In pastures. Holm Lacy. Batheaston. 



Cantharellus albidus. I"?-. Fl. Ban. t. \2d3,Ji(/. I. 



Pileus rather fleshy, infundibuliform, repand, smooth, pallid, 

 stem solid, nearly equal, smooth, gills dichotomous, divergent, 

 white.— i^r. Ejnc. ii., 457. Berk. ^ Br. Ann. N.H., No. 1421. 



Amongst moss. Coed Coch. Sept. Oct. 



Canthairellus Stevensoni. B. cf Br. Ann. N.H., No. U22. 



Pileus orbicular, umbilicate, pallid, smooth, margin inflexed ; 

 stem cylindrical, delicately pulverulent, white, then darker ; gills 

 decurrent, pallid, brownish behind. 



On rotten wood amongst moss. Glamis. March. 



Pileus about 2 lines across, stem ^ in. high, ^ line thick, with a 

 little white mycelium at the base. Very near to C. cupukitus, but 

 that is very strongly umbonate when young, and the umbo is always 

 visible at the bottom of the umbilicus, the habitat moreover is 

 different. — B. ^ Br. 



Iieutinus scoticus. B. St Br.Ann. N.H., No. 1423. 



Inodorous. Pileus smooth, hygrophanous, extremely variable, 

 pallid, at length brownish, either quite stemless and reniform, or 

 variously stipitate, solitary or crespitose, sometimes deeply umbili- 

 cate, lobed at the margin, and sinuate or plicate, gills rather dis- 

 tant, strongly toothed, decurrent when the stem is developed. — 

 Fr. Ep. eel. ii., p. 485. 



On decayed Ulex and rotten wood. Glamis. 



Pileus -^-1^ in. broad, stem when present varying from 2 lines to 

 as many inches. Its nearest ally is L. omphalodes. 



Boletus sulfuxeus. Fr.Bpier. ii., p. 501. 



Pileus compact, convex, then plane, silky-tomentose, with innate 

 flocci, sulphur-coloured ; stem firm, ventricose, even, smooth, of 

 the same colour as the pileus ; tubes adnato-decurrent, short, 

 minute, compound, sulphur-coloured, at length greenish. — Berk.

On sawdust. Forres (Rev. J. Keith). 



From a wide-spreading fleecy, golden-coloured mycelium it 

 springs in dense clusters, after the fashion of Agaricus spectabilis. 

 Stem compact, 1-2 in. long, an inch thick, self-coloured, but at 

 length acquiring a dirty ferruginous tint. Pilei at first hemisphe- 

 rical, then by mutual pressure twisted and concrescent ; margin 

 acute, involute when young. Flesh yellow, turning more or less 

 blue when broken, but when exposed for some time to the air 

 golden, under the tubes occasionally reddish. Tubes 1-2 lines 

 long, adhering more closely than usual, changing colour when 

 touched, at length spotted with ferruginous stains. Spores yellow, 

 then olivaceous, unusually small. Tasteless. — TF. G. S.
