 ferent nature of the stem,

 pale-brown folds branched, stem short lateral. Fr. St/st. Myc,

On moss, straw-roofs, &c. Autumn. — " PUeus membranaceous, 

 tough, nearly semicircular, somewhat zoned, slightly undulated, dirty- 

 white, cinereous or dingy. Folds somewhat tumid, divergent, scarcely 

 anastomosing, confluent behind. Stem villous at the base ; sometimes 

 obsolete." — Fr. I. c. The present species is introduced on the autho- 

 rity of VVithering's citation of Bulliard ; it does not appear very plain 

 whether he had in view any thing more than a stemless variety found 

 in Packington Park. 



9. C. lobdtus, Pers. (lohed stemless Chantarelle') ; sessile lobed 

 more or less brown, veins branched anastomosing. Fr. S//st.

Wet boggy places, on moss, as Hypnurn cuspidatum and revolvens. 

 April — Autunui. — Pikusi lines — 1^ inch broad, membranaceous, hori- 

 zontal, often at length vertical, attached laterally by a few byssoid fibres 

 which son)etiines run down the moss for some distance, pale cinereous- 

 umber ; margin nearly white, under a lens most minutely scabrous, as 

 if it were innato-fibrillosc ; occasionally there are two or three faint 

 zones. Hymenium paler, consisting of radiating more or less anasto- 

 mosing wrinkles, with many connecting reticulate veins. Spondcs 

 round, rather large. When old it is often very muth lobcd and crisped 

 and then the wrinkles, especially at the base, are reticulate, though 

 towards tiie margin they continue distinct. At first sight it appears 

 like a pale minute specimen of PtUidca canina, much sodden with 

 moisture. On mature consideration, I do not hesitate to unite i\ 

 lobatus and retirugu. There is every gradation from distinct prominent 

 folds to mere reticulations, and from a horizontal to a vertical pileus. 

 Greville's plant is, like mine, of a dilute pale-brown ; but I have found 

 some specimens nuich darker than the general state, though never so 

 dark as in Bolton's figure. Sowerby's plate exactly resembles some 

 states of niy plant.
