Rev. M. J. Berkeley on British Fungi. 357 



of Coldstream in his attempt to ascertain the Fungi of Ber- 

 wickshire." 



Tab. X. fig. 1. A. Bellice; 2, vertical section ; 3, transverse section of 

 the stem magnified ; 4, spores highly magnified. 



*144. A.pyxidatus, Bull. Abundant on the lawn before 

 the Earl of Westmoreland's house at Apethorpe. It is to be 

 observed that the specimens published in the First* Fasciculus 

 of dried Fungi under this name, are A. umbelliferus, L., a 

 very different and common species, of which several forms are 

 described in Eng. Fl. I do not know by what accident the 

 name was substituted. 



145. A. lampropus, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 203. Common in 

 pastures. 



146. A. serrulatus, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 204. Ross-shire. 

 Mr. Churchill Babington. Remarkable for its black-margined 

 serrated gills. 



147. A, echinatus, Roth. Cat. 2. t. 9. f. 1. A. fumoso-pur- 

 pureus, Lasch in Linnaea. My A. hamatophyllus is undoubt- 

 edly this species, as also A. oxyosmus, Mont, in Ann. d. Sc. 

 Nat. The spores are sometimes abortive and colourless, which 

 circumstance led me to place it in Lepiota. Fries in his ' Epi- 

 crisis' says, " Sporidia ex Lasch brunnescenti-spadicea, sed e 

 fundo variant ; in albo fusco-virent ! in nigro argillaceo-albi- 

 cant, hinc Amic. Berkeley per litt. nuperius retulit se legisse 

 similem Leucosporum, i. e. analogiam offeret cum duplici A. 

 cepcestipite" My plants, though differing from the cause above- 

 mentioned as to the colour of the spores, were evidently of the 

 same species. 



148. A, cretaceus, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 280. non Bulliardi. 

 A single specimen was found in the present summer by Mr. 

 J. Henderson in a hot-house at Milton. Distinguished from 

 A. campestris by its gills, which remain for a long time white, 

 and are at length rose-coloured. By which circumstance, again, 

 it is distinguished from A, excoriatus, which it somewhat re- 

 sembles. 



149. A. ericceus, Pers., Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 291. Common 

 in exposed pastures after rain. Summer and autumn. 



1 50. A. sterquilinus, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 308. King's ClifFe. 

 Gills entirely destitute of utricles. 



151. Merulius pattens, n. s. Totus effusus, tenuis, non se- 

 parabilis, pallido-rubidus, carnoso-subgelatinosus, plicis pori- 

 formibus, margine indeterminato. On fallen decayed branches. 



* I am happy to be able to state that the second edition of the First Fas- 

 ciculus appeared on the 1st of November. The only species I have not been 

 able to procure again is Stilbum pilifonne.
