Hothorpe (Miss Berkeley). 
Stem about 3 inches long. Pileus about an inch, or more. 
Coprinus aratus, Berk. Outl., p. 176. 
A group of this fine species, of large size, occurred at Hothorpe, 
Dec. 5, 1881. As the character given before was drawn up from 
a solitary specimen gathered in a very different situation, it re- 
quires a little amendment. The disk is sometimes rugose, some- 
times even ; the gills are at first attached, but so slightly that they 
easily part from the stem, so as to appear free, but they are still 
connected at the base, as if there were a slight collar. For 
“lamellis liberis,” “ lamellis secedentibus ” should be substituted.

thickened base, smooth ; gills adnate, linear, cinereous, then black.
