when dry. Stem 4 inches long, stiff and Arm, the lower portion 
ferruginous. When rooting amongst Sphagnum the stem is 
attenuated to 6 or 7 inches. 
Corticium punctulatum, CTce., in “ Grevillea ” VL, p. 132. 
Persistently white, effused, thin, indeterminate, circumference 
and substratum floccose, of a snowy white. Hymenium at first 
punctulate, at length smooth and even. Spores globose^(-006 mm. 
diam.). 
On chips, &c. Colwyn Bay. 
Distinguished from all other white species by the rather large 
globose spores. 
Peniophora ximosa, Che. 
At first yellowish-white, then ochraceous in the centre, effused, 
indeterminate, closely adnate, minutely velvety. Hymenium 
cracked into minute areolae, the larger of these exposing the 
matrix. Hymenial processes most abundant, often in clusters 
(•05-‘07 X '01 mm.), hyaline, rough nearly to the apex. 
On bark. Colwyn Bay. 
Externally it bears so close a resemblance to Corticium BerTce- 
leyi, C., that when collected it was believed to be that species, but 
its substance is thicker and firmer, and it is further distinguished 
by the presence of the processes characteristic of the genus. 
Cyphella cyclas, Cke. & Phil. 
Conchiformis, dimidiata, pendula, albida, tomentosa (i in. lata), 
hymenio laevi, carneo, sporis allantoideis (-007 x *002 mm.). 
On dead wood. Ely (W. Marshall, Esq.). 
Resembling a small bivalve shell, about half an inch broad, or 
less, attached on one side and pendulous. Externally whitish, clad 
with flexuous hairs, some of which are smooth and others rough. 
The hymenium when fresh of a beautiful pink flesh colour and 
smooth. Spores minute, slightly curved and sausage-shaped.

At first found in Australia, and now detected plentifully on grass 
in this country. Identified by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley with his 
Australian specimens, although of a bright red, almost like coral, 
about half an inch high when full grown.
