Plioliota adiposa, Fr. Pileus convex, 5-10 cm., 

 glutinous, yellow with darker squarrose scales; gills 

 broad yellow then ferruginous, adnate slightly rounded; 

 stem long, often bulbous, yellow, surface floccose, 

 ringed. 



Very common on dead wood. 



Of otheir Hymenomycetous Fungi not hitherto re- 

 corded as T'asmanian : — 



Hydnum cyatJuforme, Sch. With a central stem, 

 squamous, very like a Thelephora, dark gray to white; 

 spines short, white, crowded. Spores hvaline, globose, 



Radulum molare, Fr. Resupinate, waxy developed 

 into irregular blunt tubercles; dull yellowish. 



On dead wood. 



Phlehia reflexa, Berh. Resupinate, upper margin 

 reflexed, purplish brown, waxy, raised into irregiilar 

 obtuse wrinkles more or less radiating. 



On dead wood. 



Boletus hadius, Linn. A large coarse Bolet which 

 only appears under introduced Pine trees. Surface 

 brown, tubes yellow, becoming greenish blue when 

 bruised. 



Mertdius attreus, Fr. Very thin and closely ad- 

 hering, golden yellow, margin mycelioid, paler. 



On dead wood. 



Hymenochcete purpurea, C . et Mor. Distingtiished 

 from the other members of the genus found in Tas- 

 mania by its purple colour. 



On dead wood. 



Glavaria rosea, Fr. Solitary or in small tufts, up 

 to 2 cm., obtuse, rosy, slender below, spores globose. 



On the ground. 



Hydnangium australiense often has the sterile base 

 carried through the gleba to the apex, assuming the 

 appearance of an obsolete stem. When this is so the 

 pileus is generally open below, exposing the gleba, 

 giving the plant all the characters of a Secotium. 



Hydnangium microsiJoriiim, n.s. Globose, 6 mm. 

 diameter, white to pale ochre. Peridium rather thick 

 and tough. Gleba dense, orange, cavities small, packed 

 with spores. Spores hyaline, globose, armed with short 

 spines or warts, 5-6 fx. diameter. 



Mt. Nelson Range.
