66 DECADES OF FUNGI. 
pale yellow, or sometimes pure white. Spores elliptic with — 
one or two nuclei, mixed with a few filaments. : 
Resembling much Mitremyces fuscus, Berk. a Tasmanian | 
species. Itis, however, very much smaller, and bears nearly — 
the same relation toit that M. Junghunii does to M. lutescens. — 
The teeth have not, as in the other species, the slightest tint — 
of cinnabar. :

Spores and flocci ; highly magnified.

On the charred surface of * Black-boys.” - 
Forming little scattered tufts, peridia when solitary sub- | 
globose, but more frequently crowded, though not densely, | 
compressed and irregular, sessile, but not adnate, wrinkled, — 
white slightly furfuraceous ; flocci membranous, white, — 
spores globose, compact, jet-black; columella wanting. = 
Allied to Didymium cinercum, but far less adnate. Indeed — 
there is occasionally a spurious attempt at a stem, Some- — 
times the surface is covered with raised dots rather than - 
wrinkles. d

63. P. flavicomum, n. sp; peridio cernuo subtus umbili-

apice attenuato fusco.—JDrumm. n. 208 in part). 
On very decayed wood. 
Gregarious.  Peridia very broadly umbilicate bensai 
extremely delicate and evanescent, especially above, irides- - 
cent. Capillitium attached to the lower part of the pileus, 
without any trace of columella, forming a loose, yellow net- 
work, with the points of juncture frequently triangular.
