A small group intermediate between ^_ the Hyporhodiiand the Dermini. The spores of A. euosmus and sapidus are pale lilac, quite different from the rubiginous spores of the Claudopodes. Besides, these species have no affinity with the true Claudopodes, but a very close one with the Leucospori, so that A. euosmus was first taken for a variety of A. ostreatus. To none of their finders did it occur to separate these species from the Leucospori and place them among the Crepidoti or the Hyporhodii. Moreover, lilac spores never occur among the Hypo- rhodii, but among the Pratelli. Fr. Hym. XIX. Agaricus (Claudopns) vari- abilis. Natural size. 487.
