squamules-flocks the colour of which is similar to that of the pileus; only the young rings are contiguous, later only in traces visible ; at the base of the stem occasionally with white rhizoids. Flesh white, it is rosy-brownish only in the crust of the stem of older specimens; inside the stem tubular-fibrous. Without smell or smelling a little of fruit. Spores elliptic or slightly almond-shaped, measuring 7-9,3-(10) x 4,5-5,4 p. Cheilocystidia club-spindle-cylinder-shaped, 22-30-(35) x 7-10 p. Basidia 4-spored, measuring 18-27 x 6-8,5 p. The cells of the cuticle resemble those of L. subincarnata, light brownish-yellowish, elongately cylindriform, terminally rounded or slightly tapering, measuring up to 15 it in thickness, are provided with clamp. Following its first author this species was described and excellently illustrated by LANGE (1935, Pl. 12/D), then by KÜHNER (1936, 1937 Pl. 74. Fig. 1 ). Its rare occurrence has been reported from Finland by RAUTAVAARA (1947), from Czechoslovakia by PILÂT (1951, 1969) and WICHANSKY (1961b), and from Germany by EINHELLINGER (1973).

Description : Pileus 1,4—3 cm in diameter; when young hemisphericalconvex, then gibbously expanded ; first bright orange-rusty, with a dark brown velvety coating, later ornamented with rust-coloured squamae towards the margin, and only the middle portion remains brown and smooth; the older specimens may be more strongly decorated with matted squamae, may even become nude. In the herbarium material the bright orange-colour disappears. Gills free; whitish to dirty cream-coloured ; 1,5—2 mm wide. Stem 2,5—4,5x0,2—0,4 cm; equal; in the upper part whitish or with a shade of wine-reddish colour, the under 1/2—2/3 part is decorated on brownish ground with orange-coloured fibrilles-flocks; at the base white rhizoids are visible. It has no ring, the cortina is white, it is ephemeral. In juvenile state the flesh in the pileus is white, in the crust of the stem orange, in the case of the older fruit-bodies it becomes wine-reddish to brownish in the pileus and in the crust of the stem ; inside the stem it consists of loose whitish fibres. The fresh specimens have no smell, but smelling a little disagreable on the subseLepiota fulvella REA (Fig. 4) Fig. 4. Lepiota fulvella (natural size) and spores (1000 x)
