176 Messrs. Berkeley and Broome on British Fungi. XXI. — Notices of British. Fungi. By tlie Rev. M. J. Beekeley, F.R.S., and C. E. Bkoome, Esq., E.L.S. [Continued from ser, 5, vol. vii. p. 131.] ^Agaricus (Lepiota) crisfatns. A beautiful form occurred in a fern-case at Blacklieath, exactly according-with Krombliolz's t. 25. f. 26-30. It had not the strong smell of the ordinary form. 1927. A. (Tricholoma) Schumacheri, Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 69 ; Fl. Dan. t. 2267. fig. 1. In a hothouse, Apethorpe, Norths. Found once only ; agreeing very closely with the figure in Fl. Dan., especially as regards the gills. 1928. A. (Tricholoma) â– poiyhyroleucus^ Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 75. Coed Coch, Oct. 1881. The long-stemmed form. 1929. A. (Clitocybe) incilis, Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 94. Shrewsbury, W. Phillips. "^A. (Clitocybe) ohsohtns, Batsch, fig. 103. Hothorpe, Norths., Nov. 2;-3, 1881, Miss R. Berkeley. Just the ])hint of Batsch, but the odour varying from that of bitter almonds to that of aniseed. The term ohsoletus used by Batsch does not refer to an odour less than that of A. fragrans, but to the pallid tint as compared with his A. obso-lescens. *A. (Mycena) coha-rens^ A. & S. p. 163. Coed Coch. Amongst pine-leaves in great perfection. It has much affinity with A. haJaninus^ B. ; but that has the margin of the gills purple. They have, however, the same fulvous bristles on the surface. 1930. A. (Mycena) ecccisus, Lasch, in Linn. viii. no. 538. Hothorpe, Norths., Miss Ruth Berkeley. Magnificent specimens of this species occurred Nov. 17, 1881, in the above locality. Pileus 3 inches across, stem 4 inches high, root 2 inches long. Tlies])ecimens were either solitary or subcKspitose ; gills purplish, strongly cut out behind. The fig. Bull. t. 518 I is more characteristic of the specimens than that in Fries's ' Icones,' taken from smaller and probably more superficial individuals. ^A. (Omphalia) huccinalis, Sow. t. 107. This is certainly no form of yl. wnhelliferus ; and it is too fleshy to be the same as A, steUatus. It is, as Sowerby says, not uncommon, and is in great perfection this Jan. 8, 1882. It has the habit of A. piychoi^hylius^ Cd., a species not noticed by Fries \ but the gills are not plicate.
