DECADES OF FUNGI. 45 
Has. On dead wood. Darjeeling, 6-9,000 feet. Abundant. 
May to July. ; 
Pileus infundibuliform, 2-3 inches across, marked with two or three 
impressed zones when dry, clothed with cinnamon-coloured strigose 
bristles, which at length become tawny. Stem 11-2 inches high, 2 an 
inch thick, rather irregular, swollen at the spongy base, subcinereous Å 
when fresh, of a dull tawny when dry, strigose-velvety below, more ; 
finely velvety above, especially at the termination of the gills, which 
become smooth abruptly. Gills pale yellow, very narrow, entire, de- 
current, not by any means thick or obtuse. T 
This species differs from Z. Lecomtei and L. strigosus in its narrow 
gills, in this point agreeing with Z. velutinus and L. setiger, Lév., but 
the coat is coarser than in the former, and not formed of two kinds of 
setze as in the latter. The gills are álso more delicate than in either. 
It is not so graceful a fungus as L. velutinus, and, unlike L. Lecomtei, 
has no tendency to be excentric. | 
323. L. coadunatus, Hook. fil. ; cæspitosus ; pileo infundibuliformi 
sicco tenui albo opaco glabro; stipitibus basi coadunatis furfuraceis 
æqualibus cavis; lamellis angustis tenuibus utrinque attenuatis de- 
currentibus. Hook. fil., No. 68, cum ic. 
Has. On dead wood. Darjeeling, 7,500 feet. June, July. Frequent. 
Inodorous, rather delicate, soft when young, leathery when old, 
densely tufted.  Pileus 23-4 inches across, infundibuliform, smooth, 
thin, opake-white, especially when dry. Stems united at the base, 
equal, 1-23 inches high, + of an inch thick, tinged with rufous, 
hollow. Gills marrow, pale, attenuated at either end, thin, strongly 
decurrent. 4 
This species resembles Z. Zeucochrous, and L. cladopus, Lév., agreeing 
with the former in its opake appearance, and with the 1 ter in its 
branched stem; but it is a larger species than either, and, thougl 
closely connected, distinct, differing from the former in its stem, from - 
the latter in its milky-white pileus. Fortunately, I have authentic | 
specimens of both species. As Léveillés two Lentini have been seen 
only when dry, itis impossible to say whether they have a hollow 
stem, as in the present case. — 
324. L. hepaticus, n. s.; pileo convexo-explanato udo glabro hepa- - 
tico; stipite brevi æquali solido obscuro intus substantiaque | pilei 
pallide rubro; lamellis confertis integris postice rotundatis albis de- 
mum hic illic incarnatis. Hook. fil., No. 53, cum ic, :
