119. L. fulvaster, B. Sf Cooke. Pileo orbiculari, albo, sicco fulves- 

 cente, umbilicato, glabro ; stipite gracili, glabro, concolori ; lamellis 

 angustis, dentatis. 



On dead wood. Resaca, Rio Purus, Nov. 1, 18/4 (Traill, no. 50). 



Pileus orbicular, f in. in diameter, umbilieate, at first white, but be- 

 coming, like the rest of the plant, tawny when dry ; stem slender, 

 2 in. high, about 1 line thick, smooth ; gills narrow, decurrent. 

 Varying much in size, stem sometimes almost capillary. 



120. L. furcatus, B. $ Cooke. Albus; pileo reniformi-flabellato, 

 glabro, sicco radiato-subrugoso, margi ne inflexo ; stipite brevi, hirto ; 

 lamellis tenuibus, celluloso-furcatis, dentatis, decurrentibus. 



On dead wood. Rio Solimoes, Nov. 1874 (Traill, no. 7). 



Pileus 2£ in. across, smooth, but marked with little pits and ridges ; 

 stem lateral, scarcely \ in. high, 2 lines thick, shortly hispid ; gills 

 crowded, thin, with a jagged margin, decurrent, forked, and cellular. 



If the division of the gills were carried further, the species would 

 belong to Favolus. 



121. L. compressus, B. $ Cooke. Albus ; pileo flabelliformi, radiato- 

 lineato, stipiteque brevi sursum canaliculato-compresso, velutinis- 

 lamellis tenuibus decurrentibus, laciniatis. 



On dead wood. Teffe (Traill, no. 124). 



Pileus \± in. across, flabelliform, clothed with tbin velvety down, as is 

 also the short stem (f in. high, \ thick above), which is com- 

 pressed in consequence of a depression continued from the pileus, 

 and dilated upwards, where it runs laterally into the pileus; gills 

 very thin, the edge strongly laciniate. 



122. L. albidus, Berk, in Hook. Journ. ii. (1843). 

 On a Lime tree ( Gardner).
