REVISIONS OF CEYLON FUNGI. 387 



referred to Ar miliaria asprata by Berkeley and Broome. 

 Berkeley apparently received it also from Carolina, collected 

 by Curtis, but attributed to Mueller in " Fungi of Ceylon." 

 In " Saccardo " it is said to have been collected also in 

 Australia by Beckler. I have not been able to ascertain why 

 it is listed in " Saccardo " as Lepiota. It is possible that these 

 collections are not all the same species ; the following descrip- 

 tion is drawn up from fresh specimens which agree with the 

 figures named by Berkeley and Broome. 



The young unexpanded specimens are orange-red, covered 

 with conical orange-red warts, after the manner of Lycoperdou 

 echinaUim. When expanded, the pileus is 3-5 to 5 cms. in 

 diameter, almost plane, depressed in the centre, margin 

 incurved, pale yellow covered with orange-red conical warts 

 which are large and close-set in the centre and diminish in size 

 towards the margin ; the margin is sHghtly floccose. The 

 flesh is white and somewhat spongy. The stalk is 3" 5 to 5' 5 

 cm. high, 4 mm. diameter, equal, expanding into the pileus, 

 usually curved at the base, covered with floccose down up to 

 the apex, orange below, becoming pale yellow above, stuffed 

 then hollow. The veil is more or less arachnoid, and is not 

 evident after the expansion of the pileus. The gills are 

 white, broad (up to 6 mm.), somewhat ventricose, rather 

 distant, broadly adnate with a small Recurrent tooth, or 

 shortly decurrent. The spores are white, subglobose, 7-8 x 



5-6 h'. 



Gardner's specimens were said to grow on the ground, but 

 Thwaites' examples are figured growing on wood. I have 

 always found it on wood.
