340 (iii., 217). Stereuni lohatum, Fr. Syn., ^. fasciatum, Sch., and when 

 young, 6". concolor, Jungh (Lloyd). Queensland: Imbil, August. New South 

 Wales : Mosman, April, spores 5 to 6 x 2-2 /a ; near Wauchope, February, identified 

 by Lloyd as the form ^. concolor, Jungh. (No. 371). We also found typical 

 vS. lohatum with 5^. tasmanicum on the Bunya Mountains, October. 



340 (a). Stereum tasma-nicum, Berk. Syn., 5. concolor. Berk. (Lloyd). 

 Queensland: Bunya Mountains, October, identified by Lloyd (No. 630). These 

 plants are hardly distinguishable from 6^. lohatum — a little thicker, uniform in 

 colour or with slight zoning, more velvety surface, hymenium a little less pale. 

 Typical examples of both have been found in the one locality (Bunya Moun- 

 tains). Probably there is only the one species in Australia. 



341 (iii., 221). Stereum (Hymenochaete) adustitm. Lev. Syn., ( ?) S. 

 z'illosum, Lev. (Lloyd). Queensland: Imbil, August, dark-brown acuminate 

 setae with blunt or sharp ends, 30 to 45 x 35 to 53 /x. 



342. Stereum, (Hym,enochaete) villosum. Lev. Clel. and Cheel, Proc. Linn. 

 Soc. N.S. Wales, xli., "1916, p. 864. New South Wales : Kendall, March, brown 

 setae, 25 to 42x5 fx (Lloyd, No. 367); Malanganee, August; Bullahdelah, 

 August; Kurrajong Heights, August, brown-pointed setae, 44-8 to 66x83 to 

 13-5 fi at base. 



CLAVARIACEAE. 



Clavaria. 



343. Clavaria cinerea, Fr. Cotton and Wakefield, Trans. Brit. Mycol. Soc, 

 vi., 1919, p. 178; Clel. and Cheel, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, xh., 1916, p. 868 

 (N.S. Wales). We have collected further specimens of this variable species in 

 New South Wales, and now in South Australia. The plants vary in shape from 

 almost simple clubs to much branching from a stout base, and though mainly 

 greyish in colour have been noted as showing tints from pale lilac-fawn and 

 pallid pinkish to greyish-brown ; spores subspherical 7 to 85 ix. New South 

 Wales : Sydney, May and December ; National Park, July ; South Australia : 

 Mount Lofty, June. The greyish-brown plants figured (pi. ii., fig. 4) have unusually 

 small spores (5 /x), even when compared with other collections from the same 

 locality (7 to 8-5 /x). Our notes as regards these specimens are as follows: — 

 Colour greyish, gregarious, up to 2 inches high, sometimes almost simple with 

 acute forking and subdivision into teeth at the apices, sometimes branching from 

 near the base, stem slightly rugose, spores subspherical, 5fx. Mount Lofty, June 

 (Miss Fiveash, Watercolour No. 22). 



TREMELLACEAE. 



HiRNEOLA. 



344. Hirneola polytricha, Mont. Clel. and Cheel, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. 

 Wales, xli., 1916, p. 865. Queensland : Bunya Mountains, October. New South 

 Wales : On Ficus platypoda, A. Cunn., var. mollis, Narrabeen, July, spores 

 curved, 13 to 14 x 52 fx — some of these specimens, after cooking, were eaten 

 by one of us (J. B. C), but proved to be very tough and almost tasteless, and 

 did not become properly mucilaginous ; on fallen log, Wingham, November ; 

 Mummulgum, December; on dead Ficus ruhiginosa, Desf., Cremorne, Sydney, 

 December; Cremorne, June; on dead fallen branch of Erythrina, Mosman (form 

 approaching H. auric ula-judae ) ; National Park, May. 



345. Hirneola auricula- judae, L. Clel. and Cheel, loc. cit., p. 865. New 

 South Wales : Bulli Pass, November ; on fallen Ficus, Mummulgum, December. 



346. Aiiricularia mesenterica, Fr. Cook, Handb. Austr. Fungi, No. 1143 

 (Queensland, Western Australia). New South Wales: Casino, October (D. J. 

 McAulifife), identified by Lloyd; Boatharbour, near Lismore, August, identified
