• Clavaria, from clava, a club, 

 t Clavaria Ardenia occurred in great numbers in Leigh Woods in the 

 autumn of 1868. It appeared to assume the form of C. Juncea, Bull., when 

 small, and growing on leaves instead of sticks. Some specimens were nine 

 inches long. Mr. W. G. Smith says, in " Mushrooms and Toadstools," that 

 all the white-spored species of Clavaria are esculent. Dr. Badham gives 

 various ways of cooking C. CoraUoides ; and Mr. Berkeley sent specimens 

 of C. Eufescens, Fr., one of the ochrey-spored kinds from the market in 

 Hanover last year, where it is sold iu quantities for food.
