All 



cent : 



Agaricus rhytopilus Mont. Petit Bordel. 



Pleurotus inconspicuus, sp. n. Pileo tenerrimo, pellucido, 

 candido resupinato, suborbiculari, planiusculo, albo basi villoso 

 adfixo; lamellis concurrentibus, distantibus, angustis, albis; sporis 

 ellipsoideis, basi apiculatis, 6x8|*. 



Hab. In ramentis siccis, Walliboo Valley. 



Gregarious; pileus 1-2 mm. across, very thin and pellucid, 

 entirely resupinate or partly reflexed. Allied to P. perpusillus, 

 from which the present species differs in the smaller size of the 

 entire fungus, and the narrow, distant gills. 



Plate 3Q5, fig. 8, an entire specimen, x 6 ; fig. 9, spores of same, x 400. 



Panus applanatus, sp.n. Besupinatus, coriaceus, applanatus, 

 orbicularis, sessili-adnatus, extus pallide ochraceus, tomentosus ; 

 lamellis latiusculis, concurrentibus, pallide ochraceis ; sporse ellip- 

 soidese, 6 x 3 p. 



Hab. Ad truncos, Walliboo Valley. 



Pileus 2-4 cm. diameter, very thin, coriaceous, as are also the 



thin, rather distant gills. Allied to P. patellaris, but differing in 



not being furfur aceous externally, and in the broader gills and 

 smaller spores.

Marasmius rigidiis Mont. Friendship. 



M. imititius Fr. Walliboo Valley. 



Heliomyces decolorans B. & C. Walliboo Valley. 



Crepidotus alveolus Lasch. Walliboo Valley. The specimens 

 are larger and have the margin more crisped and lobed than in the 

 typical European form, but there does not appear to be any good 

 specific, or even varietal, distinction. 



Psilocybe/ortunata Cke. Chateau Belair. 



Psathyrella modesta B. Chateau Belair. 



Polyporus picipes Fr. Walliboo Valley. 



P. zonalis Berk. Walliboo Valley. 



P. varius Fr. Petit Bordel. 



Femes aastralis Fr. var. stipitata. A very peculiar vari 

 the unmistakable hard cuticle and purple -brown substance c 

 having the pileus furnished with a lateral stem 4 in. loi_ , 

 thick, equal, rigid, erect. The entire fungus has exactly the habit 

 of Polyporus lucidas. Friendship Valley.
