VII. — Fungi. 
By the Eev. M. J. Berkeley, M.A., F.L.S. 
[The Fungi collected in Kerguelen Island amount to 9 or 10 (the tenth being 
still an undetermined form).* 
T)r. Hooker obtained 2 species in the winter (May and June) 1810 ; Mr. Moseley 
3 in addition to the same, during summer (December and January) 1873-4; Mr. 
Eaton, also in summer, 5 determinable species, and 1 that could not be identified 
(•see footnote), besides the species found by Dr. Hooker. 
Until a fcAv days before Midsummer {1. e. Christmas) no Fungi were seen in the 
vicinage of the English Observatory Bay. The first to appear was the common 
mushroom, a single specimen of which was found on an island in the sound by some 
officers from H.M.S. “ Volage.” Later in the summer the other four species came 
up in a few places on the mainland. They were not by any means of frequent 
occurrence, and jirobably scarcely’ any’ of them would be found at the time of year 
corresponding with the date of Dr. Hooker’s visit to the island.— H. F. Faton.'] 
1. Agaricus (Galera) kerguelensis, Ferk. in Journ. Bot. v. 51 (1876) ; 
et in Journ. lAnn. Soc. xv. 22. Caespitosus, fulvus, pileo e breviter campanulato 
convexo Imvi carnuloso, margine tenui striata, stipite U 3 quali apice pulverulento- 
granulato, lamellis distantibus ventricosis adnati.s. 
Amongst moss in a bog on the eastward portion of the base of a promontory 
E. of Vulcan Cove, January 1875, Fulon. 
Caespitose, attached by abundant mycelium. Pilcus i inch across ; stem nearly 
1 inch high, ^ to f line thick ; principal gills about 12 in number, shortly but truly 
adnate, and not in the least decurrent. 
It IS far more fleshy than any variety of A. hypnomm, to which species no doubt 
it is closely allied ; and while agreeing with A. embolus in possessing comparatively 
few gills, it differs from that species in the mode of their attachment.

11..S .pec.es .s relcTcc to by Mr. Eaton (in P.-oc. liny. Soc. 187o, May. xxiii. 353) as ■■ a peculiar 
parasite on AzorMa, wh.cb grows out of the rosette.s ” of the leaves “in the form of a clear jelly which 
‘ becomes changed into a firm yolbwish substance of indefinite form.” It was common on the rides of 
hills m the neighbourhood of the observatory towards the end of December, and a series of examples was 
preserved m spirit, but they could not be worked out. ^
