On plate 422 of the “Illustrations” a curious but not rare form 
of Pleurotus subpalmatus Fr., is depicted under the name of Pluteus 
phlebophorus var. reticulatus Cke. 
Pholiota caperata Pers. a firwood species found hardly anywhere 
else than in Scotland, I believe. The plant figured in the “ Illus- 
trations” 348 under this name is from a sketch of Mr. Phillips of 
Pholiota aurea, which he made from a specimen we found in company ~ 
with Rev. Dr. Stevenson on 24 September, 1886, at the Den of 3 
Airlie. The stoutness of the veil which was covered beneath with 
brown furfuraceous scales was very distinct. Ph. caperata has a 
membranous veil, -it is a much more tender plant; in fact, in the 
“ Epicrisis ” and “ Monographia,” Fries places it amongst the larger 
Cortinarii but in the “Hymenomycetes” he puts it back again 
amongst the Pholiote. 
Pholiota comosa Fr. pl. 600 and P.. heteroclita Fr. pl. 366, are 
two excellent figures of the same plant as is now pretty generally 
admitted by Mycologists. The first name has the priority. 
Pholiota flammans Fr. pl. 368 is taken from a figure the late

Dr. Bull made from specimens I sent him from Dunoon in August 7 
1872. Oddly enough, the main character of the plant is entirely 
missed, viz., the sulphur yellow scales on the pileus, which are paler 
than the cuticle. 
Pholiota Cookei Fr. pl. 354 and Ph. terrigena Fr. pl. 349 are two 
Friesian species, but they are really identical. 
Flammula astragalina Fr. pl. 435 shows no change of colour. on 
injury as it should do: this is a point made the most of generally in 
sketches of fungi.* 
Hebeloma testaceum Batsch. f. 198 is a well-marked variety of 
H. crustuliniforme Bull, which is entitled to rank as a species. It is 
easily recognized by its distinctly bulbous stem, and is pretty common 
in fir woods and heathy places during October and November. 
Stropharia Percevalii B. and Br. Ill. pl. 550, is only a form of 
St. depilata Pers. The former has a hollow stem while the 
latter has a solid one. Inthe year 1888 I gathered at Floda near 
Gottenburg, in company with Dr. Fries a series of specimens of
