About one-fourteenth only may be considered as subtropical forms, while nine-elevenths are European, 
whereas in the New Zealand Fungi we have subtropical forms in the proportion of 1 to 3.

The Tasmanian species of this large genus are extremely numerous, and, as Fries has remarked of those of 
Australia, in many cases identical with European forms. Almost every tribe has its representative. The common 
Mushroom and the nearly allied 4. arvensis are abundant, but there are few, if any, other esculent varieties. (Name 
from Agaria, a region in Sarmatia.) 
l. Agaricus (Amanita) ananzeceps (Berk. in Hook. Lond. Journ. vii. p. 572). 
Has. On the ground: Penquite, March, Guna. 
2. Agaricus (Amanita) grossus (Berk.); albus, pileo crasso carnoso plano-hemisphzrico verru- 
coso quandoque areolato, stipite bulboso fibrilloso, volva adnata, lamellis latis adnatis rotundatis. 
Has. On the ground, J. D. H. 
White. Pileus 4 inches across, hemispherical, slightly flattened, thick, fleshy, covered with large warts, some- 
times areolate; margin incurved. Stem bulbous, 3 inches high, above an inch thick; veil none; volva adnate, 
sometimes obscure. Gills $ inch broad, rounded behind, adnate.— A very large, coarse species, to which I can point 
out no near ally, except possibly 4. excelsus. The stem however is short in proportion to the size. It approaches 
in some respects such Lepiote as A. Vittadini. It seems to be hemispherical in every stage of growth. The 
rounded gills at once distinguish it from 4. ananeaceps. 
9. Agaricus (Lepiota) procerus (Scop.; Fr. Epicrisis, p. 12). 
Has. On the ground: Penguite, Gunn. 
One specimen is exactly 4. procerus, Krombholz, fig. 10, with its smooth stem; another resembles 4. graci- 
lentus, Kromb. ; and a third is very near 4. mastoideus. All however formed apparently a single group. 
4. Agaricus (Lepiota) cristatus (Fr. Ep. p. 15). 
Has. On the ground: Penquite, May, 1846, Gunn. 
5. Agaricus (Tricholoma) nudus (Bull. t. 439). 
Has. On the ground: Penquite, May, 1846, Gunn. 
6. Agaricus (Clitocybe) inversus (Scop.; Fr. Ep. p. 70). 
Has. On the ground: Penquite, May, 1846, Gunn. 
: T. Agaricus (Clitocybe) schizophyllus (Berk.); cespitosus, connatus, pileo convexo, stipite car- 
tilagineo-fibroso, basi spongioso-tomentoso, lamellis decurrentibus demum margine fissis.
