Rev. M. J . Berkeley and Mr. C. E. Broome on British Fungi. 403 



The spores of this species have a pale umber tint ; they are 

 nearly globose and about -0002 inch in diameter. 



701. Hygroj)horus Colemannianus, Blox. Pileo subcarnoso 

 umbonato umbrino, centro excepto expallente, laevi^ udo striato 

 viscidulo ; stipite subsequali subsericeo albido ; lamellis latiusculis 

 pileo subconcoloribus distantibus ; interstitiis rugoso-venosis. 

 In grassy pastures, Twycross, Warwickshire, Rev. A. Bloxam. 



Pileus 1-2 inches broad, at first subcampanulate, at length 

 expanded, strongly umbonate, reddish umber, paler when dry, 

 except in the centre ; when moist striate and very obscurely 

 viscid. Stem 1 inch or more high, 1-2 lines thick, brittle, fibrous, 

 nearly equal, white, very slightly tinged with umber, somewhat 

 silky ; gills umber, but paler than the pileus, strongly decurrent, 

 broad, distant ; interstices strongly veined and rugose. Spores 

 •00025--0003 inch long, obovate. 



This may possibly be the supposed form of H. sciophanus, 

 figured by Batsch under the name of A. fragilis, f. 215 ; but if 

 so, it can scarcely be the same species with that which is figured 

 in ' Flora Danica,^ t. 1845. f. 2. A figure will appear in the 

 ' History of Leicestershire/ 



702. H. liEtus, Fr. Ep. p. 329. Open commons, Hanham, 

 near Bristol, C. E. Broome. 



Spores "0003 inch long, nearly globose. 



703. Lactarius turpis, Weinm. Syll.2. p. 85. In or about fir 

 woods, as at East Bergholt, Sufiblk, Leigh Down near Bristol. 



Growing to a very large size, and remarkable for its yellow, 

 olive or umber hue. This is^. necator, P., but not of Bulliard, 

 which appears to be exclusively L. torminostis. 



704. Lactarius theiogalus, Bull. t. 567. f. 2. King^s Cliffe, 

 Sept. 1852. 



This is now separated from the more common form, to which 

 Fries gives the name of L. chrysorheus. The milk of L. theio- 

 galus does not assume so bright a yellow tint as that of L. 

 chrysorheus. 



^Lactarius chrysorheus, Fr. Ep. p. 342. A. theiogalus, Eng. 

 Fl. Extremely common. 



705. Lactarius pallidus, Pers. Syn. p. 431. In woods, Bowood, 

 C. E. Broome. 



706. Lactarius camphoratus, Fr. Ep. p. 346. On the ground in 

 woods. Leigh Wood, near Bristol, H, 0. Stephens, C. E. Broome. 



707. Russula ochroleuca, Pers. Syn. p. 443. Abundant in fir 

 plantations, Apethorpe, Sept. 2, 1852. 



708. Marasmius Stephensii, n. s. Fasciculata ; pileo depresso 

 centro rugoso vinoso-maculato stipite cavo torto apice farinaceo 

 albo deorsum nitido nucicolori; lamellis distantibus albidis. 

 Amongst dead beech leaves, near Dursley, Oct. 17, 1845.
