thin, solid, squamoso-fibrillose,
clothed with white dust above; gills thin, separating, toothed,
of a pallid clay-colour. Pileus umber, inclining to yellow.—
Bull. t. 370.
On the ground. Not common. The gills in Bulliard’s
plate are represented as reddish, but in the text they are described
as “ fuligineo-ferrugincie.”
258. A. (Hebeloma) plnmosus. Bolt.; pileus slightly fleshy,
convexo-plane; disc squarrose, with erect, fasciculate hairs;
margin fibrillose; stem stufied, then hollow, slender, flexuous,
flocculoso-squarrose, naked above; gills subadnate, scarcely
crowded, ventricose, quite entire, dingy.—Bolt. t. 3 3 .
In moist pine-woods. I have not met with this species.
** Pileus scaly ; stem fibrillose, paler than the pileus.
259. A. (Hebeloma) pyriodorns, P . ; pileus fleshy, conical,
then expanded, umbonate, clothed with adpressed, fibrous
scales; stem stuflled, firm, equal, fibrillose from the remaius
of the veil; pruinose and pale above; gills emarginate, rather
distant, dirty-white, then reddish-brown.
In woods. Not uncommon. Smell like that of decaying
pears. Pileus 2 inches across, pale brownish-ochre.
260. A. (Hebeloma) soaber, Müll. ; pileus fleshy, conical,
then obtusely gibbous, sprinkled with close-pressed fibrous
scales; stem thick, solid, equal, clothed with silky threads,
veiled; gills adnexed, crowded, dingy.—Sow. t. 207.
