Clitopilus corresponds with Clito- cybe, and differs from Entoloma as Clitocybe differs from XV. Agaricus {Clitopilus) pruiui- lus. One-third natural size. II. Sericelli (slightly silky). I. Orcelli (A, Orcella). Gills deeply decur- rent. Pileus irregular, somewhat excentric, Jlexuous, scarcely hygrophanous, margin at first flocc u lose. Pileus regular, silky or hygrophanous-silky, margin involute, naked. Gills adnate, slightly decurrent. I.—Orcelli. 444. A. prunulus Scop.—Pileus 5-10 cent. (2-4 in.) broad, white or more rarely becoming cinereous, truly fleshy, compact, convex then flattened, and at length depressed and repand or unequal, delicately pnmiate, hence the surface is unpolished and dry; flesh thick, white, unchangeable. Stem cent, (i in.) and more long, about 12 mm. {yi in.) thick, solid, firm, somewhat ventricose, naked, often striate, white, villous at the base. Gills deeply decurrent, attenuated at both ends and chiefly behind, sojnewhat distant, quite entire, white then flesh-colour. The pileus is always firm, never viscid, and not zoned or spotted. The gills are less crowded than those of A. Orcella. Odour pleasant, of fiew meal. There is a white variety {Quel. t. 3 and Orcella/. 2), which forms a connecting link with A. Orcella. A. prunulus Viviani t. 3 represents A. graveolens. In woods and open ground. Common. July-Oct. It has been reckoned among the most delici
