NEW BRITISH FUNGI. 
43 
Russula citrina, Gillet. Hym, Supp. 6. 
Mild. Pileus fleshy, convex, more or less a little depressed in 
the middle, rather viscid when moist, smooth, a little wrinkled at 
the margin when old, of a bright citron yellow, ordinarily uniform, 
sometimes a little lighter at the margin, and occasionally also 
slightly tinted greenish (5-10 cent. diam). At length the centre 
of the pileus is discoloured and takes a pale ochraceous tint ; the 
epidermis is easily raised at the margin of the pileus. Gills white, 
slightly decurrent, bifurcate at the base, and occasionally also in 
the middle, broader at the marginal extremity, insensibly atten- 
uated towards the base. Stem solid white, striate, equal, or a little 
attenuated at the base, straight, or slightly flexuous ; flesh white, 
rather firm ; odour almost none; taste sweet, or very slightly 
acrid. 
In mixed woods. Autumn. 
Boletus aurantiporus, Kowse. 
Pileus at first fulvous ferruginous then pale gilvous, pulvinate 
then expanded, viscid, at length squamulose about the margin ; 
stem equal, beautifully reticulated with yellow and red, tubes 
deeply decurrent, pores broad, angular, golden yellow then orange, 
taming red when bruised^ flesh becoming slightly reddish. 
Under trees. Near Shere. {Rev. G. Sawyer.) 
Pileus about 2 inches broad, stem 3 inches long. 
Boletus granulatus, Fr. var. tenuipes. 
Pileus gilvous, viscid, streaked with minute fibrils when dry, 
stem 3J inches long, attenuated at the base, yellow, becoming 
rufescent, pores adnate, with faint decurrent lines on the top of the 
stem, flesh under the pileus roseate pink. 
On the ground. Monks’ Wood, Epping. 
Intermediate between B. bovinus and B. granulatus, with some of 
the features of both, and not readily to be referred to either. The 
Kev. M. J. Berkeley considers that it approaches most to B. 
bovinus, but the pores are smaller, and the tubes are shortened as 
they approach the stem. 
Feziza (Sepultaria) hybrida, Sow. 
It must always remain a question of individual opinion as to 
what is really the Peziza brunnea A. and S. and the Peziza 
hybrida, Sow., and whether both are the same species. Kecently 
Mr. Cedric Bucknall has submitted to us specimens of a Peziza 
which, in our opinion, approximates most closely to the species of 
Sowerby of anything we had previously seen. It was found 
growing between paving stones in an area at Bristol. In size 
attaining three-quarters of an inch in diameter. The disc orange 
red, but not deep ; externally brown, claa with fascicles of 
rather rigid, straight-pointed hairs ( 2 x *008 mm.). Sporidia 
elliptic (’016 x '008 mm.). The nearest approach in the size of 
sporidia to this species is the P. umbrata, Fr. (Mycographia, fig. 
137), but here all similarity ceases. The size is very much greater, 
the external hairs are fasciculate and straight as in P. gregaria^
