358 Rey. M. J. Berkeley on British Fungi. 
Sherwood Forest, Notts. Grace Dieu Wood, Leic. Found 
by myself and Mr. C. Babington. 
Forming large entirely resupinate effused patches several 
inches long and broad. Distinguished from every state of M. 
tremellosus by the total absence of a pileus, its thinness and 
its minute pores. 
*152. Thelephora tabacina, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 437. (non 
Sowerbei.) Abundant in Grace Dieu Wood upon dead hazel 
stems. Auricularia tabacina, Sow., as I have ascertained from 
an inspection of the very specimens figured, is Thelephora 
spadicea, Fr. I have seen an authentic specimen of Persoon’s 
T.tabacina, Myc. Eur. p.118, in M. Desmaziéres’s Herbarium, 
which is undoubtedly 7. spadicea, Fr., with the following note 
in the handwriting of Persoon attached to it: “ On confonde- 
roit volontiers cette espéce avec le T. hirsuta en ayant leméme 
port, mais la couleur est constamment ferrugineuse, et la vil- 
losité déprimée.” I cannot find any separate notice of T. spa- 
dicea either in the ‘ Synopsis’ or ‘ Myc. Eur?’ 
*153. T. lactescens, Berk. Eng. FI. vol. v. part 2. p. 169. 
This appears from an authentic specimen in M. Desmaziéres’s 
Herbarium to be T. salicina, Pers. Myc. Eur. 1. p. 132, a spe- 
cies referred by Fries in his ‘ Index Alphabeticus’ doubtfully to 
T. mollis. It should seem, however, to be very different. ‘The 
species is common, and occurs on various kinds of wood. 
154. Clavaria flaccida, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p.471. Klotzsch 
exs. n. 122. King’s Cliffe. 
155. C. rufa, Fl. Dan. t. 775. f. 1. Abundant at Tansor, 
Norths., in a grass field. My specimens accord exactly with 
what is figured in Fl. Dan., except that the tint is not so deep. 
It appears a very distinct species. 
156. Peziza (Al. Helv. Pust.) succosa, n.s. Media, integra, 
sessilis, hemisphezerica, pallidé cereo-brunnea, extus pallidior, 
margine inflexo; carne flavo-succos4. On the naked ground 
in woods, generally dispersed, but seldom abundant. Cup one 
inch in diameter, hemispherical or subglobose, with the mar- 
gin incurved ; within of a pale waxy brown, without paler and 
mealy. The flesh when broken pours out a yellow juice. 
Asci elongated, slightly flexuous, containing eight elliptic spo- 
ridia, each of which contains two sporidiola. Paraphyses linear. 
Tas. X. fig. 5. P. succosa, nat. size; 6, vertical section; 7, asci and 
paraphysis; 8, sporidium. 
*157. P. furfuracea, Roth, Cat. Bot. 2. p. 257. A small 
variety only of this is mentioned in Eng. Fl. Mr. C. Babing- 
ton finds the state figured by Roth very abundant on twigs 
of alder at Thringstone, Leic.
