“ On an old stump. Sibbertoft. A very interesting addition to 
our mycology, and of great beauty.” — B. ^ Br. 
Folypozus (Placodezxnei) fomentarius, var. pomaceus, Pers. 
Syn. 531 . 
“ The common form on willow, which is very hard. Occurs also 
in Cornwall. This, however, is referred by Fries to P. igniarius, 
the true distinction of which species depends on the difference of 
the colour of the spores, which are dark and ferruginous, and not 
white as in P. igniarius and P. dryadeusP — B. ^ Br. 
Folypozus (Inodezmei) gossypinus, Fr. Hym. Fur. 566 . 
White. Pileus coriaceous, effused and reflexed, flattened, tomen- 
tose, zoneless, substance white, pores at the first doedaleoid, then 
angular, pale cinerous, dissepiments thin, toothed. — Leveille Ann. 
Sci. Nat. 1843, 124. 
On an old stump of Ulex. Sibbertoft. 
“ Distinguished at once by its dasdaleoid pores. We hoped to 
get a large supply of specimens this year, but the same stump, which 
was accidentally trodden down, has produced instead P. fumosus in 
great abundance.” — B. ^ Br. 
Folypozus (Resupinatus) Laestadii, Fr. Sr BerJt. 
Substance white, pores bright lemon-yellow, hymenium here and 
there tuberculate. — Ann. Nat. Hist. 1883, p. 373, No. 2025. 
On the underside of a deal board in a hothouse. 
“ Colour bright persistent yellow, very beautiful. We have no 
doubt that our plant is what is mentioned by Fries (Hym. Eur. 
575). It forms confluent patches many inches in length.” — B. ^ Br, 
Hymenochaete zubiginosa, Lev. Stezeum zubiginosum, Fr. Hym. 
Eur. 641 . 
On decaying wood. 
“ A very different species from Stereum tahacinum.^' 
Stezeum stzatosum, B. ^ Br. Ann. Nat. Hist. ( 1883 ), p. 374 , No. 2027. 
Effused, bright ochraceous white, smooth, becoming yellowish, 
here and there rugose, substance pallid, stratose ; the strata at 
length separating. 
On bark. Penzance. 
In addition, those authors propose a new genus for the reception 
of Aga?’icus (Clitocybe) laccatus and its allies, under the name of — 
LAC CARIA, B.<^.Br, 
Substance tough, hymenium confluent with the stem ; gills 
thick, powdered with the white globose spores. 
“ This is clearly quite as distinct from the genus Agaricus as 
Pussula and Lactarius, and cannot with any justice be included in 
the sub-genus Clitocyhe. We have several very distinct forms from 
Ceylon, besides our own Ag. laccatus, Ag. bellus, and one or two 
continental species. The amethyst-coloured form usually referred 
to Ag. laccatus is probably distinct. We have long seen the 
necessity of this separation, but were unwilling to add to the 
numerous genera already seperated from Agaricus, with greater or 
less reason.” — B. 4' Br.
