THELEPHORACEAE. 
Peniophora longispora (Pat.) v. Héhn. 
New to Britain. The species was originally described from 
Tunis, but is apparently not uncommon in Europe on bark and wood 
of various trees, having been recorded from Austria, Poland, and 
rance 
a very marked species, with the habit of a Hypochnus, 
and differing from all other Peniophoras in its long, very slender. 
spores, 12-17 x 2-24u. Q. £. M. W. 
Corticium confine, Bourd. et Galz. 
First described from France in 1911, but apparently not 
uncommon in Britain. Common in the grounds of Queen’s Cottage 
on wood and bark of various trees. It is a thin, white species, 
superficially resembling young states of Hydnum farinaceum, with 
which it has probably hitherto been confused. Q. E. M. W. 
This and the following species of Corticium were first added to 
the British Flora during the past year, but all appear to be 
fairly generally distributed, having been received from correspon- 
ts in various parts of the country. 
Corticium botryosum, Bres. 
Forming a thin, glaucous film resembling a mould, on very rotten 
wood, (. 2. AL, 
Distinguished from the following by the absence of clamp-— 
connections at the septa 
Corticium subcoronatum, v. H. et L oe ie 3 
ccurs more commonly than C. botryosum, in similar situations, 
and has the same general appearance. Q. E. M, 
Corticium albo-stramineum (Bres.) Wakefield. Hypochnus-albo- 
stramineus, Bres. | 
On fallen branches. Q. A. FE. M. W. 
Distinguished by the large, broadly-elliptical or subglobose spores, 
with dense, granular contents, which sometimes causes the epispore 
to appear slightly rough, and also by the presence of laticiferous (?) 
hyphae, with deeply staining contents (“glococystidia ”). e 
latter character would place it in the genus Gloeocystidium of some 
SPHAERIACEAE. 
Clypeosphaeria Notarisii, Machel. 
On dead bramble shoots. Q. J. 4. 
PERZIZACEAE. 
Peziza adae, Sadler. ‘ 
A very beautiful fungus, at first cup-shaped then | gradually 
expanding until saucer-shaped or almost flat, with an irregularly 
wavy edge. Cream colour, more or less tinged with deep rose. 
The largest specimen was three inches in diameter. On soil in 
propagating pit. ~ &.
