downwards light rosy to wine-reddish ; covered or belt-like ornamented with white floccules; the ring is generally not visible, occasionally, however, a membranaceous ring occurs; the stem with white rhizoids at the base. In the pileus the flesh is white; in the crust of the stem light rosy to wine-reddish or brownish, inside the stem loosely fibrous, whitish. Taste and.smell not characteristic. Spores elliptic, measuring (5,4)—6—7,5—(8)x3,2 —4,2—(4,7) p. Basidia 4-spored; measuring 18—25x6—7,8 p. Cheilocystidia cylindrical to club-shaped, measuring 28—31X 7—-9,3 p. The cells of the cuticle are pale brownish-yellow, elongately cylindrical, terminally rounded or slightly tapering, measuring up to 14 p in thickness, with a clamp at the base. This species grows in different habitats but usually on stirred up soil. It is easy to recognize. In Europe it is rather rare (LANGE 1935, PILÂT 1951 and 1969, KÜHNER & RoMAGNESi 1953, ROMAGNESI 1961, BRESINSKY & STANGL 1971, WASSER 1971, etc.).

Description : Pileus 2—5,5—(7,5) cm in diameter; when young hemispherical, then convex, expanded, finally even depressed, more or less gibbous ; in the case of young specimens covered with wine-reddish-brown, purple-brown velvetiness, squamules and squamae on whitish-brownish ground, later the squamae disrupt and only the middle of the pileus remaines velvety (the pileus of the specimen collected in Ságvári Park was coarsely squamous) ; also the basic colour of the pileus may be spottily rosy to wine-reddish ; occasionally with fragments of veils at the margin. Gills free; white, with a shade of creamy; 3—6—(14) mm wide. Stem 2,5—5,5—(6) X 0,4—0,8—(1,2) cm ; stout, mostly equal ; the upper part white, sericeously shining, floccose; the under 1/2—2/3 part is rosy ornamented with Lepiota brunneo-incarnata CHOD. et MART.
