NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN FUNGI. 44] 
also record it for Adelaide, South Australia, and Wellington, 
New Zealand. We have always met with it in close associ- 
ation with Pines. At Milson Island, young pines (Pinus 
sylvestris) were planted in virgin soil. Within four years, 
when the trees were only some ten feet or so high, this 
Boletus was foundin the grass at their base, together with 
another pine-loving fungus, Rhizopogon luteolus. At 
Richmond (Hawkesbury Agricultural College) and at 
Adelaide, B. granulatus and Thelephora sp. are found 
under pines. These three species are probably all intro- 
ductions brought to Australia associated with young pines. 
It is remarkable that we have as yet never found them not 
associated with species of Pine. The spores of Adelaide 
specimens were yellowish, 8°5 to 10°4 x 4°24, those from 
N.S.W. 9X 2°5 to 3u. Massee gives the size as 12 <3 to 4p. 
Boletus lacunosus, Cke. and Mass.—Previously recorded 
by Cooke for Queensland, and by one of us (H.C., loc. cit.) 
for Leura, N.S.W. Since found again at Cremorne, Sydney, 
and at Hill Top, Southern Line, in April, the description 
being as follows:—Cap very glutinous, 45 in. diameter, 
caramel-tinted, pinker brown in places, convex, soft to the 
touch like cotton-wool, edge ragged from remains of veil. 
Pores large, tubes separating from the stem, almost salmon- 
coloured (salmon-brown), up to 2 inch deep. Stem up to 6 
inches high, attenuated upwards, deeply fenestrated, pale 
brownish (specimen old), yellowish-green in places inside, 
spongy pith, substance white, unchanging. Spores pale 
brown, ends acuminate, spinulose, 15 to 15°5 x 7 to 7°Dp. 
(Cooke gives 15 x 10+). 
HYMENOGASTRACEA. 
Twenty-three British species of Hymenogastracez are 
recorded and ten Australian. We have met with four forms. 
Rhizopogon luteolus.—We have found this species on 
several occasions always in close proximity to species of
