rioribus adnatis ex antheridiis candidis micantibus. Tvvycross, 

 Warw., Nov. 21, 1851, Rev. A. Bloxam. 



Pileus scarcely half an inch across, conico-campanulate, cine- 

 reous, shining, with dark brown silky subfasciculate hairs, the 

 ends of which are free; disc subsquamulose, margin straight. 

 Stem about an inch high, not 1 line thick, equal, fistulose, spadiceo- 

 tomentose, substrigose ; gills ventricose, distant, cinereous, darker 

 behind, adnate, glittering with the white antheridia. Spores 

 oblong, ventricose on the outer side, rather irregular, sometimes 

 with a distinct septum. 



A very curious little species, which also occurs in North 

 America. The form of the spores is peculiar, resembling that of 

 some Eunotia. The species will be figured in the ^ History of 

 Leicestershire,' about to be published, but without the analysis 

 which is given in our plate.

^A. (Pholiota) aurivelluSj Batsch. On ash, Woodnewton, 

 Sept. 1852. 



This species was introduced into the English flora on the 

 authority of the quotation of Bolton's figure by Fries. We are 

 glad therefore to confirm its claims to a place in our flora.
