Plate 97. 
Russula Queletii. Fr. 
Acrid, pileus compact, campanulate-convex, then plane, even, 
viscid, dark violet or purple ; margin slightly striate, purplish- 
lilac ; stem spongy, farinose, purplish-violet ; gills attenuated, or 
unequally furcate, distilling moisture, white. — Fr. Ep. ^Y., p. 448. 
In pine woods. 
Pileus 1-3 inches ; stem about 2 inches high, half-an-inch 
thick. First detected in Britain during the late excursions of the 
Woolhope Club around Hereford. 
Hygirophorus erubescens. Fr. 
Pileus fleshy, gibbous, then convexo-plane, smooth or punctate ; 
margin naked from the first, white, then rosy-sanguineous ; 
stem solid, without ring, unequal, clad with reddish fibrils, and 
punctate with red dots at the apex ; gills distant, soft, white, 
spotted with red. — Fries. Epic, u., 407. Sver. Svamp. t. 65. 
In pine woods. 
The fundamental colour is white, becoming everywhere reddish ; 
pileus 2-4 inches across ; stem 3 or 4 inches or more long. Found 
at the excursions of the Woolhope Club, 1877. Having seen this 
species in France, and Agaricus russula, Schff., in Austria — 
where the latter is eaten — we are satisfied that they are not iden- 
tical, as some suppose. 
Guepinia peziza. Tul. 
Cup-shaped, subsessile, everywhere smooth, yellow, adnate 
behind; stem slender ; spores triseptate. — Fr. Epic, ii., . 
On wood. Shere. 
This was found many years ago, and has now been identified 
with the above species. It is a very interesting addition to the 
British Flora. (PI. 97, fig. 19, 20.) 
Cienkowskia reticulata. A. Sf S. 
Plasmodiocarp creeping, in the form of an interwoven network, 
orange or brownish ; capillitium containing yellow granules of 
lime ; spores smooth, bright violet, *009 mm. diam. — Rtjki. Mon., 
p.^\. 
On wood, &c. Sibbertoft (W. Phillips). 
Trichia scabra. Rost. 
Sporangia in the typical form gregarious, sessile, on a common 
strongly developed hypothallus ; elaters cylindrical, running out 
into a smooth end, which is straight or slightly bent ; spirals 3-4 
clad with numerous short sharp-pointed spines ; interstices even, 
rather broad ; spores •008-*011 mm., with a thick epispore covered 
with numerous stout warts. — Rtjki. Mon., p. 258.
