Stem equal or attenuat- ed, externally more rigid, elastic or brittle, internally stuffed or hollow. Veil single, fibrillose, forming a zone in C. caninus. A natural group, easily distinguished from Inolomata by the tJiinness and substance of the pileus and by the stem; and from the following subgenera by the pileus not being nioist or hygropha?ious, and by its shortfloccose or atomate cover- ing, its brighter colour, &°c. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 366. The species of this subgenus are very changeable, and not easily de- fined on account of the changeable colour of the gills. It com- prehends two primary types; first that of C. anonialus with the flesh of the pileus white, and secondly that of C. cinnamomeus with the flesh scissile and coloured. Fr. Monogr. ii. p. XLIII.
