45. Agaricus (Hypholoma) dispersus (Fr. Ep. p. 222). 
Has. On dead wood, Archer. 
A small form, 4 inch across. 
46. Agaricus (Psilocybe) spadiceus (Scheff.; Fr. Ep. p. 225). 
Has. On dead wood, Archer. 
47. Agaricus (Psathyrella) disseminatus (Pers. Syn. p. 403). 
Has. Amongst Moss, Archer. 
Gen. II. COPRINUS, P. 
Hymenophorum a stipite discretum. Lamelle membranacex, primum stipato-cohserentes, dein difu- 
entes. 
Distinguished from Agaricus by their deliquescent gills, and from Bolbitius principally by their habit, and 
black, not coloured spores. The species appear to be rare in Tasmania, though there is a trace, in the collections, 
of one or two besides the common C. stercoreus. (Name from kompos, dung.) 
1. Coprinus stercoreus (Fr. Ep. p. 251). 
Has. On dung, Archer. 
Gen. III. CORTINARIUS, Fr. 
Hymenophorum cum stipite contiguum. — Lamelle membranacex, trama floccosa, pileo coherentes, 
persistentes, decolorantes. Vedum araneosum. 
Distinguished from Agaricus by their peculiar habit and arachnoid veil. Sporidia cinnamon-red, —The Euro- 
pean species are extremely numerous ; one only appears to occur in Tasmania. (Name from cortina, a veil.) 
1. Cortinarius (Myxacium) Archeri (Berk.) ; pileo convexo carnoso rivuloso brunneo-violaceo, 
stipite valido aequali viscoso violaceo, lamellis pallido-argillaceis latiuseulis adnatis transversim rugosis. 
Has. On the ground: Cheshunt, April, 1856, Archer. (Tas. CLXXXL Fig. 7.) 
Pileus convex, fleshy, minutely rivulose, viscid, smooth, of a brownish violet. Flesh pallid, tinted near the 
gills with violet. Stem stout, equal, obtuse, 1 inch thick, viscid, violet, hollow above. Veil viscid. Gills mode- 
rately broad, adnate, subdecurrent, pale clay-coloured, slightly tinted with violet. Spores obliquely ovate, eather 
elongated, 41. inch long, and half as broad; sometimes however they are much longer.—This su. 3: evidently 
closely allied to C. elatus, but the stout equal stem, thicker flesh, ete., distinguish it. The drawing exhibits merely 
the young unexpanded plant, and the single specimen is evidently that which was designed. In consequence of the 
upper part of the stem being hollow, the stem in the dried plant appears bulbous.—PLATE e, Fig. 7i 
a a, plant, nat. size; 5, vertical section ; c, spores upon sporophora, magnified ; d, spores, — highly magnes. 
No certain specimen of the genus Hygrophorus appears in the collections, but there Sa doubtful species, re- 
sembling H. cossus, and a drawing of a minute species with a solid stem, apparently allied to the small form of 
H miniatus. 
Gen. IV. LACTARIUS, Z7. 
Trama vesiculosa. Lamelle lactescentes. 
A genus containing many species, distinguished from others, except Russula, by the vesiculose Gr and from 
that by the milky gills. The spores are often, but not always, globose and echinulate. Tho Tasmanian species 
appear to be rare. I have seen only one besides that described, but unfortunately indeterminable. (Name from 
lac, milk.)
