In the Dermiiii there are no species with the hymenophore free from the
stem, neither are any furnished with a volva, unless, indeed, a trace of such
species is indicated in the genus Oortinarms (for Cortinarins is certainly
allied to Pholiota and Hebeloma), where many of the species have an adnate
volva and arachnoid ring.— W.G. S.
Sub-Gen. 19. P holiota. Fr. S. M. i. p. 2 4 0 . (Jig. 19 .)
Spores sepia-brown, bright yellowisb-brown, or ligbt red ; stem
confluent and bomogeneous witb tbe bymenopbore, furnished
with a ring, persistent, friable, fugacious.
H ab. All tbe British species grow on stumps except five,
which grow on the ground, principally in damp, mossy places.—
(PI. IV ., fig. 19.)
A few species are said to be edible, but they cannot be recommended.
.PAoKoiu is analogous to Armillaria and. Stropharia. There is some danger
of confusing Pholiotee with Cortinarii, hut attention must be paid to the
spidery veil and the rust-of-iron tin t of the spores in the latter.— W. G. S.
