BRITISH FUNGI. 



ochraceous. — B. $ Br. Ann. N. H., 1372. Rabh. Fung. Eur. 

 Ex.. 1415. 



On old stems of Clematis vitalba. 



Cups ^-1 line across, sometimes proliferous. Differs from C. 

 Curreyi in the colour of the hymenium, which is rugose, like that 

 of Cantharellus muscigenus and its more irregular form. It appears 

 also not to be erumpent as that species often is, but is seated on 

 the bark of wood. Spores -00025--00035 in. long, elliptic. 

 Cyphella dochmiospora. B. $ Br. 



Minute, pezizaeforin, snow white ; spores oblique, ovate, slightly 

 acute.— B. $• Br. Ann. N. H., 1373. 



On sticks. (?) Batheaston, Oct. 



Resembles externally Peziza villosa, but the hairs are not granu- 

 lated. Spores -0035--0006 in. long. 



Clavaria rufa. Fr. 



Casspitose, rufous, clubs stuffed, incrassated, somewhat bifid, 

 acute. — Fries, Epicr.,p. 577. Flor. Dan., t. 775,/. 1. 



In grassy places. Hereford (W. G. S.). 



Clavaria curta. Fr. 



Small, very much branched, crowded together, greenish yellow, 

 no distinct stem, branches short, crowded, straight, obtuse ; spores 

 white. — Fries, Vet. Ac. Fork, 1861. Mon. Hym. Suec. «., p. 281. 

 Smith in Jonrn. Bot., Dec, 1873. 



In grassy places. Hereford (W. G. S.). 



Approaches C. fastigiata, but different in stature and colour. 

 Dacrymyces macrosporus. B. $ Br. 



Gelatinous, tuberculate, rosy ; flocci septate, apex sporiferous ; 

 primary spores oblong, 3-5 septate, articulations constricted ; 

 secondary spores elliptical, apiculate at either extremity ; conidia 

 concatenate.— £. # Br. Ann. N. H., No. 1374, L 1 , f. 1. 



On dead branches. Batheaston. Dec, Mar. 



Forming irregular gyrate and tuberculated masses of a rosy 

 colour, about ± j n# long, parasitic on old Diatrype stigma. The 

 mass of gelatine consists of delicate branched septate threads, 

 mixed with shorter threads bearing oblong 3-5 septate primary 

 spores -0015--002 in. long, -00034-0004 in. wide ; these at length 

 fall off, and produce shortly stipitate secondary spores, one from 

 each division ; secondary spores elliptic, *0005 in. long, more pro- 

 minent on one side, pointed at either end. The cells of the primary 

 spores are empty after the production of the secondary spores. 

 Other threads break up into much branched chains of conidia 

 •0002 in. diam. The parts of the gelatinous mass where these are 

 produced acquire a paler tint. It preserves its rosy tint when dry. 



Hydnangium cazneum. Wallr. 

 Subglobose, irregular, smooth, flesh-coloured ; cells pale flesh 

 colour, immutable ; basidia prominent ; spores spherical, echinulate ; 

 spinules long, slightly coloured. — Tulasne Eypogozi, p. 75, t. 21,
