785. Agaricus (Lepiota) gliodermus, Er. Hymenomycetes, p. 31. 

 Amongst sticks, &c. Wothorpe Grove, Stamford, Aug. 1857, 

 M.J.B. 



A very beautiful species, of which we have a figure copied 

 from the collection of drawings of Hymenomycetes now depo- 

 sited by Fries in the Swedish Museum at Stockholm. 



786. A. (Tricholoma) bufonius, Fr. Ep. p. 40 (Bull. t. 545. 

 f. 2). Coed Coch, Denbighshire, Nov. 1858, Mrs. Wynne. 



This interesting addition to our flora was made by Mrs. 

 Wynne, of Coed Coch, who has been induced to study the 

 Agarics in consequence of the beauty and profusion in which 

 they are produced in her neighbourhood. 



787. A. (Tricholoma) cinerascens, Bull. t. 428. f. 2. In 

 woods. Mossburnford (Jedburgh), Aug. 1857, A. Jerdon, Esq. 



Csespitose ; pileus 2-3 inches across, convex, of a dirty pale 

 ochre, slightly streaked with watery lines, firm but not brittle, 

 clothed with very obscure matted down ; flesh thin, white. Stem 

 curved, slightly streaked, tinged like the pileus, paler above and 

 slightly pulverulent, solid, stringy. Gills moderately distant, 

 at first attenuated behind, at length rounded and easily sepa- 

 rating, as in Paxillus involutus, white or very slightly ochraceous, 

 stained like the pileus when old and bruised, very slightly ana- 

 stomosing behind. Spores certainly not cinereous. Smell rather 

 disagreeable, pungent ; the stem, however, when broken, smells 

 like new meal. 



788. A. (Mycena) j^elliculosus, Fr. Ep. p. 116. Mossburn- 

 ford, Oct. 25, 1858, A. Jerdon, Esq. 



Remarkable amongst its allies for the viscid separable cuticle, 



789. A. (Entoloma) Placenta, Batsch, f. 18; Fr. Ep. p. 144. 

 On the ground in pastures. Swanage, Dorsetshire, Oct. 1857, 

 C.E.B. 



790. A. (Entoloma) elodes, Fr. Ep. p. 144. On heathy pas- 

 tures. Denbighshire, M. J. B. 



Pileus and stems livid. Smell like that of fresh meal.
