. British fungi (Hymenomycetes). Fungi -- Great Britain. I20 VIII. Agaricus i^Mycena) poly- gram7iuis. One-fourth natural size. Mycena. Subge7ius VII. MYCENA {ixvkt]s, a fungus). Fr. Syst. Myc. i. p. 140. Stem fistulose, cartilaghwtis. Pileus somewhat mem- branaceous, more or less striate, at the first conico- or parabolico-cylindrical by reaso7i of the margin being at the fi?'st straight, and either clasping the stem which is attenuated upwards, or pressed close a?id parallel to it. Gills not decurrent (or only uncinate by a small tooth). Epiphytal or rooted, slender, somewhat campanulate^ scarce- ly umbilicate. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 129. Distinguished from the minute Col- lybias by the margin of the pileus never being involute, but straight and pressed parallel to the stem, and from the Mycenarian Omphaliae by the pile- us being commonly umbonate. Some last far into autumn or winter; others are very fugacious. Most of them are inodorous, but some have an alkaline smell or an odour of radish. None of them are edible. I. Calodontes {;;, beautiful; 65ovs, a tooth). Stem juiceless, base not dilated into a disc. Edge of gills da7-ker, denticiilate (more or less, Monogr.), a mark by which they are distinguished from all others, except A. sanguin- olentus, which has a milky stem. By far the most distmguished species. II. Adonideas (from Adonis, denoting beauty). Stem juiceless, base not dilated into a disc. Gills of one colour, and not of a different colour at the edge, nor changing colour. Colour pure, bright, not beco7?ii?igfuscous or cin- ereous. Growing singly on the ground (except A. Iris) and requiring to be carefully distinguished from white and coloured varieties of Rigipedes, the gills of which turn pale from white. III. Rigipedes (rigid-stemmed). Stem firm, rigid, somewhat tough, juice- less, somewhat strigose and rooted at the base. Gills changing colour, white then grey or reddish, commonly at length connected by veins. Pileus not hygrophanous.
