or more Interesting Fungi collected during the past year. 99 
Hypholoma appendiculatus , Bull. 
This again cannot be regarded as rare, but I obtained speci- 
mens in October of a form regarded by an excellent judge as a 
Bolbitius. This is interesting because Hypholoma hydrophilus, 
Bull, a form very close to H. appendiculatus, Bull, was named 
Bolbitius by Fries. 
I have germinated the spores, and find their behaviour agrees 
in all essential respects with that of the species of Hypholoma 
investigated by Brefeld 1 , and in a fortnight or so I obtained 
excellent cultures of the characteristic tufts of oidia, thus adding 
one more to the list of Basidiomycetes which produce secondary 
asexual spores of this description. 
Stropharia albocyanea, Desm. 
Recorded in Stevenson 2 as “ uncommon/’ is by no means rare 
in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. 8. aeruginosa, Curt., also com- 
mon, sprang from mycelium on Asparagus roots brought in by 
Mr Hill, and which I cultivated in the laboratory this summer : 
it appeared to be parasitic. Geaster mammosus, Chev., has been 
found at Brandon by Mr Biffen, and we find G. fimbriatus, Fr., 
common at Wimpole and elsewhere in the County. Sphcero- 
bolus stellatus, Tode, is also abundant, as well as Crucibulum 
vulgare, Tul. More remarkable are Nidularia confluens, Fr., and 
N. pisiformis, Tub, both from Shouldham in Norfolk, where I have 
seen the former in great abundance in a cart-rut. N. pisiformis is 
instructive as showing how a Nidularia may be derived from such 
a form as Octaviana if the sporangial chambers of the latter 
become more individualised. Mutinus caninus, Fr., was sent us by 
Dr Plowright, to whom I owe much for specimens and inform- 
ation. 
The beautiful exotic Dictyophora phalloidea was brought by 
Mr Yapp from the Malay Peninsula. 
Among the rarer or more noteworthy species of larger Fungi 
which have come under my observation during the past year may 
be mentioned the following, gathered by various members of the 
British Mycological Society during a few days’ collecting in com- 
pany with Dr Keith, Dr Stevenson, Dr Plowright and others in 
Rothiemurchus Forest and neighbourhood last September.
