The species grow
on or near trunks, appear early, and last until late in the season.
+ENTOLOMA = within and fringe.+
This genus resembles Tricholoma, which belongs to the white-spored
Agarics and Hebeloma, which is rosy-spored. The species grow on the
ground, and are found chiefly after rain. The stem is fleshy or fibrous,
soft, sometimes waxy. The cap has the margin incurved, the gills have a
tooth (sinuate), and are adnexed to the stem. Some species smell of
fresh meal.
SECTION 3. OCHROSPORAE, BROWN OR OCHRACEOUS SPORES.
+CORTINARIUS = a veil.+
This genus has a veil resembling a cobweb. The gills generally become
cinnamon-colored. They grow on the ground in woods, during late summer
and autumn. Some of our most beautiful mushrooms belong to this group.
The veil is not persistent, and soon disappears.
+PHOLIOTA = a scale.+
This genus mostly grows on trunks. The partial or secondary veil takes
the form of a ring. The cap is often covered with scales.
+INOCYBE = fibre and head.
