tose, indicating the growth is interrupted, though probably 

 the fungus is annual. 



17. P. {Resup.) latus, n. s. Resupinate but with the mar- 

 gin here and there free ; 8 inches across, following all the 

 inequalities of the matrix. Above obscurely zoned dingy- 

 brown pruinoso-velvety ; flesh of the same colour as the pi- 

 leus, with a slight ferruginous tinge, suberoso-coriaceous. Hy- 

 menium wood- coloured, even; pores round, regular; dissepi- 

 ments thin. 



On branches, Mr. Gunn. A very distinct species, perhaps 

 better placed near P, sanguineus, amongst Api Biennes. The 

 colour is pecuhar, like that of the flocci of Lycoperdon pyri- 

 forme* 



18. P. (Resupinati) dcedaleoides, n. s. Altogether resupi- 

 nate, 3 — 4 inches across ; suborbicular, flesh very thin tan- 

 coloured of a close cottony texture. Hymenium wood- coloured, 

 pores large, rather deep, round, angular, ^'^th of an inch broad, 

 pale within ; dissepiments thin, at length splitting, in conse- 

 quence of which some portions of the hymenium put on the 

 appearance of a Dcedalea. 



On charred wood. The pores are large, otherwise it might 

 be supposed to be a resupinate state of P. veluiinus. 



19. Thelephora ruhiginosa, Fr. 



20. Thel. hirsuta^ Fr. 



21. Theh lobata, Kze. in Linn. 



22. Eocidia Auricula Jud<2, Fr. 



23. Bphceria concentrica, Bolt. 



24. Mitremyces fuscus, n. s. Deep brown. Simple or 

 caespitose. Calyptra hemispherical, pale red-brown w^ithin, 

 margin denticulate. Peridium thick, horny, granulato-squa- 

 mose above, supported below by the anastomosing, subcylin- 

 dric cartilaginous processes of the stem-like mycelium ; teeth 

 4 — 6, lined and bordered with bright vermillion, sometimes 

 partially frosted with yellow meal. Internal peridium white. 

 Sporidia forming a solid ball, broadly oval, dirty white. 



Epping forest. Van Diemen^s Land, in gravelly shady places, 

 Mr. Lawrence. Greatly resembling Mitremyces lutescens, but 

 the colour, which reminds us of Peziza melastoma ; is altoge- 

 ther different, and the peridium thicker and more horny.
