1 8 Mr. Stephens on Fungi of the neighbourhood of Bristol, 



Ag, papilionaceus, Bull. On dung, Stapleton, &c., not uncommon. 



Ag. Boltoni. On cow-dung, Stapleton Wood. 



Ag. radicatus, Bolt. On flower-pots in green-houses. 



Polyporus armeniacus, Schseff. On decaying branches, Leigh Wood. 



Boletus viscidus, Linn. Pileus pulvinate, scrobiculate, dirty yellow- 

 ish white, copiously covered with slime. Stem scrobiculate 

 below the ring, above the ring reticulated, the reticulations 

 formed by imperfect tubes covered with slime, and of the same 

 colour as the pileus. Flesh dingy white, with a tinge of dirty 

 yellow ; when bruised turning verdigris-green, hence B. eerugi- 

 nascens, Secretan fide Fries. Pores large, adnate, angular, 

 compound, clay-coloured. The veil is permanent, as in Boletus 

 Grevillei ; but a portion frequently remains round the edge of the 

 pileus, forming a shiny web as in the division Limaceum of 

 Agarics. A species not before detected in Britain. 



Hydnum membranaceum. Bull. On sticks, Leigh Wood. Hyd. fim- 

 briatum, Pers. Ditto. 



Hydnum fusco-atrum, Fries, Epicris. Syst. Mycolog. vol. i. p. 515, 

 No. 66. On decaying wood, Leigh Wood. 



Clavariafusiformis, Sow. Leigh Wood, &c. Not very rare. 



Leotia lubrica. Scop. Stapleton Grove. Abundant last autumn. 



Peziza granulosa, Schum. Pers. Mycolog. Europ. vol. i. p. 225, 

 No. 14. On the naked earth in a beech wood, Stapleton, sum- 

 mer. Not before detected in England. 



Pez. echinophila, Bull. Pers. Synop. p. 661, No. 97. On decaying 

 pericarps of the Castanea vesca, Cunnegar, near Dunster, So- 

 merset. I have likewise received it from Mr. Berkeley. 



Pez. claro'fiava, Grev. On a stick, Stapleton Wood. 



Pez. furfur acea. Roth. On hazel stumps, Leigh Wood. 



Phallus caninus, Hudson. My plants were not inodorous, as stated 

 by Withering, but detestably foetid. The uteri are frequently 

 found empty. Leigh Wood. 



Nidularia crucibulum and striata. Leigh Wood. 



Sphceria lateritia. Fries. On the gills of Ag. Necator, Leigh Wood, 

 this autumn. At first glueing the gills of the Agaric together 

 with a white substance, in which state it is with difliculty dis- 

 criminated. The contents of the perithecia, which are white, 

 ooze out as in its congener Sph. aurantia, giving the plant the 

 frosted appearance mentioned by Fries. The juiciness and de- 

 composition of the parent plant depends upon the original na- 

 ture of the matrix, for in my specimens the Agaric is dry and 

 shrivelled. 



Sph. fibrosa. On blackthorn, common. Sph. Trifolii, Fers. Ditto. 

 Sph. aquila, Fries. On rotten sticks, Stapleton. Sph. ovina, 

 Pers. On decaying stumps, Leigh Wood. 



Sph. pulveracea, Ehr. On dry wood, Leigh Wood. Doubtful. 



Sph. vagans, var. Rumicis. Everywhere. Sph. (Depazea) Antir- 

 rhini. Kingsdown. 



Phoma circinans. Berk. Species nova, on Yucca gloriosa. Abun- 

 dant in gardens. This plant was determined by Mr. Berkeley,
