SOME EXOTIC FUNGI. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
Australasia. 
Fomes (Fometarii) pyrrhocreas, Cooke. 
Durus, effusus, centro affixus, margine reflexo, arcte pileiformi, 
sulcato-zonato, glabro, brunneo, crusta dura tecto ; contextu 
aurantio-rubro ; hymenio pallido, marginato. Tubulis brevibus 
stratosis, poris minutissimis, rotundis, aequalibus (£ mm.) disse- 
pimentis crassiusculis. 
On logs. New Guinea. (Capt. Armit.) 
Allied to P. Kermes B., from which it differs in the smooth 
brown pileus, and smaller pores, as well as in the hard crust of the 
pileus. Apparently commonly resupinate with the margin reflexed 
and forming a narrow pileus of about ^ an inch in depth, \ inch 
thick, and 3 inches long. 
Aleurodiscus tabacimis, Cooke. 
Erumpens, cupulaeformis, gregarius. Pileo subelliptico (2-3 
mm. long), rugoso, crispulo, brunneo, tomentoso, margine crassius- 
culo dilutiori, connivente, pilis rectis, subrigidis (circa *1 mm. 
long), basidiis clavato-cylindricis, guttulatis. Sporis ellipticis, 
continuis, granulatis (*025- , 028 X *01 mm.). 
On naked wood. Moona, New South Wales. (Crawford.) 
Whether the genus, as described, be a good one or not, the 
present is evidently congeneric with the species hitherto associated 
under it. Perhaps the large clavate bodies in the hymenium may 
not be asci, but basidia. The species should be examined carefully 
when living. 
Hyxnenochaete olivaceum, Cooke. 
Effusum, atro-olivaceum, rugosum, velutinum, margine albido 
fibroso adnato circumdatum. Setis cylindrico-clavatis, scabrosis, 
deorsum profunde attenuatis, pallidis, contextu dense fibroso, 
intertexto. 
On dead branches. Toorvoomba, Australia. 
Resembling Hym. umbrinum B., but very different in colour, 
thinner, and with a distinct pale fibrous margin. 
Mesophellia scleroderma, Cooke. 
Peridio duro, suberoso, ochraceo, globoso-depresso (1^-2 in. 
diam.), extus ad apicem in areolas rhomboideas fissurato, intus 
olivaceo, centro vacuo. Sporis ellipticis, subhyalinis (-01 x ‘004 
mm.), capillitio obsoleto. 
On the ground. New Zealand. (Reader, 50.) 
Uredo Anguillariae, Cooke. 
Amphigeua, soris gregariis, ellipticis, bullatis, din epidermide 
tectis, sporis globosis, vel globoso-ovalibus, lsevibus, fuscis, episporio 
tenui (*02-‘022 X '02 mm.), pediceliis brevibus, hyalinis, deciduis. 
On leaves of Anguillaria dioica. Guntawang, Upper Macquarie 
River, Australia. (Hamilton, No. 9.)
