712. MeruUus molluscus, Fr. Syst. Myc. i. p. 3.29. Near 

 Penzance, J. Ralfs, Esq. 



713. Hydnum JVeinmanni, Fr. El. i. p. 136. On dead branches 

 with the bark still adherent. Bristol, H. O. Stephens, Esq. 



714. Hydnum alufaceum, Fr. Ep. p. 516. On old stumps, 

 Collweston, Norths. 



715. Corticium nudum, Fr. El. p. 221. On branches of elm, 

 yew, &c., common. Intermediate between C. incarnatum and 

 C cinereum. On the same branch indiN^duals occur very thin, 

 quite smooth and effused, while othei*s are thicker, more cinereous 

 and tuberculate. Spores oblong, shghtly curved, '0005 of an 

 inch long, *00015 broad. 



716. Corticium confluens, Fr. El. p. 218. On ash branches, 

 Wothorpe, Norths. Distinguished from the last more especially 

 by its white tomentose margin. In our plant the spores are 

 oblong, -0008 inch long, -0004 broad. 



The more perfect specimens have a few scattered papillae. 



717. Cyphella muscigena, (Pers.) Syn. p. 572. On moss, 

 especially Pol3^richum, or even on the bare ground. Hanham, 

 Oct. 1852, C. E. Broome. White with a slight ochraceous tinge. 

 At first flabelliform, fixed by a little down, at length laterally 

 confluent, downy above, often spathulate. Hymenium shghtly 

 corrugated. 



718. C. galeata, (Schum.) Fl. Sjell. p. 371. On mosses, 

 common. This is the Cantharellus l^evis, Eng. FL, and differs 

 from the former species in its dingy hue and bullate pileus. 



719. C. ochroleuca, n. s. Membranacea cupularis sursum 

 villosa ochroleuca ; margine demum fisso ; hymenio laevi pallide 

 ochraceo. On decayed bramble twigs. Batheaston, Oct. 1851. 



One line or more broad, at first cup-shaped, but mostly irre- 

 gular, then lobed or fissured, villous above, white tinged with 

 yellow ; hymenium even ochraceous, brighter than the pileus. 



A pretty little species allied to C Goldbachii. 



720. C. Goldbachii, Weinm. ! Ross. p. 522. On dead leaves 

 of Aira caspitosa. Spye Park, Wilts., C. E. Broome. 



This is very near C. cuticuhsa, from which it differs in its 

 villous coat, which Mr. Forster could scarcely have overlooked, 

 as it is almost visible to the naked eye. A Cyphella occurred in 

 the same locality on dead leaves of Carex paniculata, which we 

 cannot distinguish from C. griseo-pallida. 



721. Clavaria Botrytis, P. Bowood, Nov. 18, 1843, C. E. 

 Broome. 



722. Clavaria azalea, Schseff. t. 287. Leigh Wood, Bristol, 

 H. O. Stephens.
