862 RECORDS OF AUSTRALIAN FUNGI, i., 



Stereum nitidulum Berk. — We have a collection obtained at 

 Terrigal, in June, 1914, which Lloyd thinks is this species. The 

 pileus was fawn-coloured when fresh, with darker zones and 

 pale tips. The hymenium was paler. Spores pear-shaped, 

 oblique, 5-2 x 3-4/x. Growing on the ground.. 



Stereum pergamaneum Berk. — Specimens, identified as pro- 

 bably this species by Lloyd, were obtained at Pittwater, in 

 April, 1914, attached to wood at the base of an old stump. The 

 spores were pear-shaped, white, 5 x 3"5yx, with a large, central 

 "nucleus." 



Stereum hirsutum Fries. — This species was recorded for New 

 England by Berkeley (in Journ. Linn. Soc, Bot., xiii., p. 168, 

 1873), and for Pennant Hills, Parramatta {Lc, xvi., p. 40, 1878). 

 It has also been recorded for this State by Lloyd (Letter No. 19, 

 1908, and Letter No. 60). We have numerous specimens in our 

 collections, and have also examined those in the National Her-
