991. A. (Mycena) hamatopus, Pers. Obs. ii. p. 56. 



On old dead trunks. Bodelwyddan, Flintshire, Sept. 2, 

 1863. 



Tufted. Pileus moist, campanulate, then expanded, reddish, 

 with a tinge of purple, ^-1 inch or more across, striate, very 

 minutely rivulose; stem pale, rufous flesh-coloured, at first 

 thickened at the base, then nearly equal, farinaceous; gills dis- 

 tant, adnato-subdecurrent, white ; edge red ; interstices even. 

 Everywhere distilling, when broken, a dark-red juice. Far 

 larger than any form of A. sanguinolentus or A. crucntus. % 



992. A. (Mycena) cruentus, Fr. Syst. Myc. vol. i. p. 149. 

 On fir-cones, Bodelwyddan, Bodryddan, Flintshire. 



Pileus conic, obtuse, striate; margin inflexed, entire; sub- 

 stance at first rather thick in proportion. Stem rigid, smooth, 

 full of red juice, strigose at the base. Gills obtuse in front, 

 shortly adnate, white ; margin of the same colour. 



We are very glad to give this a certain place in our list, as 

 the plant quoted by Fries from Sowerby is very doubtful. 



993. A. (Mycena) hiemalis, Osbeck, Fr. Ep. p. 119. 



On trunks of trees. Apethorpe, Norths., Nov. 23, 1863. 

 Badminton, Gloucestershire. 



A more delicate species than A. corticola. 



994. A. (Omphalia) affricatus, Fr. Ep. p. 123. 



On Sphagnum. Aboyne, Aberdeenshire, at the top of the 

 Queen Hill, Aug. 9, 1862. 



Pileus | inch across, infundibuliform or deeply umbilicate, 

 hygrophanous, brown, then mouse-coloured, minutely virgate. 

 Stem compressed, tomentose at the base. Gills distinct, dis- 

 tant, ending abruptly, decurrent. 



995. A. (Pleurotus) corticatus, Fr. Mon. Hym. Suec. p. 236. 

 On an old prostrate elm. Belvoir Castle, Oct. 24, 1861. 



A hr%e and noble Agaric, perhaps too closely allied to A. 

 dryinub. 



Pileus excentric, 7 inches across, expanded, swollen in the 

 centre ; disk, especially in the centre, broken up into brownish- 

 grey silky scales, which are more minute towards the thin 

 strongly involute margin ; veil woven, adhering slightly to the 

 stem and margin. Stem 3 inches high, 1^ inch thick, pitted 

 and silky below the evanescent ring, firm and tough, mottled. 

 Gills rather broad, pure white, very decurrent, anastomosing 

 behind, sometimes forked ; edge entire. Smell rather strong. 



996. A. (Pleurotus) UgnatiUs, Pers. Syn. p. 368 ; Fl. Dan. 

 1. 1797. 



On beech-trees. Burnham Beeches, abundant in 1863. 

 First discovered by the Rev. G. H. Sawyer. 



The specimens agree precisely with the Flora Danica figure.
