tose, indicating the growth is interrupted, though probably 

 the fungus is annual. 



17. -P. (Resup.) latus, n. s. Resupinate but with the mar- 

 gin here and there free ; 8 inches across, following all the 

 inequalities of the matrix. Above obscurely zoned dingy- 

 brown pruinoso-velvety ; flesh of the same colour as the pi- 

 leus, -with a slight ferruginous tinge, suberoso-coriaceous. Hy- 

 menium wood- coloured, even ; pores round, regular ; dissepi- 

 ments thin. 



On branches, Mr. Gunn. A very distinct species, perhaps 

 better placed near P. sanguineus, amongst Api Biennes. The 

 colour is peculiar, like that of the flocci of Lycoperdon pyri- 

 forme. 



18. P. (Resupinati) dcedaleoides, n. s. Altogether resupi- 

 nate, 3 — 4 inches across ; suborbicular, flesh very thin tan- 

 coloured of a close cottony texture. Hymenium wood- coloured, 

 pores large, rather deep, round, angular, ^th of an inch broad, 

 pale within ; dissepiments thin, at length splitting, in conse- 

 quence of which some portions of the hymenium put on the 

 appearance of a D&dalea. 



On charred wood. The pores are large, otherwise it might 

 be supposed to be a resupinate state of P. veluiinus. 



19. Thelephora rubiginosa, Fr.

21. Thel. lobata, Kze. in Linn. 



22. Eccidia Auricula Judce, Fr. 



23. SpJweria concentrica, Bolt. 



24. Mitremyces fuscus, n. s. Deep brown. Simple or 

 caespitose. Calyptra hemispherical, pale red-brown within, 

 margin denticulate. Peridium thick, horny, granulato-squa- 

 mose above, supported below by the anastomosing, subcylin- 

 dric cartilaginous processes of the stem-like mycelium ; teeth 

 4 — 6, lined and bordered with bright vermillion, sometimes 

 partially frosted with yellow meal. Internal peridium white. 

 Sporidia forming a solid ball, broadly oval, dirty white. 



Epping forest, Van Diemen 5 s Land, in gravelly shady places, 

 Mr. LawTence. Greatly resembling Mitremyces lutescens, but 

 the colour, which reminds us of Peziza melastoma ; is altoge- 

 ther different, and the peridium thicker and more horny.
