[114] _i. e._ when these happen to be of different hues originally, the fragments of the veil being in some places covered by those of the wrapper, in others naked. [115] Raii Syn. 2. [116] λευκὸς, _white_, and σπόρος, a _seed_. [117] _Ag. ovoides_ (Bull.), which is white, and _Ag. Cæsareus_ (Scop.), which is red, with yellow gills, belong to this division. [118] λεπὶς, a _scale_. [119] _Armilla_, a _ring_. [120] This ring seems formed by the external fibres of the stalk, which, having reached the posterior extremity of the gills, are reflected backwards to the margin of the pileus when they become attached. [121] _Limax_, a _slug_. [122] θρὶξ, a _hair_, and λῶμα, a _fringe_. [123] Not described by Vittadini among the esculent funguses of Italy, and so probably unknown there. [124] _Russulus_, red. [125] γάλα, _milk_, and ῥέω, to _flow_. [126] κλίτος, a _declivity_, and κυβὴ, a _head_. [127] δασὺς, _thick_, and φύλλον, a _leaf_. [128] καμάρα, a _vault_, and φύλλον, a _leaf_. [129] χόνδρος, a _ligament_, and ποῦς, a _foot_. [130] κόλλυβος, a _copper coin_. [131] μύκης, a _fungus_. [132] ὀμφαλὸς, _umbilicus_. [133] πλευρὸν, a _side_, and ποῦς, a _foot_. [134] ὑπὸ, _under_, and ῥόδεος, _rose-coloured_. [135] κλίτος, a _declivity_, and πῖλος, a _cap_. [136] λεπτὸς, _slender_. [137] Nola, _a little bell_. [138] ἐκκοιλόω, _to hollow out_. [139] _Cortina_, _a veil_. [140] τελαμὼν, _lint_. [141] ἱνὸς, _of a fibre_, λῶμα, a _fringe_. [142] δέρμα, a _skin_, and κυβὴ, a _head_. [143] Pratum, a _pasture_. [144] ψάλιον, a _ring_. [145] κόπρος, _dung_. [146] κάνθαρος, a _cup_. [147] πολὺς, _many_, and πόρος, a _pore_. [148] βῶλος, a _ball_. [149] Named from the _fistulous_ nature of the hymenium. [150] ὕδνον, a _truffle_, etc. [151] _Clava_, a _club_. [152] Name Latinized from the German _Bofist_. [153] They are reproduced in these rings about the same time every year, the circle continuing to enlarge till it breaks up at last into irregular lines, which is a sure sign to the collector that the _Prunulus_ is about to disappear from that place, just as the presence of an unbroken ring is conclusive of a plentiful harvest the next spring. [154] These lobes, formed by the constriction of the pileus, whilst emerging from the roots of the grass, are sometimes so much strangulated as to present the appearance of small stalkless Agarics growing from the large, and projecting from their sides like ears. [155] That is, connected by a tooth to the end of the stalk, and not running down it. [156] The _Prunulus_ is much prized in the Roman market, where it easily fetches 30 baiocchi, _i. e._ 15_d._ per lb.; a large sum for any luxury at Rome. It is sent in little baskets as presents to patrons, fees to medical men, and bribes to Roman lawyers. When dried, it constitutes the so-called “Funghi di Genoa,” which are sold on strings throughout Italy.
