CALIFOENIAN FUNGI. 
Collected hy H. W. Harkness, M.D., hy Cfiarles B. Plowright. 
In July last I received a parcel of fungi from Dr. Harkness, ^ 
mostly Sphieriacei, wliich had been collected by him near San 
Francisco, together with a few specimens from the Sierra Nevadal 
Mountains, at an elevation of 5000 feet. Most of them are 
referrable to European, and even British species : so that their 
interest is in the locality from which they are derived, rather than 
from any special rarity in the species themselves.
