ochre.

Under the York gum trees. 
Cespitose. Pileus 3-9 inches across, yellow brown, con- 
vex, very thick and fleshy, compact, with a very minute, 
mealy pubescence, especially near the margin. Stem 24 
inches high, 3 of an inch thick above, attenuated below, 
marked with flat, minute, transverse scales. Mycelium 
white, reticulate. Gills of a fine yellow, thick, scarcely at all 
ventricose, slightly decurrent, sparingly forked, separating 
from the pileus. Spores large, oblong, colourless, at least 
when dry. Antheridia conical, giving the gills a pubescent 
appearance. 
32. Cantharellus viscosus, n. sp.; pulcherrime flavus ; pileo 
infundibuliformi repando subundulato viscoso ; stipite deor- 
sum attenuato flavo-pruinoso; plicis lamelliformibus furcatis 
decurrentibus ; sporis lete ochraceis.— Drumm. n. 114. 
On the ground, amongst little twigs, &c. 
Whole plant of a beautiful yellow. Pileus 1j inch across, 
infundibuliform with the margin, repand, subcarnose. Stem 
l inch high, gradually increasing towards the part where the 
gills are given off, where it is 1-3rd of an inch thick, attached 
by a white anastomosing mycelium to twigs, &c., covered 
above with yellow meal. Folds decurrent, gill-like, but 
rather thick forked. Spores of a bright ochre, oblique under 
the microscope, of a beautiful golden yellow. 
A very beautiful species, of which I have seen only a single 
Specimen, accompanied fortunately by notes. It agrees in 
the colour of its spores with Cortinarius, but is distinguished — 
at once by its thick, lamellar processes. I do not know any
