The stalk is thick, fleshy, and stiff, and while growing so changes its direction as to keep the cap always in a horizontal position. The pileus or cap, at. Fio. 2S9.—Agaj-icus adipostiji. A, A mature aud a very youug sporophore grown in the forest; the other sporophores were raised on Fir-wood in a cellar. The latter have longer thinner stalks, and a basal swelling beset with white down. 5, Mature and germinating spores, (v. Tubeuf del.) first globose, opens out cone-shaped or flat with a diameter of about 5 cm. Eemains of the velum adhere to the margin. The underside of the cap is at first yellow, later mouse-grey. The lamellae are of three sizes, the largest extending from margin to stalk. From the lamellae arise the basidia, with four sterigmata each giving off a single spore. The spores fall at maturity, and cover neighbouring objects with a brown dust. They are oval with a length of 7-10/x and a breadth of 5-6/u. The sporophores spring up rapidly in large numbers on ' V.
