63 NEW AND RARE BRITISH HYMENOMYCETOUS FUNGI. 
may Park, in August 1867. It grew upon naked clay, and on rotten 
wood in the last stage of decomposition, completely covering the four 
sides of the pit. Mr. Broome found it the following November on a 
wet bank in Epping Forest; its duration was short in the sawpit, and 
in neither locality has it since appeared. 
AGARICUS (ENTOLOMA) JUBATUS, Fr.; stem fleshy, glossy, striate, 
and shining, white at the base, stuffed or hollow, clothed with minute 
sooty fibres; pileus fleshy, campanulate, at first acutely then obscurely 
umbonate, clothed with fibres, glossy, not hygrophanous ; gills slightly 
adnexed, inclined to be ventricose. 
This species was also shown at Kensington last autumn by Dr. Bull ; 
he found it growing in great abundance on Merryhill Common, and in 
and near Haywood Forest, near Hereford, where [ afterwards found it 
myself. It grew in dense clusters, some of them taking a circular 
form: young specimens are acutely campanulate, and full-grown plants 
attain a height of five or more inches, and a diameter of three or four ; 
a small specimen is, however, selected for illustration to meet the re- 
stricted size of the plate. The taste is watery, and like many other 
pink-spored species, very disagreeable. I am not aware that this spe- 
cies has been before published as British, but I understand it was found 
by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley at Ascot, a year or two ago, and Mr. Currey 
iuforms me he found specimens on October 13, 1868, in a meadow 
adjoining a house called Twisden, between Goudhurst and Kilndown, 
in Sussex. Mr. Currey was kind enough to forward me several speci- 
mens which precisely correspond with the Hereford plants. 
HycRoPHORUS CALYPTRJEFORMIS, B. and Br.; pileus thin, acutely 
conical, lobed below, minutely innato-fibrillose; stem white, smooth, 
slightly striate, hollow ; gills rose-coloured, at length pallid, very nar- 
row, acutely attenuated behind.— Outlines of Fungology, p. 202. 
This distinct and beautiful species occurred in abundance in Holme 
Lacy Park last autumn, when the first specimens were gathered by 
J. Griffith Morris, Esq., during the excursion of the Woolhope Club ; 
it grew amongst furze, and in open places bordering the plantations. 
As it has not been figured before, our Plate may perhaps lead to its de- 
tection elsewhere. It was first found, many years ago, by Mr. Broome, 
on Hanham Common, near Bristol, but the habitat is now destroyed, 
and the plant has disappeared from that district.
