THREE ADDITIONS TO THE FUNGI OF NEW SOUTH 



WALES. 



By D. McAlpine.

(Plate xiii., figs. 9-13.) 



The three species of Fungi here recorded are new for New South 

 Wales. Two of them have hitherto been found in Victoria, and 

 one of these is also a BraziHan form. The species of Stilhum, 

 found upon dead insects are few in number, only four being given 

 in Saccardo's Universal Index of Fungi, 1897, and their distribu- 

 tion is very varied — one belonging to N. America, another to the 

 Tropics, a third to France, and a fourth to Australia. 



The species of Stilhum, found on dead wood among moss had no 

 reproductive bodies, but it is otherwise fully described in the 

 hope that it may yet be found in the reproductive stage.
