25. Agaricus (Pleurotus) Tasmanicus (Berk.) ; pileo reniformi levi glabro pellicula gelatinosa 
vestito, stipite brevissimo tomentoso 1. obsoleto, iamellis latis subdistantibus tenuibus. 
Has. On dead wood, Archer. 
Pileus 1 inch or more across, reniform, smooth, even, clothed with a thin gelatinous pellicle. Stem short, pure 
white, downy, sometimes quite obsolete. - Gills broad, distant, crisped when dry, decurrent where the stem is un- 
usually elongated.—This species does not appear to be resupinate in any stage of growth; still it is allied to 
A. algidus, which is constantly sessile. 
26. Agaricus (Pleurotus) burssformis (Berk.) ; pileo postice affixo burseeformi albido tomentoso 
antice glabrescente, lamellis subdecurrentibus striatis. 
Has. On dead bark, ArcAer. 
Ochry-white. Pileus 2 inches across, fixed by a little white down, purse-shaped, densely tomentose behind, 
smooth in front; margin incurved. Stem short, nearly smooth. Gills crowded, moderately broad, slightly decur- 
rent, marked with transverse streaks. Spores subglobose, ¿157 inch long, pale tan-coloured.—I know of no species 
with which this singular Agaric can be compared. The form and adherent pileus, accompanied by a short stem, 
etc., are very peculiar. 
27, Agaricus (Pleurotus) applicatus (Batsch.; Fr. Ep. p. 157). 
Has. On bark and dead wood, Archer. 
98. Agaricus (Volvaria) parvulus (Weinm. Ross. p. 258). 
Has. On decayed wood, Archer, 
A variety with a cinereous pileus. 
29. Agaricus (Pluteus) cervinus (Scheff. t. 10). 
Has. On decayed wood, May, 1846, Gunn. 
A form with a pallid, fibrillose stem. 
30. Agaricus (Entoloma) panniculus (Berk.) ; pileo tenui campanulato obtuso flocculoso stipi- 
teque deorsum incrassato fibrilloso basi albo-tomentoso atro-violaceis, lamellis adnatis secedentibus. (Tas. 
CLXXXI. Fig. 5.) 
Has. Amongst Fern, March, 1856, Archer. 
Pileus broadly campanulate, 14 inch across, obtuse, but not distinctly umbonate, thin except in the centre, 
dark-violet, flocculent. Stem of the same colour as the pileus, 22 inches high, 13 line thick, fibrillose, thickened at 
the base, and clothed with cottony down. Gills moderately broad, scarcely ventricose, broadly adnate, but seceding. 
Spores oval, with several prominences, 3757 inch long. Smell unpleasant.—This belongs to the Leptonoid group 
of Entoloma, resembling such species as 4. Lappula, but without the slightest trace of an umbilicus.—PLATE

$1. Agaricus (Nolanea) pascuus (Pers. in Scheff. t. 229). 
Has. Amongst leaves, on the ground, Archer. 
There is a single specimen also in the collection of a Rhodosporous Agaric, quite indeterminable, with similar 
spores, but adnexed gills. 
82. Agaricus (Pholiota) mutabilis (Scheff. t. 9). 
Has. On dead wood, Archer. 
33. Agaricus (Naucoria) furfuraceus (Pers. Syn. p. 454).
