NEW BRITISH FUNGI. 
Referred by Fries to Russula emetica , but the persistently mild 
taste and other points separate it from that species. Pileus 3-4 in. 
diam., with the appearance of our usual form of R. rubra , with 
which it is easily confounded. It is somewhat doubtful whether 
it can be regarded as other than a mild variety of that species. 
Russula (Furcatae) ochro'viridis, CooJce. 
Pileus fleshy, flattened then depressed (4 in. or more), at first 
viscid, polished when dry, with a thin adnate pellicle, ochraceous 
towards the margin, disc olivaceous or fuliginous ; margin spread- 
ing, even, acute ; stem short, thick, 2 in. long, 1 in. thick, reticu- 
lately rugulose, white, rarely growing pallid, flesh fuliginous when 
cut, stuffed, spongy within ; gills attenuated both ways, lanceolate 
(6 mm. broad in the centre), crowded, many furcate, white, becom- 
ing a little dirty white when old. Spores white, subglobose 
(9x7 /x), faintly granular. Taste mild. 
On the ground. Kew, Arboretum, July, 1888. 
Resembles R. ochroleuca in the rugose stem, but differs in not 
becoming cinereous, in the dark, dingy olive centre of the pileus, 
narrow gills, discoloration of the flesh, and the mild taste. In 
habit it resembles R. furcata, but differs in the paler greenish 
ochre pileus, narrower gills, rugose stem, and discoloured flesh. 
Differs from R. ceruginea in the margin not being striate, in the 
stem being short and not smooth, and in the gills being crowded. 
Russula (Furcatae) maculata, Quel. Soc. Bot. Fr., 1877, t. 5, /. 8. 
Sacc. Syll. 1804. 
Pileus solid, convex, then plane, viscid, reddish flesh-colour, then 
pallid, then decoloured, spotted with purple or brown, margin un- 
dulate, and often darker (3 in. diam.), flesh white, peppery, re- 
minding one of the odour of rose ; stem short, solid, reticulated 
striate, white or somewhat rosy, then spotted with ochre. Gills 
attenuate behind, adnate, bifurcate, pallid sulphur, then somewhat 
peach-colour. Spores 10 /x diam. 
In woods. Epping Forest. 
Somewhat like R. depallens } but peppery, and without a grey 
stem, but with yellow gills. 
Russula (Fragiles) granulosa, CooTce. 
Acrid. Pileus convex, plane, then depressed or infundibuliform 
(2-3 in. diam.), at first viscid, ochraceous yellow, disc darker, 
breaking up into minute granules, margin even or faintly striate 
when old. Stem 2-3 in. long, \-l in. thick), minutely granular or 
mealy throughout, granules snow-white at the apex, fuscous below, 
internally white, spongy ; gills rather crowded, somewhat attenuated 
behind, nearly free, equal, rarely furcate, white ; spores rough, 
subglobose, 12 /x diam., apiculate, white. 
On the ground, under trees. Arboretum, Kew. 
Habit nearly that of R. ochroleuca , which it also resembles in 
colour, but differing in the darker and minutely granular disc as 
well as the mealy stem, which is not at all grey ; the cuticle of the 
pileus is continuous at the margin for some distance along the edge
