Veil universal and concrete, with the
cuticle of the pileus breaking up in the form
of scales ( r ) ; pileus never compact, often
very thin, the flesh always soft and threadlike,
and not only distinct from the stem, but
often separated above into a peculiar cu p ;
stem distinct from the hymenophore, generally
hollow, full of threadlike fibres, rather
sub-cartilaginous than fleshy, different in
texture from the flesh of the pileus, hence it is
easily removed, leaving a cup or socket at its
point of juncture with the pileus (b), furnished
with an annulus, which is at first continuous
with the cuticle of the pileus, often
moveable, sometimes evanescent; volva
none ; gills free ; hence not sinuate or decurrent.
