NEW BRITISH FUNGI. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
( Continued from Vol. xvil., p. 80.) 
Warasmius prasiosmus, Fries Sym. Fur. 468. 
Strong scented. Pileus rather membranaceous, tough, cam- 
panulate-convex, then flattened, obtuse, rugulose ; stem hollow, 
pallid above , becoming smooth, thickened downwards, pallid 'rufous 
or fuscous, somewhat tomento se ; gills adnexed, a little crowded, at 
first white. 
Amongst oak leaves. Scarborough. 
Odour of garlic strong and persistent. Pileus becoming 
whitish, with the disc darker, scarcely an inch in diameter ; stem 
3 inches long, and a line thick, tough, with the curved dilated 
base adherent to dead leaves. 
HZarasmius toxquescens, Quelet, Fr. Sym. Fur. 471. 
The specimens in Herb. Berkeley from Glamis, referred to this 
species, are found to have brown spores, and to be really some 
small species of Naucoria. So that the Scotch locality is an 
error, supposing these specimens to have been the authority, 
which it is presumed that they were. 
Axcyria dictyonema, Rost. Mon. 279. 
Peridia ovate, stipitate ; stems arising from a substratum ; 
capillitium not very much divided, formed of cylindrical tubes, of 
varied dimensions, usually 3-5 p thick, projections formed by rigid 
spinose prickles 1-7 p high, these spines being joined in a reticula- 
tion at the base. Spores even, 9-10 p diam. 
On rotten wood. Smethwick (A. Camm). 
Above is the diagnosis, as given by Rostafinski, reproduced by 
Saccardo (Syll. vii., p. 431), but our specimens differ in scarcely 
being stipitate, in the colour being olive, in the threads of the 
capillitium being as thick as the spores, in the projections not 
being spines, but merely the edges of the reticulations, and in the 
spores not being entirely even, but minutely warted. 
Strumella strobilina, CJce. Sf Mass. 
Pustules gregarious, erumpent, rather prominent, almost globose, 
black (J mm. diam). Hyphas simple, or furcate, filiform. Conidia 
fusiform, uniseptate, acute at both ends, sooty olive (15-17 X '2\ p). 
On fir cones. Newcastle. 
Glceospoxiuxn Pelargonii, Cke. <$■ Mass. 
Hypophyllum. Acervulis sparsis, bullatis, pallidis. Conidiis 
tereti-oblongis, utrinque rotundatis, hyalinis, 20 x 4-5 p. 
On living leaves of ivy-leaf Pelargoniums. Kew.
