THE FUNGI OF THE BRISTOL DISTRICT. 193 



a broad or slightly contracted base, clear primrose yelloiv, very smooth and 

 shining ; mass of capillitium and spores yellow ; elaters scanty, variable, 

 4-5 /x tbick, simple or branched, perfectly smooth, or loith scattered narrow 

 rings, sometimes with an indistiiict, very open spiral on the whole or por- 

 tion only of an elater, tips usually abrupt, rarely ending in a short api- 

 culus ; spores globose, icith narrow raised ridges of varying thickness, 

 forming an irregular network, 11-13 ix diameter. Massee, Revis. Trich., 

 p. 23. 



Only a single minute sporangium of this species was found. It oc- 

 curred on rotten wood from a stump in the clay pits at Abbot's Leigh, 

 and, as I know of no foreign source from which it could be derived, I 

 fed justified in recording it as an addition to the British Myxomyoetes.

* Mollisia discolor, Mont. 

 This species, which appears to be common in the district, has been 

 mistaken for P. vulgaris, Fr., and is so recorded in Fungi Bris. Dist., 

 Part II. The latter species was omitted by Mr. Phillips in the " British 

 Discomycetes," as he had never been satisfied that he had the true species 

 of Fries ; but he has now recorded it as occurring at Shere and also at 

 Carlisle.
