BERKELEY S TYPES OF FUNGI. 501 
Humaria salmonicolor, Sace. Syll. viii. n. 470; Massee, Brit. 
Fungus-Flora, iv. p. 420. 
Damp ground, sides of ditches, &e. Woodnewton, England 
(Berkeley). 
Characterized by the clavate asci and 2-seriate spores. 
PEZIZA EXIDIIFORMIS, Berk. $ Broome, in Ann. & Mag. Nat. 
Hist. ser. IV. vol. xv. (1875) p. 37 ; Cooke, Mycogr. p. 34, fig. 60. 
Gregarious or crowded, sessile, but attached by a narrowed 
base, closed at first, becoming almost plane, often more or less 
wavy, rather fleshy, and inclined to be gelatinous when moist, up 
to 4 mm. across, entirely dingy purple, glabrous, dise marked 
with anastomosing ribs or wrinkles; excipulum and cortex 
parenchymatous, cells polygonal, 12-18 4 diameter; asci cylin- 
drieal, apex somewhat truncate, not becoming blue with iodine, 
250-260 x 12-14 u; spores 8, obliquely 1-seriate, continuous, 
byaline, smooth, broadly elliptical, ends obtuse, often 2-guttulate, 
15-17 x10 u; paraphyses filiform, apex slightly clavate. 
Humaria exidiiformis, ace. Syll. viii. n. 468; Massee, Brit. 
Fungus-Flora, iv. p. 418. 
On silver sand, Cork (Saunders). On rotten wood, Stannage 
Park, England (Broome). 
I consider the present species as belonging to the Bulgaria, 
genus Ombrophila. The ascophore is narrowed into a stem-like 
base, is of a subgelatinous consistency when moist. 
PgzizA DECOLORANS, Berk. $ Curt. in Grevillea, vol. iii. 
(1875) p. 150; Cooke, Mycogr. p. 149, fig. 253; Sace. Syll. viii. 
no. 329. 
Sessile, obovate and closed at first, then expanding until 
broadly and shallowly funnel-shaped, somewhat cartilaginous, 
thin, margin usually persistently incurved ; disc even, externally 
remarkably wrinkled or rugulose, entirely white at first, becom- 
ing pallid; $-13 em. across; hypothecium and excipulum formed 
of stout, intricately interwoven hyphe, which pass into a pseudo- 
parenchymatous cortex; asci cylindrical, apex obtuse and not 
at all blue with iodine, about 320 x 16-17 u; spores 8, 18-208 u, 
elliptical, smooth, continuous, hyaline, often 2-guttulate; para- 
physes slender, slightly thickened upwards. 
On the ground. Alabama, U.S.A. (Peters, n. 6059). 
Remarkable for being entirely white at first, and for the 
strongly wrinkled exterior of the ascophore. Thetype specimens,
