KOTES ON THE MYCOLOGY OF KELVINGROVE PARK. 77 



Cantharellus ciharius, Fr., growing on the Kelvin bank behind 

 the Museum. Professor King and I found it about 1890, I think, 

 on a tree on the banks of the Kelvin, opposite the Botanic 

 Gardens, near the new bridge. 



Merulius lachrymans, Fr., or Dry-rot, attacked the flooring of 

 the Museum in 1887, but with some trouble and expense it was 

 extirpated apparently, for it has not reappeared. 



Agaricus[L€piota)aciUesquariiosiis,y^QV!im.,\^ a rare species found 

 this year among the shrubbery on the north bank of the Kelvin, 

 near the iron bridge. It is a beautiful plant, regularly marked 

 with twisted sharp-pointed scales when young, developing into 

 regular squarrose patches, and showing the white between as it 

 grows older. Mr. Macgregor, of Paisley, sent me a specimen in 

 the latter condition last month, w^hieh he had found crrowins: on 

 the floor of his dye work. These are the only specimens I have 

 seen, though Professor King told me he had found it once. Dr. 

 Stevenson calls acutesquamosus " a most distingtiished species." 



Agaricus {Tricholoma) gamhosus, Fr., St. George's Mushroom, 

 was found this year above the ladies' waiting-room. It is a spring 

 species, and said to be common in England. I had never found it 

 before. 



Agaricus (Tricholoma) suhpulverulentus, Pers., an uncommon 

 one, was found in 1884. 



Agaricus {Nolanea) pisciodorus^ Ces., with a strong fishy smell, we 

 have found once or twice elsewhere, but it is not a common species. 



Agaricus (Fholiota) aureus, Miill., a beautiful golden-tawny 

 species, was found in 1888 and 1889 in the shrubbery near the 

 entrance to the nursery grounds. The only record for it in Dr. 

 Stevenson's British Fungi is Dumfries Show of the Cryptogamic 

 Society. As the alteration of the ground in connection with the 

 building of the Prince of Wales's Bridge has covered up the site, 

 I am afraid we have little hope of again seeing this beautiful and 

 rare species. 



Agaricus (Pholiota) togularis, Bull., is given as rare by Dr. 

 Stevenson. It is remarkable for the ring, which is entire and 

 hangs down like a cloak, from which it gets its name (fogula, a 

 little cloak). 



Agaricus {Pholiota) spectahilis, Fr., is not rare, but it is not 

 common, and is a very handsome species when it appears in good 

 condition.
