Under fir trees. West of England. Apetliorpe. 



Known at once by its mucli larger ovate spores vdth a papilla at the apex, 

 and its abominable smell, wliicb resembles that of assafcetida. A single speci- 

 men in a room is so strong as to make it scarcely habitable. The walls of 

 the cells when cut are whitish, but soon become red ; this is not constantly 

 the case . — 21. J. B. 



var. /3. intermedins. Spores obovate, obtuse and even, very 

 rarely slightly papillate. — Berk. Ann.N.H. no. 302. 



This form, or more probably species, was found at Spye Park in Angrist, 

 by C. E. Broome. It is as large as M. variegatus, of which it has the bright 

 rusty colour, but the spores are much larger, equalling in size those of the 

 typical form of this species, though of a different form. There is scarcely 

 ever the slightest indication of a papilla, and they are obovate, with a single 

 globose nucleus. The smell is also similar. The walls of the cells are yel- 

 lowish, and are red in dry specimens,— J/. J.B. Spores '013 X "016 mm. long, 

 •008 mm. broad (-0005 X 'OOOS in.). (Fig. 103, section magd.)

Under trees. Sept. iSov. Bristol. 



Oblong, f of an inch in diameter, externally slightly tomentose, pale 

 orange-red, fleshy, but by no means deliquescent, rootless ; peridium thin, 

 at length rugulose, within minutely cellular ; substance of a beautiful orange- 

 red ; cells hollow, clothed with obtuse bi-sporous sporophores, and slender 

 cystidia ; the cells are also traversed from wall to wall by slender occasionally 

 branched threads. Spores subelliptic, strongly echinulate, supported on 

 short but distinct sterigmata.— J/. /. 5. Colour exactly that of a carrot, 

 communicating to paper a lemon-coloured stain. Spores "0096 X "0128 mm. 

 long, -007 X -008 mm. broad ('0004 X "0003 in.).
