250 Mr II. O. Stephens on the Fungi 



Ag. media*, Schum.* M endows in September, always after stormy 



weather. 



Cantharellus tubaformis, Bull. On stumps, Leigh Wood. 



Cantharellus ? confluens, species nova ? Densely crowded, so that 

 the pilei frequently become confluent. Pileus repand and lobed, 

 quarter to half an inch in diameter. Stem half an inch in height, 

 one-eighth in thickness, solid. Hymenium pruinose, with a few 

 obsolete veins. The whole plant of a pale clay-coloured brown, 

 scarcely varying in any part, with the exception of the margin of 

 the pileus, which is paler. Grew in dense clusters under beech 

 trees. Stapleton Grove, Sept. 6, 1839. 



Polyporus adustus, Willd. Stapleton Grove. Effused in large masses 

 over fallen leaves as well as on stumps. 



Polyp, suaveolens. On willows, in the parish of Stapleton ; very 

 abundant. It has a zoneless villous white pileus and brownish 

 pores ; smells like aniseeds. 



Polyp, dryadeus, Pers. On old oaks, in most woods about Bristol, 

 always growing near the base of the trunks. 



Polyp, medulla panis, Jacq. Inside a hollow 7 ash. Precisely like a 

 mass of the crumb of bread. 



Boletus Metis. It is singular, that although Mr. Berkeley marks 

 this species as exceedingly common, I have never found it in this 

 neighbourhood ; the common species here being B. Grevellei. 



B. granulatus, Linn. Common, often growing to a great size. 



B. subtomentosus. Ditto. 



Radulum orbicular e, Fr. On fallen birch sticks, Leigh Wood. Hy- 

 menium waxy. My specimens do not exactly accord with Dr. 

 Greville's figure, but they are not very perfect. 



Thelephora amorpha, Pers. A. & S. Conspect. p. 329, No. 982. 

 Descriptio bona. On dead bramble or dog-rose sticks. Cook's 

 Folly W^oods, June, 1839. 



Th. incrustans. Woods : common. Th. epidermea. On fallen twigs 

 in woods. Th. nuda. Ditto. 



Th. corrugata, Fr. On sticks in a wet hedge. Redland, April, 

 1839. Hymenium much cracked and papillose, with red-brown 

 bristles. A golden yellow-brow r n woolly parasitic fungus grows 

 upon it. 



Th. (Merisma) fastidiosum. Pers. Mycolog. Europ. vol. i. p. 155. 



* Ag. medius, Schum., should be Ag. pusillus, Pers. The error in English 

 Flora has been corrected in Mr. Berkeley's British Fungi and in our Journal.
