subdistantes, crassiusculae, roseae. Trama floccoso-granulosa. Sporae 
subglobosae (*003- *004 mm.) glabrae, acbroae. 
Rockhampton. (Mueller.) 
Marasmius minutissimus, Muell. 
Pileus vix seminum Sinapis magnitudine, subglobosus, fusces- 
cens. Stipes capillaris, institius (2 lin. altus) ad apicem albo-pul- 
verulentus, ceterum glaber, nigricans. Lamellae paucae, ob minutiem 
fungillo vix observandae. 
In ramulis. Richmond River. (Miieller.) 
Marasmius pilopus, Kalchb. 
E. scorteis. Pileus coriaceo-membranaceus, subdiaphanus, con- 
vexus, obtusus, vel centro depressus (vix 1 unc. latus), totus 
radiatum striatus, gilvo-pallescens. Stipes e farcto-cavus (1-2 
unc. longus, 1 lin et ultra crassus), basi bulbillosus, totus tomento 
pulveraceo, fulvo-ochraceo, dense vestitus, lamellae adnatae, postice 
latissimae, ambitum versus sumopere angustatae, distantes ramosae, 
acie integrae, siccando carneo-rufae, pileo obscuriores. Sporae 
ovales minutae (-0025 x *0015 mm.). 
In lignis. Richmond River. (Miieller.) 
This curious species has no immediate allies. It is altogether a 
peculiar type. 
Marasmius crinis- equi, Mueller. 
Albido-fulvescens, minimus. Pileo raro, membranaceo, convexo, 
obtuso (1-2 mm. lato). Stipite (1 cm. et ultra long), setaceo, 
rigido, atro, nitido, e mycelio atro, equi crinis similari, assurgente, 
Lamellae paucae, distantae, pileo pallidiores. 
Surrounding twigs. (Miieller.) 
A very curious species. The rhizomorphoid mycelium resembles 
horsehair, and is profusely developed, whilst the pilei are very 
seldom produced. The stems rise at right angles from the decum- 
bent mycelium. The only perfect specimens are in the Berkeley 
Herbarium, Royal Gardens, Kew. 
Lentinus fusco-purpureus, Kalchb. 
Pileus coriaceus, infundibuliformis, margine reflexo, strigoso 
hirsutus, fusco-purpureus ; stipes elatus, sub-aequalis, dense setu- 
losus, pileo sub-concolor ; lamellae vix confertae, parce anastamo- 
santes, pileo pallidiores. 
Richmond River. (Miieller.) 
Pileus 2-2^ in. broad, 3-4 in. high. Allied to L. Zeyheri , 
Berk., but conspicuously different. 
Lentinus laeviceps, Kalchb. 
Pileus carnoso-coriaceus, convexo-planus depressusve, laevis, 
glaber, albo-flavus ; stipes solidus, deorsum attenuatus, basi squa- 
mosus, lamellae decurrentes, crassae, distantes, acie subintegrae. 
Australia. (Miieller, No. 1044.) 
Lentinus hyracinus, Kalch. 
Sub hoc nomine distinguo fungum in Africa, Australi, primum 
lectum inter L. ursinum , Fr., et L. castoreum , Secr. medium, a 
priore lamellis eximie dentatis ab utroque pileis nec aurito ascen-
