276. Marasmius archyropus, Fr. Ep. p. 378 ; Pers. Myc. Eur. 

 p. 135. t. 25. fig. 4. Bristol, H. 0. Stephens, Esq. 



A very elegant species. Mons. Desvaux informs me that Per- 

 soon's plant is identical with Ag. Jumolorum, Bull. Persoon's 

 figure exactly accords with what I have received from Mr. Ste- 

 phens. 



277. M. amadelphus, Fr. Ep. p. 380. Bristol, H. 0. Stephens, 

 Esq. On ash twigs. 



278. Boletus viscidus, Linn. Fl. Suec. no. 1248. Bristol, H. 

 0. Stephens, Esq. 



Distinguished at once from B. luteus, Grevillii, &c. by its brown 

 spores. 



*279. Disdalea confragosa, P. I have received fine specimens 

 of this rare species from H. 0. Stephens, Esq., gathered near 

 Bristol, and from C. E. Broome, Esq., collected at Spye Park, 

 Wilts. Precisely the same species occurs in New Zealand. 



280. Hydnumgraveolens, Delastre, Fr. Ep. p. 509. Found two 

 successive summers at Dolgelley by J. Ralfs, Esq., from whom I 

 received my specimens. 



When fresh he informs me it is extremely beautiful, being dark 

 in the centre with a white border. The prickles are pale, and the 

 sporidia evidently white. The whole plant smells extremely strong 

 of melilot, and after it has been dried three or four years the 

 scent is as strong as ever. 



281. H. spathulatum,YY.^\^.^.b\7. Apethorpe, Norths. On 

 an old log of wood. 



I have found this species once only. The whole plant sepa- 

 rates easily from the wood, and the teeth are broad and spathu- 

 late, by which characters it is readily distinguished. 



282. Grandinia papillosa, Fr. Ep. p. 528; Libert, PI. Ard. 

 no. 21. Wiltshire, C. E. Broome, Esq. On sticks which have not 

 yet lost their bark. By no means confined to fir or pine. 



283. Thelephora caryuphyllmi, Fr. Ep. j). 536 ; Berk. Brit. 

 Fung. Fasc. 4. no. 241. Abundantly at Bungay, Mr. D. Stock. 



This is perhaps the most beautiful of the British TJielephorce. 

 It assumes every form from that of a perfect cup with a central 

 stem to a much and irregularly branched frond, in which state it 

 is Clavaria jtabeUaris, Batsch. When once seen it cannot be con- 

 founded with any of the neighbouring species. 



*284. T. cristata, Fr., Berk. Brit. Fung. Fasc. 4. no. 243. 

 Bungay, Mr. Stock. 



This species is, I believe, often confounded with T. mollissima, 

 which is in reality of a very dilBTerent nature. This is much more 

 after the fashion of T. incrustans, with which it agrees as to the 

 colour of the spores, and lias the hymenium white.
