This species is related to C. fistulosa, but differs in the very 

 much more slender habit. 



SPECIES NOBIS INCOGNITAE.

C.fragilisYiolms]^. var. C. gracilis Pers., Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 675. 



On ground, Dinmore, C. Rea, 1902. 



This is a simple yellow species, said to have subglobose 

 spores, 3 X 2/u.. It differs in this respect from any of the 

 yellow species with which we are familiar. 



C. SUBTILIS {Pers.) Fr., Syst. Myc. i. p. 475; Rea in Trans. 

 Brit. Myc. Soc. ii. 1902, p. 39. 



Tough, thin, white, becoming yellowish, glabrous at the base, 

 of equal thickness throughout (i mm.), branches few, dicho- 

 tomously forked and somewhat fastigiate. vSpores white, 

 elliptical, 6 x ^jjl. The whole plant is 2-2*5 cm. high. 



Amongst grass, Moseley Green, Forest of Dean, C. Rea, 1902. 

 Distinguished from allied species by its small size, equality of 

 thickness, toughness and few branches. 



The above is the description given by Rea. Amongst the 

 as yet unidentified material which has come into our hands 

 there is a slender whitish or pale yellow branched species, sent 

 by Miss Lister from Theydon Forest, which would pass very 

 well for this species as regards habit, but the spores a;re sub- 

 globose, 3/x, hence it cannot be regarded as identical. 



C. TENERRIMA Mass. ct Crosslafid, in Naturalist, 1904, p. 2. 



Gregaria subtenax farcta Candida; clavis simplicibus cylin- 

 dricis fiexuosis apice subattenuatis ; sporis hyalinis subglobosis 

 apiculatis verrucosis, 8-9 />t 



Sporophores entirely shining white, gregarious but quite 

 distinct at the base, cylindrical, smooth, apex slightly attenuated 

 but by no means acute, base not narrowed, 2-5-4 citi- high, 

 1-5-2 mm. thick. Basidia bearing four spores. 



Said to be characterised by the slender, cylindrical, flexuous 

 sporophore, and more especially by the subglobose spores 

 having the epispore densely covered by minute rounded 

 warts. 



Unfortunately the type specimen does not appear to have 

 been kept. The only white species with rough spores seen by 

 the authors has spores with quite distinct, comparatively long 

 spines, and is obviously C. asterospora Pat. The suspicion 

 arises that C tenerrima may have been really C- acuta, the
