pierced, with a frayed ring like a Telamonia, above the ring yellow (1 4)

— Spores brown, smooth, ellipsoidal, the greater part 8—9X5 /u, a few
10—11X5.5 [u and very few 7X4.5 /u. No coronate cystidia, but edge

Pileus 4-6 cm broad, at íirst conical, then expanded with a con-

rusty. — Spores broadly ellipsoidal or
ovoid, sligthly curved, smooth, brown, 1- to 3-guttulate, 10—16.5X6—8 fi.
