EXOTIC FUNGI. 
On the ground. Japan (esculent). 
Pileus 3-5 inches broad, stem 3 in. long, nearly an inch thick. 
The above diagnosis drawn up from dried specimens only. The 
entire fungus is suspended by the stem and dried for culinary pur-

Burma. 
Marasmius Burmensis, Cke. 
Albidus. Pileo membranaceo, plano, depressove, obtuso, exstrio, 
stipite farcto, brevi, tenui, albo, glabro ; lamellis paucis, distan- 
tibus, adnatis, angustissimis, venosis, albis. 
On twigs. Moulmein (Rev. C. Parish). 
Exactly the size, habit, and appearance of M. ramealis, but the 
pileus is so thin that the lines of the narrow veinlike gills are 
visible through it. The gills are not half so numerous as in that 
species, and narrower. Stem very thin. 
XKarasxnius Parishii, Cke. 
Fulvus. Pileo convexo, sulcato, stipite rigido, erecto, nitido, 
nigrescente, supra attenuato. Lamellis paucis (6-8) angustis, dis- 
tantibus, pallidis. 
On grass, palm petioles, &c. 
Stem 1-2 inches long, rather thick at the base, gradually at- 
tenuated upwards, chestnut colour, becoming blackish, rigid and 
erect. Pileus 2-4 lines broad, pale sienna brown, very thin and 
remotely sulcate, gills not more than 6 to 8, giving a crenulated 
appearance to the margin. Differing from M. androsaceus in the

On wood. Rio Janeiro. (No. 13381.) 
Pileus 3-4 inches broad, 1 inch or more in thickness behind, 
acute at the margin. Pores at first, and at the edge, punctiform, 
then confluent and shortly labyrinthiform, very narrow, so as to be 
just visible to the naked eye. Hymenium two-thirds the thick- 
ness of the pileus.
