NEW SCOTTISH FUNGI. 



JUST a year has passed since we called attention to certain additions to 

 the Mycological Flora of Scotland included in the " Notices of British 

 Fungi," published in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History by 

 Messrs Berkeley & Broome, and now we have again to welcome another 

 instalment from the pens of the same authors. This, which appears in the 

 Annals for February, includes about 130 additions to the British list, of 

 which about 72 are from Scotland. Last year we pointed out that the 

 district in Scotland from which these species came was comparatively a 

 small one, and included in five counties. The district examined is still a 

 small one, though a little more extensive than the previous one. To show, 

 however, what has been done we extract (by Mr. Berkeley's kind permis- 

 sion) the references on Scottish Fungi, giving at the same time a few notes 

 — included within brackets [ ] — on certain of the species. 



We would take this opportunity of tendering, in the name of all 

 students of Scottish Mycology, our thanks to Messrs Berkeley & Broome 

 for the great kindness they have shown to all of us who have applied to 

 them for assistance. 



1502. Agaricus (Armillaria) robustus, A. & S. ; Fr. Ep. p. 41. Rannoch, 

 Perthshire, Dr. Buchanan White. Agreeing closely with Krombholz's- 

 figure. Flesh very firm ; taste and smell exactly that of Polyporus 

 squamosus. 



1503. A. (Tricholoma) loricatus, Fr. Ep. p. 60. In woods. Viscid. 

 Glamis, Rev. J. Stevenson. Remarkable for the thick coat of the pileus. 



1504. A. (Tricholoma) virgatus, Fr. Ep. p. 62 ; Icon. tab. 34, fig. r_ 

 Forres, Rev. J. Keith. 



1506. A. (Tricholoma) militaris, Lasch.; Fr. Ep. p. 71. Glamis, Rev. 

 J. Stevenson. 



151 1. A. (Clitocybe) expallens, Fr. Ep. p. 100. Glamis, Rev. J. 

 Stevenson. 



1 5 16. A. (Mycena) aiiranlio-marginatns, Fr. Ep. p. 131 ; Fl. Dan. tab. 

 1292, fig. 2. Near Perth, Dr. Buchanan 'White, Nov. I, 1875. This is- 

 a most interesting addition to our list of Fungi. It is admirably figured in 

 the "Flora Danica," and has a peculiar aspect which separates it from 

 other species, looking more like a Marasmius than a Mycena. Stem very 

 brittle, fistulose. Smell strong. Margin striate. 



1517. A. (Mycena) excisus, Lasch.; Fr. Ic. tab. 81, fig. 1. Glamis,. 

 Rev. J. Stevenson.
