conidia globose, terminal, 8-9 /x diam., subfuscous or yellowish, 

 remarkably and radiately echinulate. (Tab. 516, fig. 3.) 



On rotten wood, Selby (Yorks), Mr. C. Crossland, November. 

 It is doubtful whether this belongs to the species of Saccardo, as 

 the conidia were always terminal, frequently in fours, like the 

 spores of Agaricus, but without sterigmata so far as could be seen, 

 at the most borne on faint denticules. The beautifully spinous 

 form of the conidia is especially well marked.

 t. 485, f. Ic, d.) 



Conidiophores wavy, pale-brown, cylindrical, septate, about 

 100 /x long, 4 [x thick, paler upwards. Head of conidia rather 

 large (16-20 /x), shining w^hite. Conidia oblong-fusiform, some- 

 what acute at each end, hyaline, 10-12 x S fx. 



On rotten wood, Studley Castle, March. These are the conidia 

 of Dasyscy]p)lia canescens (Phill.) Mass. Fung. Fl. iv. 346, in com- 

 pany with which they grew ; see Journ. Bot. loc. cit.

Mycelium whitish, hyphse 3-5 /x diam. Conidiophores erect, 

 cylindrical, branched above, articulations of branches fusoid. 

 Chains of conidia short, basifugal, branched, diverging. Conidia 

 ovoid or elliptic, somewhat apiculate at each end, 6-7 x 3-5 /x, 

 pale olivaceous, the ultimate conidia nearly round.
