Rev. M. J. Berkeley and Mr. C. E. Broome on British Fungi. 55 



This agrees in some respects with C. carionarm,Alb.& Schw., 

 which is said to be a variety of C. umbonatus, and must therefore 

 be very different from the present species. C. anthracophiluSy 

 Lev., appears more nearly allied, but has a very different habit, 



1135. C. crispus, Fr. Ep. p. 369. 



On branches of beech. Jedburgh, A. Jerdon, Esq. 



This verj'^ pretty species has occurred two years running. 

 The colour of the pileus varies from a yellowish brown to white. 



*Marasmius Stephensii, Bk. & Br., Ann. of Nat. Hist. ser. 2. 

 vol, xiii. p. 403. This is probably synonymous with Marasmius 

 terginus, Fr. 



1136. M. caulicinalis, Fr. Ep. p. 383. 



On the ground, amongst leaves, in a fir-wood. Ascot, Nov. 

 22, 1865. 



Pileus smooth, white tinged with ochre, at length sulcato- 

 striate; gills adnato-decurrent, connected by veins. 



Our plant seems paler in colour than that of Fries, but agrees 

 in essential characters. 



^Strobilomyces strobilaceus, Berk. Outl. p. 236. 



A specimen of this rare fungus was sent from Ludlow by the 

 Rev. A. Bloxam. 



1137. Polyporus (Anodermei) cuticularis, Fr. Ep. p. 458. 

 On trunks of trees. Burnham Beeches, C. E. Broome. 



The hairs are curiously trifid at the apex ; the spores yellow, 

 as in P. hispidus. 



1138. P. (Placodermei) /MfoM5, Fr. Ep. p. 466. 



On decayed trunks of trees. Batheaston, C. E. Broome. 



The specimen appears to have been gathered on a dead plum, 

 and exactly accords with one on poplar, from Fries, in the resu- 

 pinate state. It occurs on various trees, and is very distinct 

 from P. igniarius. 



1139. P. (Inodermei) hirsutus, Fr. Ep. p. 477. 



On dead trunks. Orton Wood, near Twycross, Rev. A. 

 Bloxam. 



Certainly a very rare species in England, though one of the 

 most common in warmer countries. The larger pores at once 



stinguish it from P. versicolor, zonatus, and velutinus. 



^Craterellus cornucopioides, Fr. Ep. p. 532. 



As some doubt has been raised with respect to the specific 

 difference of Cantharellus cinereus, it may be well to state that 

 both were gathered at Burnham Beeches last autumn, and that 

 the spores of the former are '0006 inch long by "00035, those 

 of the latter '0004 long by "00015. In the former, moreover, 

 the sporophores are forked above, and the spicules long and 

 often less than four in number; in the latter the sporophores 

 are obtuse and the spicules four.
