: NOTES ON THE MYCOLOGY OF KELVINGROVE PARK. 77 
Cantharellus cibarius, Fr., growing on the Kelvin bank behind 
the Museum. Professor King and I found it about 1890, I think, 
on a tree on the banks of the Kelvin, opposite the Botanic 
Gardens, near the new bridge. 
Merulius lachrymans, Fr., or Dry-rot, attacked the flooring of 
the Museum in 1887, but with some trouble and expense it was 
_ extirpated apparently, for it has not reappeared. 
Agaricus (Lepiota) acutesquamosus, W einm., is a rare species found 
this year among the shrubbery on the north bank of the Kelvin, 
near the iron bridge. It is a beautiful plant, regularly marked 
with twisted sharp-pointed scales when young, developing into 
regular squarrose patches, and showing the white between as it 
grows older. Mr. Macgregor, of Paisley, sent me a specimen in 
the latter condition last month, which he had found growing on 
the floor of his dyework. These are the only specimens I have 
seen, though Professor King told me he had found it once. Dr. 
- Stevenson calls acutesquamosus “a most distinguished species.” 
Agaricus (Tricholoma) gambosus, Fr., St. George’s Mushroom, 
__was found this year above the ladies’ waiting-room. It is a spring 
‘ species, and said to be common in England. I had never found it 
oo ae 
“ 
before. 
Agaricus (Tricholoma) subpulverulentus, Pers., an uncommon 
one, was found in 1884. 
Agaricus (Nolanea) pisciodorus, Ces., with a strong fishy smell, we 
have found once or twice elsewhere, but it is not a common species. 
Agaricus (Pholiota) awreus, Miill., a beautiful golden-tawny 
species, was found in 1888 and 1889 in the shrubbery near the 
entrance to the nursery grounds. The only record for it in Dr. 
Stevenson’s British Fungi is Dumfries Show of the Cryptogamic 
‘Society. As the alteration of the ground in connection with the 
building of the Prince of Wales’s Bridge has covered up the site, 
Tam afraid we have little hope of again seeing this beautiful and 
rare species. oh 
; i Agaricus (Pholiota) togularis, Bull., is given as rare by Dr. 
Stevenson. It is remarkable for the ring, which is entire and.
