H.vb. Oti dead wood, Archer.
IVliole plant of a pale red-broivn. PUeus inch across, plane, snbeaniose, striate. Stem 1 iuch higli, scarce a
line thick, downy at the base, fibi-iDose. Qilh arched, moderately broad and distant, but more numerous than in
A. tmbelUferus, decurreiit, pale reddish-brown.—P la tb CLXXXI. Fig. 3 ; a, plant, nat. size; b, vertical section,
magnijied.

I I a b . On the grouud, Gunn, Archer.
Mr. Archer’s is a pallid fonn, with very deciuTent gills. Gunn collected abundant specimens of a variety vaiying
from primrose to orange, according to age. Other forms also seem to he abundant.
19. A g a r icu s (Omphalia) flavo-c roc eu s (Berk.); pilco convexo urabilicato glabro stipiteque
elongato inæquali solido flavis, lamellis latis postice decurrentibus croceis.
H a b . Under logs, Archer.
Pileus 4 inch across, convex, umbilicate, pale-ycllow, glabrous ; margin jagged. Slem 2 inches high, 1 line
or more thick, unequal, stringy, duU saffron-yell.w, downy at the base. Gills rather numerous, broad, abruptly decurrent,
saffron-yellow ; margin entire ; interstices even.—The numerous gills separate this from tlie yellow variety
of A. nmbelliferus, while it has the colours but not the naiTow gills of A, ch-ysopJiyllus.

21. A g a r icu s (Pleurotus) tephrophauus (Berk.); pileo excentrico infundibuliformi brunneo
rivuloso pulverulento, stipite hirto e basi strigosa oriundo, lamellis latis postice emarginatis.
H a b . On charred wood, Archer.
Pileus 1 inch aci-oss, brown, minutely wrinkled and pulveralent, infundibuliform, thin. Stem brown, hispid.
4 inch high, 1 line tliick, springing from a strigose base. Gills few, broad, emarginate behind, transversely striate,
pale.—This curious species approaches in many respects to PaxUlus atrotomentosus, but the gills are of a different
character.
22. A g a r icu s (Pleurotus) phosphorus (Berk, in Hook. Loud. Journ. Bot. vii. p. 572).
H a b . On roots of trees, Oct.-Feb., Gunn.
So phosphorescent that Mi-. Gumi was able to read by its light, and it remained luminous six days or more.—
A specimen, supposed to belong to this species, but possibly A. salignus, was found growing on Acacia dealbata,
from tiie cavity in which the cateipiUar of a Cossus had heen nursed, and entirely filling up the shell of the pupa
with its mycelium, so as at fii-st sight to appear parasitic upon the insect.
23. A g a r icu s (Pleurotus) palmatus (Bull. t. 216).
Yar. sessilis.
Hab. On dead wood. Archer.
This appears to be a sessile form of the plant of BiiOiard. There is but a single specimen.
24. A g a r icu s (Pleurotus) d iv e rsipe s (Berk.) ; pileo umbiiicato 1. laterali pelliculo gelatinoso vestito,
stipite subcartilagineo eompresso cavo elongato brevi 1. obsolete, lamellis distantibus decurrentibus,
interstitiis lævibus. (T a b . CLXXXI. Fig. 4 .)
H a b . On dead wood. Archer.
Pileus 1-2 inches across, central or lateral, umbilicate or depressed beliind, covered with a gelatinous pellicle.
Stem very variable, elongated and slender, short or obsolete, subcartilaginous, downy at the base, Hat, hollow, Gills
distant, entire, decurrent, interstices even.—Allied to A. Tasmanicus, but distinguished by various cbaracters.—

25. Ag a r icu s (Pleurotus) Tasmanicus (Berk.) ; pileo reniformi lævi glabro pellicula gelatinosa
vestito, stipite brevissimo tomentoso 1. obsoleto, lamellis latis subdistantibus tenuibus.
Hab. On dead wood, Areher.
Pileus 1 inch or more across, reniform, smooth, even, clothed with a thin gelatinous pellicle. Stem short, pure
white, downy, sometimes quite obsolete. Gills broad, distant, crisped when diy, decun-ent where the stem is unusually
elongated.—This species docs not appear to he resupinate in auy stage of growth ; still it is allied to
A. algidus, which is constantly sessile.
26. A g a r icu s (Pleurotus) burseeformis (Berk.); pileo postice affixo bursæformi albido tomentoso
antice glabresceiite, lamellis subdecurrentibus striatis.
Hab. On dead bark, Archer.
Ochry-white. Pileus 2 inches across, fixed by a little white down, purse-shaped, densely tomentose behind,
smooth in front ; margin incurved. Slem short, nearly smooth. Gills crowded, moderately broad, slightly deciir-
reut, marked witli transverse sh-eaks. Spores subgloboso, inch long, pale tan-coloured,—I know of no species
with which this singular Agaric can be compared. The form and adherent pileus, accompanied by a short stem,
etc., are very peculiar.

29. A g a r icu s (Pluteus) cervinus (Scliæff. t. 10).
Hab. Ou decayed wood. May, 1846, Gunn.
A form with a pallid, fibrillose stem.
30. Ag a r icus (Entoloma) pauniculus (Berk.) ; pileo tenui campanulato obtuso flocculoso stipiteque
deorsum incrassato fibrilloso basi albo-tomeutoso atro-violaceis, lamellis adnatis secedentibus. {Tta.
CLXXXI. Fig. 5.)
H a b . Amongst Fern, March, 1856, Archer.
Pileus broadly campanulate, I J iuch across, obtuse, but not distinctly umbonate, thin except in tbe centre,
dai'k-violet, flocculcnt. Stem of tbe same colom- as the pileus, 2è inches high, U line thick, fibrillose, thickened at
the base, and clothed with cottony down. Gills moderately broad, scarcely ventricose, broadly adnate, but secediug.
Spores oval, with several prominences, âôVw unpleasant.—This belongs to tbe Leptonoid group
of Entoloma, resembling such species as A. Lappula, but without the slightest trace of an umbilicus.—P late
