Has. On charred wood, Archer. 
Ceespitose, connate. Pileus 1 inch or more across, convex. Stem 2 inches high, 2 lines thick, stringy, with a thin 
cartilagino-fibrous coat, adhering by spongy down to the matrix. Gills decurrent, at length split at the margin after 
the fashion of Schizophyllum. The colour of the whole, when dry, is tawny, approaching to rufous.—This very sin- 
gular species may possibly some day constitute a new genus. I have however seen but a single group, consisting of 
three specimens. The gills are not split till the pileus is expanded. In the genus 4garicus it is nearest to 
A. coffeatus and its allies. 
8. Agaricus (Clitocybe) laccatus (Scop.; Fr. Ep. p. 81). 
Has. On the ground, Gunn, Archer. 
9. Agaricus (Collybia) radicatus (Relh.; Fr. Ep. p. 81). 
Haz. On dead wood, sunk in the ground: Penquite, May, 1846, abundant, Gunn. 
10. Agaricus (Collybia) morulus (Berk.); rufo-purpureus, pileo convexo carnoso stipiteque 
zequali albo-farcto horizontali asperulis, lamellis planis latis adnatis distantibus. (Tas. CLXXXI. Fig. 1.) 
Haz. On dead wood, Archer. 
Dark mulberry-brown. Pileus 1 inch across, convex, fleshy. Stem horizontal, rough, like the pileus, with little 
downy points, stuffed. Gills plane, distant, adnate, of the same colour as the pileus.—A fine species, resembling 
A. peonius, A. carneus, etc., but with distant, thicker gills. 4. carneus is confessedly near to Collybia, though 
placed in Zricholoma —PraATE CLXXXI. Fig. 1; a a, plant, naf, size; A vertical section; c, portion of pileus :—

11. Agaricus (Mycena) cohzerens (Alb. et Schw. p. 163). 
Has. On dead wood, Archer. 
12. Agaricus (Mycena) galericulatus (Scop.; Fr. Ep. p. 106). 
Has. On dead wood, Archer. 
13. Agaricus (Mycena) atrocyaneus (Batsch. fig. 87). 
Has. On dead wood, Archer. 
14. Agaricus (Mycena) interruptus (Berk.) ; pileo crassiusculo plano depresso livido pelliculá 
cartilagineá tecto, stipite e basi orbiculari applanata striata oriundo, lamellis erenulatis albidis pilei carne 
gelatinoso-carnosa descendente interruptis. (TAB. CLXXXL Fig. 2.) 
Has. On bark, Archer. 
Pileus 13 line across, plane, depressed, livid in the centre, clothed with a cartilaginous pellicle ; flesh subgela- 
tinous, separated from the stem by a groove, and interrupting the pallid, crenate, subdecurrent gills. Ce Mond 
ing, 2 inch high, 2 a line thick, rising from a flattened orbicular disc, and at first sunk into it, and marking it with 
raised lines by means of the gills.—This singular species is allied to Agaricus mucor, but is separated by numerous 
characters. The dried specimens do not show the portion of the gill within the groove, which is very distinetly 
represented in Mr. Archer’s drawing.—PLATE CLXXXL Fig. 2; a, plant, naf. size ; 2, ditto, magnified ; c, highly 
magnified section of the pileus, to show the interrupted gills. 
15. Agaricus (Mycena) capillaris (Schum. ; Fr. Ep. p. 119). 
Has. On Fern, chips, etc., Archer. 
16. Agaricus (Omphalia) Epichysium (Pers. Ic. Pict. t. 13. f. 1). 
Haz. On dead wood, Archer. 
17. Agaricus (Omphalia) carneo-rufulus (Berk.) ; pileo plano subcarnoso striato lameilisque 
decurrentibus pallide rufis, stipite adscendente flexuoso farcto. (Tab. CLXXXI. Fig. 3.)
