Pileus more or less membranaceous, generally striate, with the
margin always straight, and at first pressed to the stem, never
involute, expanded, campanulate, and generally umbonate (not
depressed, as in Omphalia) ; stem externally cartilaginous, tubular,
not stuffed when young, confluent with the hymenophore,
hut heterogeneous from i t ; gills never decurrent, though some
species have a broad sinus near the stem.—(PI. I I ., fig. 8.)
H a b . Mostly epiphytal.
Most of the species are small, beautiful, and inodorous, but some which
have a strong alkaline odour are probably poisonous ; none are known to be
edible. They appear after rain in summer and autumn.
