19G OUTLIXKS OF IJKITISII FUNGOLOGY. 



On stumps of pines, Wooclnewton, Nortliamptonsliire. 

 Coniptou Basset, Wiltsliire, Miss Dalhi/. Pileus several 

 inches across, olivaceous-brown ; stem sometimes obsolete, 

 when present densely velvety. AMthcring's A. aurantio-fer- 

 rnyineus is referred to this species, but a figure sent to me by 

 Fries shows me that Secretan's quotation must be wrong. 



3. P. Panuoides, Fr. ; pileus fleshy, conchate, at length 

 smooth, dirty-yellow, elongated behind, sessile or stipitatc; 

 gills crowded, decurrent, branched, dirty-yellow. (Plate 12, 

 fig. Q.)—Sow. t. 403. 



In cellars, on sawdust, etc. Not common. In profusion 

 at a sawmill, Coed Coch, 1858 and 1859. Closely resembling 

 the last. 



6. GOMPHIDIUS, Fr. 



Pileus top-shaped. Hymenophorura confluent with the 

 stem. Gills slightly branched, formed of a mucilaginous 

 membrane, edge acute. Spores fusiform. 



1 . G. glutinosus, Fr. ; pilous obtuse, glutinous, purple- 

 brown ; gills dirty-white, then cinereous ; trama none. — Soiv. 

 t. 7. 



In fir-woods. Not uncommon. Pileus 3 inches across. 

 Stem yellow within, and frequently at the base. 



2. Gr. viscidus, Fr. ; pileus at length umbonate, viscid, 

 brownish-red ; gills purple-umber, truly branched ; trama like 

 tlie substance of the pilous. — Soiv. t. 105. 



Under Scotch firs. Larger than the last. Stem deep 

 rhubarb-colour within. 



3. G-. gracilis, B. and Br. ; pileus eouico-hemisphcrical,
