430 Kev. M.J. Berkeley & Mr. C. E . Broome on British Fungi. 



1302. Clavaria sjnnulosa, P. Obs. ii. tab. 3. fig. 1. 

 In pine-woods. Coed Coch, 1866. 



Stem thick at the base, but not so thick as in Persoon's 

 figure. 



1303. G.fumosa, P. Comm. p. 76. 

 Frome, 1866, C. E. Broome. 



1304. Pterula multifida^ Fr. 



This interesting addition to our list of Fungi was commu- 

 nicated by Sir W. C. Trevelyan, Sept. 1865. 



1305. Dacrymyces sehaceus^ B. & Br. Albidus, subrotundus, 

 e filamentis varie ramosis, superne ssepe clavatis compositus ; 

 ccelo pluviali tantum conspicuus. 



Forming circular patches on twigs of ash and maple, in 

 winter. Bath, 1868, C. E. B. 



Allied to D. ccesius, Sommerf. Individual plants 2-4 lines 

 broad ; spores ovato -triangular, "0005 long, •0002-'0003 broad ; 

 filaments here and there breaking up into globose conidia. 

 Spores producing globose secondary spores. On the same 

 threads occur multiseptate, curved, fusiform spores, 'OOl-'OOS 

 inch long. 



Plate X\TII. fig. 2. a. D. sehaceus, nat. size ; b. group of threads with 

 two kinds of fruit, magnified ; c. spores ; d. ditto bearing secondary- 

 spores ; e. spores of diflerent fonns, one germinating ; /. fusarioid spores, 

 all more or less magnified 5 g. conidja. 



1306. Geaster tunicatiis, Vitt. Mon. p. 18, tab. 3. fig. 3. 

 Found in considerable abundance amongst Khododendra 



at Castle Ashby by Mr. Beech in 1869-1870. 



1307. Lycojyerdon Hoylei^ B. & Br. Peridio stipitato, sub- 

 globoso, verrucis rigidis fuscis elongatis echinato ; basi ste- 

 rili parca cum capillitio sporisque hlaciuis confluente. 



Beading, Mr. Hoyle, Oct. 1870. 



Stem 1 inch high, | inch thick, lacnnose, olivaceous within ; 

 pcridia 2 inches across; warts 1^-2 lines high; capillitium 

 and spores lilac ; spores globose, echinulate, '00015 in dia- 

 meter ; mycelium thread-like, white. 



Agreeing exactly with an authentic specimen of Persoon's 

 L. echinatum externally, who could, however, scarcely have 

 overlooked the lilac spores. The stem is lacunose, the cavities 

 vemicose. 



'^Lycojyerdon echinatum^ P. Syn. p. 146. 



Brought to the Fungus Show at South Kensington, Oct. 

 1870, from the neighbourhood of Marlow, by Mr. Sawyer. 



As far as the present specimens go, the species seems to be 

 a form of L. atropurpurcum. Vittadini refers it doubtfully to 

 L. Jiiemale. 



1308. Scleroderma geaster^ Fr. Syst. iii. p. 46.
