530 Fungi found at Roxburgh. By Eev. David Paul. 



Fungus frequently this year, at Faldonside, Bowhill, 

 Butherford, and Sunlaws, although I never noticed it in the 

 district before. Want of observation may have had some- 

 thing to do with that, but I think the Fungus must have 

 been unusually plentiful. 



8. Ag. (Futoloma) jubatus, Fr. At Sunlaws ; August ; on lawn, 



not un common. 



9. Ag. (Eutol.) sericeus, Bull. At Sunlaws ; October, may be 

 distinguished at once from pascuus by its strong scent. 



10. Ag. (Pholiota) uxicolor, Fl. D. At Boxburgh ; Oct. Nov. on 



decayed wood; often difficult to distinguish from marginatum. 

 Not uncommon, this year at least. 



11. Ag. {Flammda) sapineus, Fr. In Butherford woods in abun- 

 dance on a heap of sawdust ; October. 



12. Bolbitius Boltoni, Fr. At Simla ws, on cow pasture at edge 



of plantation ; October. 



13. Cortlnarris triumph a.xs, Fr. On grassy side of path at 



Sunlaws ; October 1 885. A very handsome and rare Fungus. 

 I submitted my specimens to Bev. M. J. Berkley. 



14. Paxillus pannoiles, Fr. On sawdust at Butherford ; Sep- 

 tember. Bemarkable and uncommon, growing in large 

 masses. 



1.3. Polyporus amorphus, Fr. On fir stump Boxburgh ; Septem- 

 ber; small, beautifully arched and imbricated. 



16. Scleroderma verrucosus, Bers. At Floors, on bare soil ; 

 October 1885. 



Additional Notes. Ac phalloides, Fr. has already been recorded 

 by Mr A. Jerdon from the Jedburgh district with the note, 

 not common [Trans. 1863 ^?. 23). I have never seen it here 

 until this year, when I found a few good specimens at Sun- 

 laws. Ag. lenticular is, Zasch, I recorded in 1881. This year 

 I found one other specimen of it in the same plantation at 

 Butherford, and its occurrence perhaps deserves to be noted 

 again. It is a large and handsome Amanita. — Ag. echinatus, 

 Roth, has again sprung up in large quantities in Mr Boyd's 

 rockery at Faldonside. I believe it has not been elsewhere 

 observed in the district. (See Trans. 1884,^?. 531) on the 

 same page the fungus recorded as Ag. spongiosus has appear- 

 ed regularly since on the same bog, and it proves to be Ag. 

 corticatus, Fr., an uncommon species, but not so rare as 

 spongiosus.
