NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN FUNGI. 439 
P. semilanceata, Fr. var. ccerulescens, Cooke.—We have 
found this British species amongst grass on the roadside 
at Neutral Bay, Sydney. As in some of the specimens the 
cap and stem became bluish-green, we bave placed our 
species under the variety ccerulescens, though Massee seems 
doubtful as to whether this is a valid variety. The spores 
measured 10°4 to 11 x 5°5 to 6°8p. 
PAN AOLUS. 
Of nine species of Panzeolus recorded for Australia, none 
are given by Cooke for New South Wales. We have met 
with three, perhaps four or five, species. 
Panceolus ovatus.—Cooke records two white viscid species 
one, ?. ovatus, for Victoria, and the other, P. eburneus, 
for Queensland. The only differences that appear to exist 
in the descriptions of these two are that the first is ovate, 
at length cracked and witha stuffed stem, and the last named 
is convex then campanulate with a hollow stem. The 
Spore measurements are practically identical, andit seems 
probable that the plants are also. We have met witha. 
white viscid species of Panzeolus in three localities, the 
Spores measuring 14 to 19 x 8°5 to 124. The pileus is 
intensely viscid and the whole plant pure white, later 
turning a pale brownish tint. The stem is solid and the 
gills greyish black, with a white, finely serrate edge. 
Milson Island, Hawkesbury River, April 1913; Berry, 
September 1913; Neutral Bay, Sydney, April 1914. Prob- 
ably also Coonamble, August 1912. On dung or manure- 
heaps. From the solid stem, we place the species under 
P. ovatus. 
P. retirugis.— Recorded by Cooke for Victoria. We have 
found it, with certainty, once, at The Oaks, N.S.W., in 
June 1914. Spores 13°5 to 15°5 « 7 to 85». On dung. 
P. sphinctrinus.—This species is not recorded for Aus- 
tralia. We have found on dung occasional specimens
