Stem central, annulate andvolvate. Gills free or nearly so, white or whitish. (Fig. 10.) All the species grow on the ground in woods and uncultivatedplaces. A few are edible, others are poisonous or suspicious. Species 1—17 Amanita AGARICACE^: 15 Volva bulb-like, large, exhibiting a free expanded border in split-ting. Pileus naked or nearly so, and viscid, except 4a, 4b, and4c ; margin striate, except 4a, 4b, and 4c. Gills free or adnexed. 1—4 Volva splitting regularly, its margin closely adpressed to the s
