180 Messrs. Berkeley and Broome on British Fungi. 



On the clay of the marlstone, Hothorpe, Nov. 10, 1881, 

 Miss Ruth Berkeley. The spores of this species are oblonj^, 

 "0004 inch long, not irregular, and more or less angular, as in 

 the plant usually referred to A. depluensj as figured by Hoff- 

 mann ; so that its affinities seem rather to be with Crepiclotus 

 than Claudopus. 



The present is exactly the plant of Batsch ; and we think 

 it better to leave the name with what has formerly been 

 considered his species, and retain that of Persoon. ^1. deplnens 

 occurred in 1881, on sawdust, at Coed Coch, just as it 

 is figured by Hoftmann. It has sometimes a distinct stem, 

 as we have ourselves found it. The gills in A. epigams are no 

 longer red when dry. 



1950. A. (Hypholoma) Jacrymahundus^ Fr. Ic. 134. fig. 1. 

 The species figured in the ' Icones ' occurred last October 



at Coed Coch and near Hereford. What has usually passed 

 under this name is A. velutinus, P. We find the spores "0003- 

 •0004 inch long, in A. pyrrhotrichus -OOOo-'OOOG. 



*^. (Hypholoma) cascus, Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 294. What 

 we described in the " Notices " as an abnormal state of A. ap- 

 pendiculatus is undoubtedly this species. 



1951. A. (Hypholoma) pilulcvformis^ Bull. t. 112. 

 Penzance, Mr. Bali's. This is possibly a veil-bearing state 



of the very common A. spadiceus^ though Fries says " velum 

 etiam primitus absolute nullum." We are inclined rather to 

 consider it the young of A. hydro])hihis^ Bull. t. 511 ; still 

 we think it right to record its occurrence in Cornwall. AVe 

 do not suppose with Fries that it has any thing to do with 

 BoJlnti'us. 



1952. A. (Psilocybe) hches, Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 303. 



On grass by the side of a chestnut-plantation amongst dead 

 leaves. Hothorpe, Miss li. Berkeley, Nov. 19, 1881. 



Not exactly the form figured by Fries in the ' Icones,' as 

 the stem is taller ; but the colour of the hygrophanous pileus is 

 the same exactly, the spores atropurpureous. Pileus at first 

 obtuse ; but in drying it becomes spuriously and minutely um- 

 bonate. Spores "0007 inch long. 



*A. (Psathyra) corrugis^ P. iSyn. p. 424. 



Shanklin. The short form figured by Corda in Sturm's 

 Deutschl. Fl. under the name of A. vinosus. 



1953. A. (Psathyra) gossyjn'nus, Bull. t. 425. fig. 2. 

 Coed Coch, Oct. 1881. Spores "0004 to '0005 long. 



1954. A. (Psathyra) nolifungere, Fr. Hym. Eur. ]). 309. 

 Amongst moss. Sibbertoft, Sept. 3, 1881. Spores •00055 



long, more elongated than in A. gossyjjinus. A. ^.^eyinaiMi', 

 Quelet, = ^. scmivestiiusj B. & Br.
