on decaying Hazel leaves. Cromerplaw, 13 July 1839.
Pileus small, campanulate, obtuse, striated at the margin, pale greenish-
yellow, the apex yellow; smooth. Gills in 2 series, adnate, semi-elliptical,
whitish-pale-yellow, subhyaline near the margin. Stem slender, yellowish-
-pear above, brownish below; fibrillose, base broader, covered with filaments.
Pileus 2-3/4, 7 an inch, scarcely 2/15th broad, obtuse, truncate, with a
depression at the summit, where it is of a cleaner yellow; striated from
the shrinking of the interstices between the attachments of the gills.
Gills incised on both sides; scarcely in 2 sets, the alternate are nearly
and sometimes, clefts rather as long as the others. Spores elliptical,
minute, minutissima, subangular.
Stem near 2 inches in length; very slender and thin-jointed at
its junction with the Pileus; broader at the base, where it is covered
with sericeous hair.
Scarcely any odor.
Flesh very thin.
