Messrs. Berkeley and Broome on British Fungi. 343 



regarded as this species is a dark form of A. saponaceus. The 

 scent is quite as strong as in the normal A. sulphureus. 



*A. (Tricholoma) putidus, Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 78. 



The synonym of A. rancidus, Kalchb., really belongs to 

 this species. Specimens occurred at Coed Coch in 1883 which 

 exactly agreed with Kalchbrenner's figure, and not at all 

 with that in Fr. Icon. 



*A. (Clitocybe) fumosus, Pers. Syn. p. 348. 



Specimens of this variable species were sent by the Rev. 

 D. Paul from Roxburgh of such a dark brown that at first 

 sight they seemed quite different from the ordinary plant and 

 approaching very near to it, as figured by Letellier, the 

 only difference being that the stem was of a brownish tint 

 and deeply striate. Compare what is said by Fries in the 

 Hym. Eur. p. 91. 



2028. A. (Collybia) laxipes, Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 1 15 ; Batt. 

 p. 46, tab. ix. fig. 1 (not fig. 5) . 



On a willow board in a heap of firewood, Sibbertoft, Dec. 

 29, 1883. 



This is scarcely more than a slender form of A. velutipes. 

 The specimens were scattered and for the most part solitary 

 and very pale, from growing in perfect darkness. One 

 group only was slightly ceespitose. 



2029. A. (Nolanea) piceus, Kalchb. tab. 12. fig. 3. 



Coed Coch, 1883. The small form figured by Kalch- 

 brenner, which looks very different from the large form 

 figured by Cooke. Dr. Badham sent from East Bergholt a 

 fish-scented Agaric ; but it was a Lepiota too imperfect 

 to describe. 



2030. A. (Pholiota) subluteus, Fl. Dan. tab. 1192. 

 Faldonside, Rev. D. Paul and W. B. Boyd. 



Stem nearly 6 inches high, § thick, somewhat tuberculose 

 at the base. Spores dull yellow, elliptic, "0004 to "0005 inch 

 long. 



An interesting addition to the list of British Agarics, as it 

 was known to Fries only by the ' Fl. Danica ' figure. Ring 

 rather ragged ; stem silky ; gills at first decurrent, pale 

 yellow. 



2031. A. (Pholiota) inauratus. Smith, Cooke, tab. 477. 

 On a fallen willow, Batheaston, &c. 



Formerly passed by as a form of Ag. squarrosus. 



2032. A. (Flammula) gymnopodius, Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 244 ; 

 Cooke, tab. 431. 



On pine sawdust, Munstead, T. Howse. 

 A grand addition to British Fungi.
