SOME EXOTIC FUNGI. 
Pileiis 4-5 inches, stem 4 inches high, ^ in. thick, squamnlose to 
the middle, with a large fleshy nmbo. Stem, with an abrupt 
bulbous base, contracted below and rooting. Veil only a few 
fibrils attached to the stem. Resembling Ag. hcemorrhoidalis in 
size and appearance, but the ring is almost obsolete, whereby it 
approaches Hypholoma, as well as by the almost attached gills. 
Agaricus (Psilocybe) fortunatus, Cke. 
Pileo carnosulo, campanula! o-expanso, obtuso, Isevi. Stipite 
erecto, rigido, fistuloso, fusco, lineato- striato, ad basim vix in- 
crassato. Lamellis adnatis, vix confertis, atro-fnscis. Sporis 
amygdaljeformibus, purpureis (’018 X '009 mm.). 
On the ground. Rio Janeiro. (No. 9150.) 
Pileus in. broad and high. Stem 6 inches long, i in. thick, 
rigid, marked with longitudinal lines. Doubtless larger when 
fresh. A fine species. 
Panus subtorulosus, Cke. 
Pileo e carnoso-lento coriaceo, inaequalis, excentrico dimidia- 
toque, breviter velutino (sicco fusco), margine incurvo, postice in 
stipitem distinctum tomentosum porrecto, lamellis decurrentibus, 
angustissimis, confertis, concoloribus. 
Rio Janeiro. (9153.) 
Forming dense clusters springing from a thick common base, 
each pileus J to 1 in. broad, with a distinct velvety stem nearly an 
inch long. Gills very narrow, and much crowded, deeply decur- 
rent. Allied to Panus quaquaversus, B. 
Polypoxus (Inodexmei) sepiatex, Cke. 
Pileo suberoso, convexo, concentrice sulcato, primo striato, 
demum glabro, atro-umbrino, intus pallido -lignoso, poris elongatis 
(2^-3 m.) minutissimis, rotundatis, obscurioribus. 
On branches. (12340.) 
Pileus 1-1 J in. wide, 1-1^ in. long, entire, thickness about one- 
eighth of an inch. Somewhat resembling P. sideroides, Lev., but 
entirely sessile, and not velvety. The pores are so minute as to be 
scarcely visible under a pocket-lens. The dark sepia-brown colour 
justifies the name of sepiater. 
Polypoxus fulvi-tiuctus, a 
On trunks. (12329.) 
Beccaxia caespitosa, Cke. 
Pileo coriaceo, multiplici, infundibuliformi, e variis lobis stipiti- 
busque confluentibus oriundo, sursum striato, glabro ; margine 
lobulato ; hjmenio papillas acutas in lineas parallelibus ornato. 
On the ground (?). Rio Janeiro. 
Tufts 3-4 inches broad, 2 inches high. No indication is given of 
the colour in a fresh state, hence the diagnosis is imperfect. The 
papillae of thehymenium shrink in drying, so as to be almost imper 
ceptible, but assume the form of teeth, arranged in parallel lines 
when moistened. A very curious fungus, referred with some hesi- 
tation, to the genus instituted by Baron V. de Cesati.
