in moist weather; stem short, incurved, white, flocculose, and
veiled, attenuated below; gills subdecurrent, of a yellowish
clay-colour.
On larch. Plintliam, Notts. Pileus about inch across.
Stem at length ferruginous. Bolton’s t. 55 is referred by
Fries to A. vinosus, hut it is surely Paxillus involutus.
278. A. (Plammula) lentus, P .; pileus fleshy, convexo-
plane, even, viscid, at first clothed with a few evanescent
scales; stem long, equal, scaly; gills adnate, dirty-white,
then clay-coloured.
On stumps. Not uncommon in the north. Pileus and
stem dirty-white.
379. A. (Plammula) flavidns, Schmff.; pileus fleshy, convexo
plane, equal, smooth, moist; stem somewhat hollow, fi-
hrillose, yellow, then ferruginous; gills adnate, yellow, then
ferruginous.—Schmff. t. 35.
On trunks of fir-trees, etc. Abundant on lime. Northamptonshire.
Remarkable for its fine yellow tints. Spores bright
ferruginous.
280. A. (Plammula) inopus, F r .; pileus thin, fleshy, convexo
plane, moist, smooth; stem fistulöse, thin, flexuous,
closely fibrillose, at length brick-red below; gills adnate,
crowded, linear, of a dingy whitish-yellow.—Bolt. t. 148.
On pine-trunks. Introduced on the authority of Fries’s
quotation of Bolton. He also thinks that A. hyhridus. Sow.,
may be the same species.
281. A. (Plammula) hybridus, F r .; pileus fleshy, hemispherical,
expanded, obtuse, smooth, even, moist; stem stuffed
with soft tissue, attenuated ahove, tawny, clothed with a whitish
veil which forms a ring; gills adnate, rather crowded,
pale yellow, inclining to tawny.
On fir-stumps. Gopsall, Bev. A. Bloxam. This does not
seem to he A. hyhridus. Sow., whose affinities are doubtful.
I t is the only species of the pine-borne Flammulm that has
been sent me as British, but it is probable that one or two
occur in Scotland.
Subgenus 19. Nauoobia.—Stem cartilaginous externally ; margin
more or less convex ; pileus inflexed.
* Pileus smooth; spores of a bright ferruginous tint.
282. A. (Nancoria) Cucumis, P . ; pileus slightly fleshy,
broadly campanulate, smooth, turning pale; stem slender,
firm, smooth, dark-brown, thickened at the tip, suhpruinose;
gills slightly annexed, ventricose, pallid, saffron-yellow.—
Sow. t. 344.
Amongst sawdust, etc. Not very uncommon. The dark-
hrown stem, huff gills, and fishy smell, easily distinguish this
curious species.
283. A. (Naucoria) Centunculus, F r.; pilens slightly fleshy,
convexo-plane, dingy-greenish, then yellowish, turning pale;
stem fistulöse, clothed with white down at the base, sprinkled
with w'hite meal above, cinereous-yellow, as well as the broad,
thick, adnate, seceding gills.
On rotten wood. Rare. Apethorpe. Pileus only a few
lines across. Gregarious.
284. A. (Naucoria) horizontalis, B ull.; pileus slightly
fleshy, plano-convex, obtuse, even, smooth, watery-cinnamon,
as well as the very short, incurved, naked stem, and rounded,
free, plane gills.—Sow. t. 341.
On trunks of elms. Rare. Burghley Park, etc. Pileus
only a few lines hroad. Habit like that of A. corticola.
285. A. (Naucoria) nuceus. B o lt.; pileus submembranaceous,
globoso-campanulate, umhilioate, dotted; margin incurved,
somewhat lobed; stem slender, fistulöse, silky, white;
