Rev. M. J. Berkeley on British Fungi. 357 
of Coldstream in his attempt to ascertain the Fungi of Ber- 
wickshire.” 
Tas. X. fig. 1. A. Bellie; 2, vertical section ; 3, transverse section of 
the stem magnified ; 4, spores highly magnified. 
*144,. A. pyxidatus, Bull. Abundant on the lawn before 
the Earl of Westmoreland’s house at Apethorpe. It is to be 
observed that the specimens published in the First* Fasciculus 
of dried Fungi under this name, are A. umbelliferus, L., a 
very different and common species, of which several forms are 
described in Eng. Fl. Ido not know by what accident the 
name was substituted. 
145. A. lampropus, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 203. Common in 
pastures. 
146. A. serrulatus, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 204. Ross-shire. 
Mr. Churchill Babington. Remarkable for its black-margined 
serrated gills. | 
147. A. echinatus, Roth. Cat. 2.t.9.f.1. A. fumoso-pur- 
pureus, Lasch in Linnea. My A. hematophyllus is undoubt- 
edly this species, as also A. oxyosmus, Mont. in Ann. d. Sc. 
Nat. The spores are sometimes abortive and colourless, which 
circumstance led me to place it in Lepiota. Fries in his ‘ Epi- 
crisis’ says, “ Sporidia ex Lasch brunnescenti-spadicea, sed é@ 
fundo variant; in albo fusco-virent! in nigro argillaceo-albi- 
cant, hinc Amic. Berkeley per litt. nuperius retulit se legisse 
similem Leucosporum, i. e. analogiam offeret cum duplici A. 
cepestipite.” My plants, though differing from the cause above- 
mentioned as to the colour of the spores, were evidently of the 
same species. 
148. A. cretaceus, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 280. non Bulliardi. 
A single specimen was found in the present summer by Mr. 
J. Henderson in a hot-house at Milton. Distinguished from 
A. campestris by its gills, which remain for a long time white, 
and are at length rose-coloured. By which circumstance, again, 
it is distinguished from A. excoriatus, which it somewhat re- 
sembles. 
149. A. ericeus, Pers., Fr. Syst. Myce. 1. p. 291. Common 
in exposed pastures after rain. Summer and autumn. 
150. A. sterquilinus, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p.308. King’s Cliffe. 
Gills entirely destitute of utricles. 
151. Merulius pallens, n. s. Totus effusus, tenuis, non se- 
parabilis, pallido-rubidus, carnoso-subgelatinosus, plicis pori- 
formibus, margine indeterminato. On fallen decayed branches. 
_* Tam happy to be able to state that the second edition of the First Fas- 
ciculus appeared on the Ist of November. The only species I have not been 
able to procure again is Stilbum piliforme.
