THE LARGER FUNGI 
'Pile following fi'om Mount Lofty, July, agrees with this description, save that 
there is a tendency to branch: — Near Buckthorn Brown (xv.). Usually slightly 
club-shaped, -iin. (10 nun.) high, sometimes simple and rounded but often rather 
irregular, ends obtuse, sometimes slightly flattened, sometimes showing a tendency 
to branch at tlie ends in irregular blunt knobs. Spores pear-shaped, slightly 
curved, 9 to 11 x 4.5 /r. Another collection from Mount Lofty, also in July, on 
fences, simple or occasional’ly flattened, varies in colour from Buckthorn Brown 
(XV.) to Yellow Ochre (XT.), spores 7.5 to 9 x .1.8 to 4.5 
It seems probable therefore that C. fusca is only a colour form of C. guepinioides 
with simple clubs. 
**Caespitose. 
No true caespitose species has been found in South Australia. 
*** Simple. 
5(11. C. cuneata Llovd. (L., cuneatus, wedge-shaped). — This is described from 
Tasmania (Mycological Notes, VIL, 1922, page 1152, fig. 2240) as gregarious on 
decorticated wood, yellow, obtuse, cuneate, flattened, tapering at the base, 
2 to 1 mm tall, 2 mm. broad. The following, also from Mount Lofty, July, may 
be this form which seems likely again to be a variant of C. guepinioides, or 
possibly it may be C. glossoides Fr. described in Cooke as, “simple, solitary, 
somewhat tremelloid, yellow, 12 mm. high, clubs incrassated, obtuse, compressed, 
stem tapering. Spores ellipsoid, 12 p. Long.” Near Ochracoous Tawny (xv.) 
but rather dingy. Clubs simple, i to under -jin. (3 to (1 mm.) high, tongue-shaped 
or like an incisor tooth, more rarely narrow club-shaped, definitely but slightly 
consti'icted at the base, smooth. Spores elongated club-shaped, 11 to 13, 
occasionally 15 x 4 to 5 p. 
562. Calocera stricta Fr. (L., striotus, rigid). — Dull pale orange, 1 cm. or more 
high, simple, gradually attenuated to an acute apex, base slightly swollen and 
villose. Spores pear-shaped, oblique, 9 x 4 /«.. South Australia In Pmus 
radkita Don. (P. insignis Dough) forest. Mount Burr (S.E.). May. 
These plants differ from simple forms lof C. guepinioides in being longer and 
all simple, with more acute apices, and with the base slightly swollen and villous. 
Though a septum in the spore has not been noticed, as in British specimens, the 
plants seem referrable to C. slrupta. A collection from Caroline State Forest, 
Mount Gambier, May, a locality not far distant from the preceding, are similar, 
exce])t tliat they laclc the slightiy swollen villous base which is abrupt, and though 
usually simple the plants are sometimes flattened; they are dull yellowislq up to 
:}in. (6 min.) high, awl-like tapering to subacute at the apex, spores 7 to 8.5 x 4 
These latter may be simple forms of C. varUformis. 
[Whilst in the press, a further report received from Professor Martin 
necessitates the following alterations and additions under Calocerales: 
No. 556. Dacryomyces miltinus. Transfer to Heterotextus as H. pezizae- 
formis (Berk.) l^loyd. 
Dacryomitra (p. 336). The species mentioned has been identified and should 
appear as: — 554 a. Dacryomitra glossoides Bref. — “Fructification clear yellow', 
capitate, the head gelatinous, at first globose, becoming convoluted and ridged, 
eventually prostrate. Stem firm, subcylindrical, fibrous gelatimms, tough, erect 
or more or less immersed in the substratum. Hymenium covering all parts of 
the head; basidia clavate, becoming furcate. Spores allantoid, becoming 4-celled, 
15 X 6 p.” — Martin. South Australia — On bark of living Eucalyptus, Crafers.
