ADDITIONAL GUERNSEY FUNGI. 279 



Parasitic on the gills of Hygrophorus virgineus. Guernsey. A very 

 beautiful mould, and very conspicuous on account of its clear lilac colour. 

 Numerous specimens were received during the months of October and 

 November, 1897. 



Omphalia Luffii, Massee (sp. nov.) Pileus at first convex and more or less 

 undulate, becoming depressed at the centre, extreme margin usually up- 

 turned, old ivory colour, white when dry, even, glabrous, 2-3 cm. across, 

 flesh very thin, white ; gills crowded, decurrent, thin, 2 mm. broad, pale 

 wood colour, unchangeable ; spores elliptical, hyaline, smooth, 5 x 3p ; 

 stem 2-3 cm. long, 2 mm. thick at the base, thickened at the apex, often 

 crooked, solid, outside glabrous, polished, coloured like the gills. Smell 

 fragrant, spicy. 



On the ground, gregarious. Guernsey (Luff). Smell spicy, resem- 

 bling that of Clitocybe frag rans, to which the present plant bears a super- 

 ficial resemblance, but is readily distinguished by the short cartilaginous 

 polished stem and other features noted above. 



One species in the present list is new to Britain, viz. : 

 Lepiota carneifolia ; and nine others are worthy of note on 

 account of their extreme rarity on British soil : — 



Tricholonia ionides. Agaricus pratensis. 



T. scalpturatum. A. augustus. 



Marasmius Wynnei. Psilocybe squalens. 



Omphalia belliae. Pilobolus longipes. 

 Pholiota molliscoria. 



As illustrating the mildness of the climate as well as the 

 richness of the island from a mycological point of view, even 

 in mid-winter, it will be interesting to preserve the following 

 list of fifty-three Agarics collected in Guernsey during the 

 month of January ; many of these were sent more than once, 

 and from different parts of the island : —
