TUBAEIA. 121 



Agaricus (Crepidotus) ckimnophilus, Berk. & Br., in Berk. 

 Outl., p. 164; Cke., Hdbk., p. 191 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 515a. 



On small dead branches of Pyrus torminalis. Gregarious. 

 Known amongst the small white species by the villous pileus 

 and few, distant gills. 



Crepidotus rubi. Berk. 



Pileus about J in. across, fleshy, convex-plane, margin in- 

 curved, dingy pale yellowish tan, covered with very minute 

 crystalline meal ; gills adnato-decurrent, rather broad, 

 greyish then umber, slightly ventricose ; stem about 2-3 

 lines long, incurved, solid, pallid, strigose at the base. 



Agaricus (Crepidotus) ruhi, Berk., Outl., p. 164, t. 9, f. 7 ;. 

 Cke., Hdbk., p. 190 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 515b. 



On dead bramble, &c. Gregarious. 



■'O" 



Crepidotus epigaeus. Pers. 



Pileus |-1 in. across, flesh very thin, reniform or flabellate,. 

 fragile, reddish-grey, base villous, -whitish ; gills distinct, 

 narrow, diverging, watery rufescent; spores pale cinnamon, 

 broadly elliptical, 10 x 7 /x. 



Agaricus epigaeus, Persoon, Syn., p. 484; Cke., Hdbk.,, 

 p. 191 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 516a. 



Agaricus depluens, Batsch, fig. 122. 



On the ground, especially on damp clay. 



Spores oblong, • 0004 in. long, not irregular, and more or less 

 angular, as in the plant usually referred to Agaricus depluens,. 

 as figured by Hoffmann, so that its aftinities seem rather to 

 be with Crepidotus than Claudopus. The present is exactly 

 the plant of Batsch, and we think it better to leave the nam& 

 with what has formerly been considered his species, and 

 retain that of Persoon. The gills of A. epigaeus are no longer 

 red when dry. (Berk. & Br.) 



TUBARIA. W. G. Smith, (fig. 4, p. 3.) 



Stem central, somewhat cartilaginous, hollow. Pileus 

 thin, often almost membranaceous, frequently clothed with 

 the remains of the floccose universal veil. Gills more or less 

 decurrent, broadest behind, hence somewhat triangular; 

 spores clear or dusky ferruginous.
