          CHART OF GENERA IN WHITE SPORED SERIES LEUCOSPORAE.




                               =AMANITA.=

      (A name given to some esculent fungi by Galen, perhaps from
                             Mount Amanus.)


Universal veil (volva), which is at first continuous (completely
enveloping the young plant), distinct from the skin of the cap.
Hymenophore or cap, the part which bears the spore-bearing surface,
distinct and easily separable from the stem, which leaves a socket in
the flesh when it is removed. _All growing upon the ground._ _Fries._

                              (Plate VII.)

[Illustration: SECTION OF AMANITA PHALLOIDES.]

=Pileus= somewhat fleshy, convex then expanded. =Gills= free. Universal
veil at first enclosing the entire plant, which as it grows bursts
through, generally carrying the upper part on the pileus, where it
appears as patches or scales, the remainder enclosing the stem at the
base as a volva, either in a cup-like form, closely adherent or friable
and evanescent. The partial veil in youth extends from the stem to the
margin of the pileus, enclosing the gills; when ruptured it depends from
the stem as a ring. =Stem= furnished with a ring, and different in
substance from that of the pileus. =Spores= white.
