Agricola, laccatae lepis.
memo. In the white Penetration, from the Road, Dunckirch 14 Sept. 1887
23/5 lyptus; rather flattened.
A. Pileus flattish at length split at the margin and received,
Scale 4;
very pale tawny, smooth, with very minute radiating split,
Margin irregular. Gills thick of a reddish cinnamon, broad,
advanced. Stem cinnamon-brown, somewhat twisted, longitudinally
stirted, rootlets pale sterile, branched.
Pileus 1-2 inches wide, at length split into received variously-
lined streaks, involucreous with its gills when moist, but
of a whitish tawny color when dry, at first hemispherical,
and subumbilicate. Gills very thick from the commencement,
at length broken by the reconvolution of the margin of the pileus.
Stalk-coloured a reddish cinnamon, network with a whitish
fibrilla, which are the sporules and these are stained, translu-
cent and more colourless.
Stem 2-8 inches high, tortuous, usually twisted, involucreous,
subericeous, having a white stem at the base, also distinct,
branched, rather thick rootlets.
Stem as of a lost pileus; yet large specimen when moist with little.
There is considerable; the stem spreading into the pileus,
on attached by various wiry, of a minute spider web-like
between the gills.
