Fr. Hym. 185. Pliiteus agrees in all except the volva with Volvaria. If the pellicle of the pileus, which is often fibrillose, flocculose, or .pruinose, is to be con- sidered a concrete universal veil, it would be analogous with Lepiota. The apex of the stem which is sep- arate from the flesh of the pileus is inserted in it like a peg, which is the case in most of the Lepiotce. The species grow on or near trunks, ap- pearing early, and lasting longer than the VolvaricE. None are edible; taste insipid, smell unpleasant. * Cuticle of the pileus separating into fibrils orflocci. ** Pileus pruinate with atoms, so?newhat pulverulent. *** Pileus naked, smooth. â ^ Cuticle of the pileus separati?tg i?ito fibrils orflocci. 409.
