Veil partial, in infancy attaching the
edge of pileus to the upper p art of stem,
and often forming flocci on the pileus ( a ) ;
pileus generally fleshy; stem homogeneous
and confluent with the hymenophore,
furnished with a ring (sometimes absent
in abnormal specimens), below the ring
the veil is concrete with the stem, often
forming scales upon it, similar to the
scurfy scales on the pileus ; gills broadly
touching, or running down the stem.
