Galvvay S.E. — XXX Woodlawn fvar. Candida) (on moss on tree 



stump). WicKLOvv — Glendalough ; Rathdrum ; Ballydungan (on 



moss). Dublin — -Marley Grange. 

 Note by Miss Lister : — I call it F. septica var. Candida. The 

 spores are rather darker than is typical for F. septica and measure 7 to 

 9 IX. The character of the long slender lime knots and abundant 

 straight hyaline threads is right for F. septica. We have often been 

 puzzled with forms intermediate between var. Candida and F. cinerea 

 var. ecorticata, but your specimen comfortably lies on the F. septica heap, 

 I thin]:.
