GUIDE TO THE MODELS OF FUNGI. 



6i 



150. Clavaria Ardenia Sow. — BuflF-brown in colour, simple, eight 

 or more inches long, hollow, thickened upwards, acute, then obtuse, 

 often depressed at the apex when fully grown, tomentose at base, 



not rooting. 



Very rare, 

 leaves, etc. 



It grows upon the ground, on fallen branches, fir 



151. Clavaria tuberosa Sow. — Yellowish, springing from a thick, 

 strigose, sub-globose tuber, producing two or three simple, linear, 

 tough, sub-acute clubs from the same base. 



C. tuberosa grows on birch, and is very rare. 



152. Clavaria acuta Sow. — White, simple, cylindrical, stiff, 

 straight, sharp-pointed, pruinose. 



On soil in garden pots. Rare. 



GENUS XXIII.—TYPHULA Fr. 



The species of Typhula resemble tender, hair-like species of 

 Clavaria. All except one, which is terrestrial, grow on twigs, leaves, 

 straw, moss, etc. There are ten British 

 species. Five of these spring from a small 

 hard mass of compact mycelium termed 

 a sclerotium. 



153. Typhula phacorrhiza Fr. — Stems 

 or threads pallid, becoming somewhat 

 fuscous below, simple, elongated, filiform, 

 smooth, downy at the base. The hardened 

 mycelium from which it springs has been 

 named Sclerotium scutellatum. 



In woods and hedges, on dead her- 

 baceous stems, leaves, etc. ; uncommon, -^ ^ i^^^^-" 

 but sometimes found in considerable pj^ ^g^xyphuia phacorrhiza Fr. 

 abundance in patches. It may spring (One-half natural size.) 

 direct from the sclerotium buried in the ground. 



154. Typhula gracilis Berk. & Desm. — Club pallid, simple or 

 forked, acute, rough with spores and little prominent bristles ; stalk 

 distinct from club, smooth or bristly. 



Very small, growing on decaying leaves. Uncommon. 



ORDER VI.— TREMELLINEiE. 



The Tremellinece are homogeneous, gelatinous, shrivelling when 

 dry, reviving when moistened. 



GENUS XXIV.—TREMELLA Fr. 



The species of Tremclla are ielly-like when moist, tremulous, 

 and immarginate, not papillate.
