HYGROPHORUS CLARKII B. & Br., AND H. KARSTENII 
Sacc. & Cus. 
By Worrsineton G. Suita, F.L.S. 
In the Annals and Magazine of Natural History for May, 1873, 
p. 341, Messrs. Berkeley and eet heegisae a new, large and 
remarkable Hygrophorus under the of H. Clarkii as follows :— 
‘' Fragilis: pileo convexo, Pabians bibihbb livido-cinereo, viscoso ; 
margine levi; stipite concolori, cavo; lamellis latis, distantibus, 
crassis, adnatis, albis. Street, ae? 8 1872, J A. Clark, no. 1788. 
Gills in ao specimens nearly 4 in 
escription is imperfect, ot? of “tar as it goes correct, 
The examples from which the description was made were sent 
to me by Mr. Clarke, and I forwarded them to Mr. Berkeley with a 
water-colour drawing of three examples, a section and a drawing, 
with measurement, of the spores. This drawing has fren 3 been i in 
the National Collection of Hotany at the British Mus 
In 1874 Fries copied the description without sitersticin'? in his 
Hymenomycetes Europa, p. 4 
886 Stevenson in his British Fungi Bin 82) reproduced the 
description in English, but added “ In pastures.’ 
In 1887 Sacca ard i in his Sylloge (v. 406) copied the Berk. & Br. 
‘in tee ” and gave the measurement of the spores as 12x 
Accompanying Dr. Cooke’s description is a plate,—Zliustrations, pl. 
934, a, of what purported to be H. Clarkii B. & Br., but the plate 
has no resemblance whatever to H. Clarkii, and the spores illus- 
trated are not right either in size or shape. 
1893 Mr. Massee, in his British Fungus Flora (ii. 349), ex- 
tended the description of H. Clarkit very much, apparently from 
ooke’s figure, and as this figure has no —— to the ial 
plant, of course all Massee’s additions are 
The mistakes are best seen by sunbnisted abe cliarapiaes as follows:—
