Cooking (Mushrooms); Edible mushrooms -- North America; Fungi -- North America; Mushrooms; Mushrooms, Poisonous -- North America

In this genus occurs the famed M. oreades, the Mousseron of France, the
Champignon and Scotch bonnet of England, the Fairy-ring mushroom of
America.

                          ANALYSIS OF TRIBES.

              COLLYBIA (inclining to Collybia). Page 223.

=Flesh= of pileus pliant, at length rather leathery, grooved or
wrinkled, margin incurved at first. =Stem= somewhat cartilaginous;
mycelium woolly, absent in some species.

             _A._ SCORTEI (_scorteus_, leathery). Page 223.

Stem solid or stuffed, then hollow, fibrous within, outside covered with
down. Gills separating from the stem, free.

* Base of stem woolly or strigose.

** Stem naked at the base, often interwoven with twisted fibers.

             _B._ TERGINI (_terginus_, leathery). Page 225.

Stem rooting, distinctly _tubular_, not _fibrous_, distinctly
_cartilaginous_. Gills receding then free. Pileus thinner than in the
preceding group, hygrophanous, even or with the margin striate.

* Stem woolly below, smooth above.

** Stem when dry covered with velvety down.

        _C._ CALOPODES (_Gr_—beautiful; _Gr_—a foot). Page 226.

Stem short, not rooting, often with a floccose or downy, tubercular
base. Pileus convex, involute, then plane and more or less depressed, in
which state the gills typically adnate are subdecurrent. On twigs,
branches, etc. Gregarious.

* Stem quite smooth above, shining, base not swollen.

** Stem covered with velvety down, rather swollen at the base.


                MYCENA (inclining to Mycena). Page 227.

Stem horny, hollow, often filled with pith, tough, dry. Mycelium
rooting, not floccose. Pileus somewhat membranaceous, bell-shaped, then
expaned, margin at first straight and pressed to the stem.


              _A._ CHORDALES (_chorda_, a gut). Page 227.

Stem rigid, rooting or dilated at the base. Pileus bell-shaped or
convex. Type manifestly that of Mycena.


                _B._ ROTULÆ (_rotula_, a little wheel).

Stem thread-like, flaccid, base not dilated or floccose but appearing to
enter the matrix abruptly. Pileus soon becoming plane or umbilicate. On
leaves.

* Stem quite smooth, shining.

** Stem minutely velvety or hairy.


                  APUS (_a_, without; _pous_, a foot).

Pileus sessile, resupinate.

                             I.—COLLY´BIA.

                             _A._ SCORTEI.

* _Stem woolly or strigose at base._


=M. u´rens= Fr.—_uro_, to burn. =Pileus= 2–3 in. broad, unicolorous,
pale yellowish, _becoming pale_, slightly fleshy, _moderately compact at
the disk, even_, but here and there scaly or cracked in wavy lines when
dry, smooth, the thin margin involute. =Stem= 2–3 in. long, 3 lines
thick, _solid_, composed of crisp tough fibers, rigid, equal, sometimes
however ventricose, ½ in. thick, _everywhere clothed with white flocci,
pale_, white-downy at the base. =Gills= free, united behind, _at length
remote_ from the stem, _distant_, tough, at first pale-wood-color, _then
brown_.
