The veil, though fugacious, at once distinguishes it from other species, with
which it might easily be confounded. Pilens when fresh usually bay,
when dry tawny, about 1^ in.broad, flesh whitish. Stem 2iu.long, 1-2 lin,
thick, at first white, then becoming ferruginous, slightly mealy above.

Spores purple, purple-brown, or slate-colour ; veil obsolete (or

The species are almost all gregarious, cæspitose, inodorous, with fugitive
colouring, and not edible. Fries divides the sub-genus into two groups, the
tenacious and Vue fragile. Psilocyhe corresponds with Collyhia, Leptonia, and
Naucoria.
