1G4 NEW OR NOTEWORTHY FUNGI. 



soon bocommg depressed and intricate ; conidia fusiform, clear 

 ochraceous-brown, 6-8 /j. x 3^-4 ^-i, reaching even 10 fx x 5 fx.. 

 (Tab. 257, f. 1). 



On Bitl(/ariu inqidnans, Sutton (Wk.), Oct., Dec. The spores 

 are not only much smaller, but also paler and more hyaline than 

 those of Oidiitm fnlvum Link, and of a different colour. 



58. Fusidium viride, sp. n. — F. mycelio albo, tenuissime 

 effuso ; conidiorum cateuulis longis, flexuosis, varie intertextis ; 

 conidiis exacte fusiformibus, rectis, utrinque acutis, pallide viridulis,

CEPHALOSPORIUM Corda (1839). 



Hyphasma creeping, branched, continuous. Flocci stem-like, 

 rather subulate, coutiimous, crowned with a head of spores. 

 Spores simple. 



Differs from Acremoniiun in the capitate spores.

Eft'used, pure white, floccose ; hyphje creeping, nearly simple 

 or branched, bearing alternately rather short, erect, sporiferous 

 branches, which are mostly simple, and attenuated above ; conidia 

 conglobate at the apices, involved in mucus, oblong or ovoid, 

 hyaline, about 3 /x x 2 /a (Corda, ex icone), 8-8-6 ^^ x 1*5-2 (jl 

 (Fres.); 4 ^ x 1 fi (Sacc); 4-5-5 /x x 2'5/^(Peuz. forma); 5-8/* 

 X 1-5-2-5 i^ (mihi). (Tab. 257, f. 3). 



On stems of Buhus, Barnt Green (Ws.) ; of Heracleum, Brad- 

 nock's Marsh ; on rotting wood and &> Myxomycete, Sutton (Wk.), 

 May — Oct. Heads round, pure white, about 10-12 /x diam., but 

 varying in size from age. The long creeping stems are sometimes 

 suberoct ; the branches often once, sometimes twice forked, 

 30-40 l^ high or more. Corda describes the spores as assuming a 

 rosy tint, which no other author has observed. My specimens 

 belong rather to Penzig's form, but scarcely differ from Corda's 

 figure, except in the more oblong spores. 



60. Aspergillus spiralis, sp. n. — A. hyphis sterilibus dicho- 

 tomis, scptatis, efluso-intricatis, spiralibus, citrinis ; fertilibus 

 luteis, erectis, contiuuis, semel bisve apice dichotomis, raniulo 

 unoqnoque in capitulum subclavatum evadente ; sterigmatibus 

 simplicibus, obovatis, medio constrictis (h. e. soleiformibus), 

 20-30/x X lOfji.; conidiis obovatis, deinglobosis,iufBqualibus,li^vibus,
