NEW BEITISH FUNGI. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
{Continued from Vol. VIII., p. 11.) 
The following includes only a few of the additions found during 
the past year. Messrs. Berkeley and Broome have others to record, 
and until this is done any others which may have come to our 
knowledge may be postponed. 
Agaricus (Amanita) virosus, Fr. Hym. Eur., 18. 
White, pileus conical, then expanded, acute, glutinous ; margin 
repand, even ; stem stuffed, cylindrical above the bulbous base, 
torn into scales ; volva thick and floccose, as well as the ring which 
adheres in shreds at the margin of the pileus ; gills free, linear- 
lanceolate. Fries Svamp, t. 84 ; Cooke Illust., t. 1. 
In Mr. Hartcup’s Plantation, Bungay, in company with Mr. D. 
Stock (1865), also at Forres (Rev. J, Keith.) 
Although the drawing has been in my possession so long, it has 
not been recorded, by some oversight, until its reproduction for the 
illustrations brought it again to mind. Several specimens were 
found on the above occasion, the largest nearly 8 inches high. The 
conical pileus, appendiculate margin, and scaly stem, are very char- 
acteristic. 
Agaricus (Amanita) magnificus, -Fn Hym. Eur., p. 25. 
Already recorded for Scotland. It was found about 12 years 
since at Highgate, two or three times during one autumn, but has 
not been seen since. Not being acquainted with the above species 
until recently, it has not been recorded, but the figure then drawn 
is reproduced in the “ Illustrations,” and the Rev. M. J. Berkeley 
coincides in regarding it as exactly the species of Fries. 
Agairicus (Txicholoma) atrosquamosus, Chev. Fung, et Byss. Ulus. 
Gregarious. Pileus convex then flattened, umbonate, pallid 
cinereous, squamulose ; margin rather woolly, squamules of the 
pileus small, black ; gills ventricose, emarginate, rather thick, 
scarcely crowded, stem stuffed, fibrillose, white, with a few small 
black squamulose points about the apex ; base slightly thickened. 
In grassy places. Dorking, Nov., 1880. 
Pileus about 2 inches, stem 2^-3 inches long, -1 inch thick. In 
some respects resembling Ag. terreus and Ag. argyraceus, to which 
it is allied. Exactly like Chevallier’s figures. 
Agairicus (Psilocybe) udus, Pers. Fr. Hym. Eur., p. 298. 
Pileus fleshy, thin, convex, then plane, dry, riigulose, growing 
pale, stem elongated, thin, tough, fibrillose, ferruginous down* 
wards, gills affixed, ventricose, lax, whitish, then becoming purplish. 
In swampy places, amongst Sphagnum and Polytrichum. Plenti- 
ful in Epping Forest. Nov., 1880.
