870 RECORDS OF AUSTRALIAN FUNGI, i. 



Clavaria rosea Fries. — At Mosman, Sydney, in June, 1915, 

 and at Neutral Bay, in June, 1916, we came upon many speci- 

 mens of a salmon-pink Clavaria. These agree with the descrip- 

 tion of C. rosea, save that the spores, instead of being 2 or 3/x in 

 size, are 6 x 3'6/jt. The following is the description of our speci- 

 mens : — Up to 2\ inches high, slender, somewhat flexuous, 

 attenuated both ways from the middle, sometimes rather broad- 

 ened or ribbon-like, coral-red or rosy-pink, often pruinose above, 

 when buried amongst leaves with a whitish base, solid, flesh 

 bright coral-red, gregarious amongst leaves under shrubs. There 

 are also specimens in the National Herbarium from Penshurst 

 (E. Cheel; May, 1901); Mount Victoria (A. G. Hamilton: March, 

 1910); Botanic Gardens, Sydney (E. Bennett; January, 1901). 



Clavaria aurantia Cooke & Massee.— Specimens collected 

 under rocks, at Neutral Bay, in June, 1916, may be described as 

 follows: — Clavate, 1| inches high, occasionally slightly forked 

 at the tip, often with one or two furrows longitudinally, usually 

 a little twisted, bright clear egg-yellow, apricot-smell when 

 crushed [spores not seen]. We have also collected it in the same 

 situations and place, in June, 1912, and June, 1913. 



Calocera guepinioides Berk. — This species seems common 

 on rotten wood. We have specimens from the Hawkesbury 

 River, and from Mt. Lofty, near Adelaide. Spores 8'3-12 x 3-5- 

 5-5/A. 



Calocera cornea Fries. — Terrigal, June, 1914. Spores 

 8-5x3 5/A. 



Calocera stricta Fries. — Gosford (Darnell-Smith; August, 

 1915).
