88 Rev. M.J. Berkeley on t h e Fructification of the 



misled by a confidence in Fries' correctness, who however ap- 

 pears not to have had himself a very clear perception on the 

 point. Fries' real notion, though nowhere expressed very di- 

 stinctly, is perhaps sufficiently clear from the expression* 

 " Hymenium e setnlis quaternatis," under the subtribe Pliy- 

 lacteria of Thelephora. 



In 1828 M. Desmazieresf described the sporidia of Ag. ra- 

 dians just as Link had done those of the Coprini, " les sporules 

 sont, comme dans les Coprini avant la destruction de l'hyme- 

 nium, disposees sur quatre rangs dans des theques distantes 

 les uns des autres." 



In 1830 Fries J still described and figured Favolus Brasi- 

 Hensis and Cyclomyces fusca as ascigerous. In the latter spo- 

 ridia are figured in the asci. 



In 1831 Krombholz§ published figures by Corda of the fruc- 

 tification of Agaricus, &c. I have not seen the work myself, 

 but from the account of it in the Linnaea I conclude that it 

 accords with the observations of Link and Ditmar. Articu- 

 lations are figured in the fruit-cells of Ag. alutaceus, but evi- 

 dently from incorrect observation, though he is borne out by 

 Nees v. Esenbeck. See fig. 199 B. 



In 1833 Klotzsch|| figured in Favolus Boucheanus clavate 

 asci containing sporidia. Wallroth's Flora Crypt. Germaniae 

 published in the same year follows the views of Link. 



In the third volume of Nouv. Ann. du Museum are some 

 observations on Fungi by Dutrochet, republished in the col- 

 lected Memoirs, vol. ii. in 1837, with the author's latest cor- 

 rections. Turpin there figures the reproductive bodies of Can- 

 tharellus Dutrochettii, Mont., (which is apparently a state of 

 Ag. panuoides, Fr.) as attached to the walls of the filaments of 

 which the gills are composed. There is also a memoir on the 

 same Fungus by M. Turpin, vol. xiv. des Mem. de l'Ac. des 

 Sciences Naturelles, which I much regret that I have not seen.
