The superior cuticle or pellicle is sometimes sodistinct from the subjacent stratum that it may be strippedoff, but in other species it is so intimately incoi-porated withthe substratum that it is inseparable. From the margin ofthe cap this cuticle is sometimes extended inwards and unitedto the stem, covering the young hymenium, and forming a the cuticle may be quite dry or viscid, or evencovered with a slimy gluten, as in Agaricus mucidiis andAgaricus aeruginosus. In some cases the cuticle is compara- THE RECEPTACLE 33 tively thick, and consists of an outer and inner layer, theformer breaking up as the cap expands, and adhering inpatches or scales, as in Agariais jJ^occrus, whilst the innersilky, fibrous layer is closely adnate to the flesh.
