Stem dilated at the apex into a plane round disc, even on both sides, to the mar- gin of which are adjixcd the gills which are free, not joined by any membrane, radiating, razor-shaped, persistent, obtuse at the edge. Trama cellulose. Spores oblong, even, black fuscous. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 319. No British species. V Genus III.—Coprinus {Koirpos, dung). Pers. Fr. Epicr. p. 241. Coprinus. Hymenophore separate from the stem. Gills membranaceous, at first closely pressed together and cohering, scissile, at length melting away into a black fluid. Trama obsolete. Spores oval, even, black. A very distinct and sharply de- fined genus. Fugacious fungi, most of them furnished with a floccose or furfuraceous universal veil. Gills linear or ventricose, whence the ori- ginal form of the pileus is cylindrical or ovate. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 320. The gills in this very natural genus are fully developed when the fungus first makes its appearance. The bio- logical difference of the gills, as compared with those of Agaricus, is much more remarkable than the characters which distinguish most genera. The species are of rapid growth, often ephemeral. They.
