The Tasmanian species of tliis large genus are extremely uumerous, and, as Fries has remarked of those of
Australia, in many cases identical with Eiu-opean forms. Ahuost every tribe has its representative. The commou
Mushroom aud the nearly allied A. arveiisis axe abimdant, but there are few, if any, other esculeut varieties. (Name
from Agaria, a region in Sannatia.)
1. A g a r icu s (Amanita) ananæceps (Berk, in Hook. Lond. Journ. vii. p. 572).
H.\b. On the ground : Penquite, March, Gumi.
2. A g a r icu s (Amanita) g ro ssu s (Berk.); albus, pileo crasso carnoso plano-hemisphærico verru-
coso quandoque areolato, stipite bulboso fibrilloso, volva adnata, lamellis latis adnatis rotundatis.
H a b . On the ground, J . L . II.
IVhite. Pileus 4 inches across, hemispherical, slightly flattened, thick, fleshy, covered with large warts, sometimes
areolate; margin incuiwed. Stem bulbous, 3 inches high, above an inch thick; veil none; volva adnate,
sometimes obscm-e. Gills ^ inch bread, rounded behind, adnate.—A vei-y large, coarse species, to wMch I can point
out no near ally, except possibly A. exeelsus. The stem however is short in proportion to the size. It approaches
in some respects such Lepiota as A. Vittadini. It seems to be hemispherical iu every stage of gi-owth. The
rounded gills at once distinguish it from A. ananæceps.
3. A g a r icu s (Lepiota) proce ru s (Scop.; Er. Epicrisis, p. 12).
H a b . On the ground ; Penquite, Gunn.
One specimen is exactly A. procerus, Krombholz, fig. 10, with its smooth stem; another resembles A. graci-
lenlus, Kromb. ; and a third is very near A. mastoideua. All however formed apparently a single group.
4. A g a r icu s (Lepiota) c r ista tu s (Er. Ep. p. 15).

7. A g a r icu s (Clitocybe) sch izop hyllus (Berk.) ; cæspitosus, connatus, pileo convexo, stipite car-
tilagiueo-fibroso, basi spongioso-tomentoso, lamellis decurrentibus demum margine fissis.
Hab. On charred wood, Archer.
sc, connate. Pileus 1 inch or more across, convex. Stem 2 inches high, 2 lines thick, strmgy, with a thin
cartilagiiio-fibrous coat, adhering by spongy dowu to the matrix. Gills dccurrent, at lengtli split at the margin after
the fashion of ScliizophjUmn. The colour of the whole, «'hen dry, is tawny, approaching to rufous.—This very singular
species may possibly some day constitute a new geuus. I liave liowever seen but a single group, consisting of
three specimens. The gills are not split till the pileus is expanded. In the geuus Agaricus it is nearest to
A. eoffeaius and its allies.
8. A g a r icu s (Clitocybe) la cc a tus (Scop.; Er. Ep. p. 81).
PIab. On the ground, Gunn, Archer.
9. A g a r icu s (Collybia) radicatus (Relh.; Er. Ep. p. 81).
Hab. On dead wood, sunk in the ground : Penquite, May, 1846, abundant, Gunn.
10. A g a r icu s (Collybia) morulus (Berk.) ; rufo-purpurcus, pileo convexo carnoso stipiteque
æquali albo-farcto horizontali asperulis, lamellis plauis latis adnatis distantibus. (T a b . CLXXXI. Eig. 1.)
Hab. On dead wood, Archer.
Dark mulberry-brown. Pileus 1 inch across, convex, fleshy. Slem horizontal, rougii, like the pileus, with little
doiray points, stufled. Gills plane, distant, adnate, of the same colour as the pileus.—A fine species, resembhng
A.pæonius, A. carneus, etc., but with distant, thicker giUs. A. earneus is confessedly near to Collybia, though
placed in Tricholoma - P la t e CLXXXI. Fig. 1-, aa, plant, nat. size; b, vertical section; c, portion of pileus : -

14. A g a r icu s (Mycena) interruptus (Berk.); pileo crassiusculo piano depresso livido pellicula
cartilaginefi tccto, stipite e basi orbiculari applanata striata oriundo, lamellis crenulatis albidis pilei carne
gelatinoso-carnosa desceiulente iiiterruptis. (Tab. CLXXXI. Fig. 2.)
Hab. On bark. Archer.
Pileus l i line across, plane, depressed, livid in the centre, clothed with a cartilaginous pellicle; jlesh subgela-
tiuous, separated from the stem by a groove, and iiiternqiting the pallid, crenate, subdecurrent gills. Stem ascending,
4 inch high, i a line thick, rising fi'oni a flattened orbicular disc, and at first suuk into it, and marking it witli
raised lines by means of the gills.—This singidar species is allied to Agaricus mucor, but is separated by numerous
characters. The dried specimens do uot show the portion of the gill within the groove, whieh is vei-y distinctb'
represented in Mr. Archer’s drawing.—Pla-i-e CLXXXI. Fig. 2 ; a, plaut, nat. size; b, ilitto, magnified; c, highly
