List of Fungi (Hymenomycetes) found mostly in the 

 neighbourhood of Roxburgh in 1887 and hitherto 

 unrecorded front the district of the Club. By the Rev. 

 David Paul, M.A., Roxburgh. 



1. Agaricus (Tricholoma) inamcenus, Fr. In a wood at Rox- 



burgh, September; has the disgusting smell of Ay. 

 sulphureus. 



2. Ag. (Collybia) cirrhatus, Schum. At Sunlaws, September, 



growing very thickly over decayed leaves and blackened 

 Fungi. In the same group they vary greatly in size, some 

 being extremely minute and others nearly half-inch broad. 

 Akin to Ay. tuberosus, but without the tuber. 



3. Ag. ( Volcano) speciosus, Fr. On a heap of decayed stems 



of Jerusalem Artichoke at Sunlaws, September. This is a 

 handsome and rare Fungus ; I have only met with it once. 

 All the Voharicc indeed are rare, and I have not seen any 

 of them except this one and yloiocephalus (once). 



4. Ag. (Pholiota) durus, Bolt. In Mr Boyd's garden at Faldon- 



side, July. An uncommon Fungus here. 



5: Ag. {Flammula) carbonarius, Fr. Rutherford ; Bowhill, 

 Sept., Oct. On bare ground among the ashes of burnt wood. 

 Scarce at Rutherford ; in abundance at Bowhill. 



6. Cortinarius albo-violaceus, Fr. In a wood at Rutherford, 



September; not common. 



7. Gomphidius gracilis, B. and Br. In fir-wood at Sunlaws, 



September ; smaller than the others, and I think, uncommon 

 here. 



8. Lactarius pallidus, Fr. Rutherford, under Beeeh, Sept. 



9. Fistttlina hepatica, Fr. At the root of an oak tree, Bowhill, 



Sept. This is a rare Fungus here, though in some parts of 

 England it is very common. It is the " Beef -steak Fungus," 

 long known as edible, and said to be very nourishing when 

 cooked.
