I had made these with my own hands, and styled them on the Ethiopian model of beauty, full and floccose. ❋ Smith, Wilbur, 1933- (1993)
(New South Wales), Autun, etc., boghead have shown us merely a yellowish-brown amorphous mass holding in suspension lens-shaped or radiating floccose masses which it is scarcely possible to refer to any known vegetable organism. ❋ Various (N/A)
+Cap+ bright yellowish or orange color, 3 to 7 inches broad, convex, then flattened, gibbous, that is, more convex on one side than on the other; viscid, covered with woolly (floccose) scales, which often separate. ❋ Caroline A. Burgin (N/A)
[Footnote 1: On rotten wood.] [Footnote 2: A floccose ring.] [Footnote 3: At first, adpressed to stem.] [Footnote 4: Top shaped.] ❋ Caroline A. Burgin (N/A)
White floccose scales on cap (var. coroniferum) and appendiculate veil; caps whitish or brown, tawny, or tinge of ochre. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
The = stem = is straight or ascending, even, very floccose scaly as the pileus is unrolled from it, scales same color as the pileus, the scales running transversely, being separated perhaps by the elongation of the stem so that numerous floccose rings are formed, showing the white flesh of the stem between. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
The = gills = are free, or are only attached by the upper inner angle; the edges are often floccose where they are torn from the slight union with the upper surface of the veil. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
The = veil = is floccose and quite thick when the plant is young. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
In some cases the volva is probably thinner than in others, and with the rapid expansion of the pileus in wet weather the scales would be smaller, or more floccose. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
The = stem = is cylindrical, even, hollow or stuffed, whitish or gray and very slightly enlarged at the base into a small rounded bulb which is quite constant and characteristic, and at first is covered on its upper margin by the floccose matter from the volva. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
Frequently parts of the cap, the entire stem and the gills are covered with a white, crumbly, floccose substance of a mealy consistency which often sticks to the hands or other objects. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
= -- Present or absent, persistent or disappearing, whether it splits at apex or is circumscissile, or all crumbly and granular or floccose, whether the part on the pileus forms warts, and then the kind, distribution, shape, persistence, etc. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
These floccose scales are formed as a result of the separation of the annulus from the outer layer of the stem. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
Sometimes there are no blackish pointed scales anywhere on the cap, only loose floccose colored scales, or in some forms the cap is entirely smooth. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
The stem is fleshy to fibrous, the same color as the pileus, floccose scaly more or less up to the veil, smooth or white pruinose above the veil, straight or curved, somewhat striate below. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
Cap orange-brown or ochraceous rufus, viscid; floccose scales on stem same color (natural size). ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
The = stem = is cylindrical, even, or slightly tapering upward, hollow or stuffed, not bulbous, smooth, or with mealy particles or prominent floccose scales. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
There are very few evidences of the volva on the stem since the volva is so floccose and torn into loose fragments, most of which remain on the surface of the cap. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
As the veil is split off from the surface of the stem, the latter is torn into numerous floccose scales, as shown in Fig. 59. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
The gills are said to be of one color and the ring floccose, viscose, and evanescent in drying. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
