358 Rev. M. J. Berkeley on British Fungi. 



Sherwood Forest, Notts. Grace Dieu Wood, Leic. Found 

 by myself and Mr. C. Babington. 



Forming large entirely resupinate effused patches several 

 inches long and broad. Distinguished from every state of M. 

 tremellosus by the total absence of a pileus, its thinness and 

 its minute pores. 



*152. Thelephora tabacina, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 437. (non 

 Sowerbei.) Abundant in Grace Dieu Wood upon dead hazel 

 stems. Auricularia tabacina, Sow., as I have ascertained from 

 an inspection of the very specimens figured, is Thelephora 

 spadicea, Fr. I have seen an authentic specimen of Persoon's 

 T.tabacina, Myc. Eur. p. 118, in M.Desmazieres's Herbarium, 

 which is undoubtedly T. spadicea, Fr., with the following note 

 in the handwriting of Persoon attached to it : " On confonde- 

 roit volontiers cette espece avec le T. hirsuta en ayant le me"me 

 port, mais la couleur est constamment ferrugineuse, et la vil- 

 losite deprimee." I cannot find any separate notice of T. spa- 

 dicea either in the ' Synopsis ' or e Myc. Eur/ 



*153. T. lactescens, Berk. Eng. Fl. vol. v. part 2. p. 169. 

 This appears from an authentic specimen in M. Desmazieres's 

 Herbarium to be T. salicina, Pers. Myc. Eur. 1. p. 132, a spe- 

 cies referred by Fries in his ' Index Alphabeticus' doubtfully to 

 T. mollis. It should seem, however, to be very different. The 

 species is common, and occurs on various kinds of wood. 



154. Clavaria flaccida, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 471. Klotzsch 

 exs. n. 122. King's Cliffe. 



155. C. rufa, Fl.Dan. t. 775. f. 1. Abundant at Tansor, 

 Norths., in a grass field. My specimens accord exactly with 

 what is figured in Fl. Dan., except that the tint is not so deep. 

 It appears a very distinct species. 



156. Peziza (Al. Helv. Pust.) succosa, n. s. Media, integra, 

 sessilis, hemisphaerica, pallide cereo-brunnea, extus pallidior, 

 margine inflexo ; carne flavo-succosa. On the naked ground 

 in woods, generally dispersed, but seldom abundant. Cup one 

 inch in diameter, hemispherical or subglobose, with the mar- 

 gin incurved ; within of a pale waxy brown, without paler and 

 mealy. The flesh when broken pours out a yellow juice. 

 Asci elongated, slightly flexuous, containing eight elliptic spo- 

 ridia, each of which contains two sporidiola. Paraphyses linear. 



Tab. X. fig. 5. P. succosa, nat. size; 6, vertical section; 7, asci and 

 paraphysis; 8, sporidium. 



*157. P. furfur acea, Roth, Cat. Bot. 2. p. 257. A small 

 variety only of this is mentioned in Eng. Fl. Mr. C. Babing- 

 ton finds the state figured by Roth very abundant on twigs 

 of alder at Thringstone, Leic.
