two species, we 6 siouletes Wall. a 4. aie proper. Schaeffer’s 
same view was taken by Fries (Syst. Myo. i. 821), + who recog- 
nized the two species: A. esculenius Wulf, oat ie identified 
spines Collybic clavus, placing with it as a ‘synonym gerne 
esculentus Wulf. Quélet is thus jeri for naming two 
distinct ee Collybia clavus. Both plants were regarded by 
Linneeu as the sam B, Di have ever eet been pe ee ai It was of

Agaricus Sc te apt: of Frie 
Collybia tenacella and var. ttoloniferd. The same remarks 
apply to these ioe which, along with m Mebaett (not in Mr. 
Smith’s book), Quélet subsequently (Flor. Myc. France, 1888) 
regarded as identical with esculenta, placing them all as synonyms 
under Collybia clavus (Schaeff.) Quél. 
Psalliota echinata, Agari aricus  pehinetta of Roth (Catal. Bot. 
1797-1806) was placed in the subgenus Psalliota by Fries (Epic. 
yet Myce. 1836-38). Quélet called it Psalliota echinata (Champ. 
ura et Vosges, pt. li. 1875), but subsequently (Flor. Myc. France, 
1888) placed i it in the genus Lepiota. Agaricus (Psalliota) hema- 
tosperma is also of Fries, but the name is not included in Mr. 
Smith’s book, for, as Mr. Rea ara out, the two species ine 
been proved by Boudier to be the 
Flammula rubicundula. This gers bit bape originally published 
as Agaricus (Flammula) rubicundula Rea ex Mass. in 
xxii., 1894. It is called Flammula vibrate by Saccardo (Syll. 
Fungi xiv. 1899), and Saccardo is quoted as the authority in 
Mr. Smith’s book, it not having been noticed that on the plate 
accompanying the sag 4 in Grevillea it is named Flammula 
deg ncits Rea. Rea should sic stand as the authority. 
ypholoma Ticadatioria: This was published by Mr. Smith 
as an aricus pseudostorea in Journ. "Bot. rags Eig and for the 
first time as Hypholoma pseudostorea by Mr. Rea in the Trans- 
actions of the Mycological Society (1904). Rea i is “ihursliee the

icholoma Russula. The “A” in this case is obviously a 
silacielck for “T,” the name of the genus (Tricholoma) coe at 
the top of the page.
