7. T. eristata, Fr. ; incrusting, rather tough, pallid, tufted,
passing into branches or ascending tufted laciniæ; subulate
and fimbriate at the apex; hymeninm papillose on even
patches or the sides of the branches.—Sow. t. 158.
On mosses, etc. Not uncommon.
8. T. fastidiosa, Fr. ; very fetid, effused, soft, shapeless,
■white, passing into plate-like branches ; hymenium inferior, at
length rufous, papillose.
On the ground. Not common. Bristol, Dr. Stephens, etc.
Smell disgusting. Looks at first sight like some Mycelium.
9. T. moUissima, P. ; soft, fleshy, incrnsting; pilei effuso-
reflexed, laciniate, subtomentose, dirty-white; hymenium inferior,
even, hrown-purple. (Plate 17, fig. 5.)
On the ground, in woods. Not uncommon. Extremely
variable. Sometimes quite effused, sometimes assuming the
form of T. palmata. The form in the figured specimen arises
partly from incrnsting the old stumps of large grasses.
10. T. laciniata, P.; soft, coriaceous, incrnsting, ferruginous-
brown; pilei somewhat imbricated, effuso-reflexed, fibroso-
squamose; margin fibrous, fimbriated, at first dirty-white;
hymenium inferior, papillose, flocculose.—Row. t. 213.
On branches, heathy ground, etc. Common. Sometimes
quite resupinate, sometimes almost dimidiate, but effused
behind.
11. T. biennis, Fr. ; coriaceous, soft, broadly incrusting,
cinereous-brown ; pilei at length reflexed, but narrow, tomentose
; circumference fimbriated ; hymenium subresupinate,
smooth, suhsetulose, plicate at the base.—Bull. t. 436.
On the ground, incrusting stones, stumps, etc. Very rare.
Kew Gardens. Bowood, Wiltshire, C. E. B.
** Besupinate.
12. T. cæsia, P. ; effused, determinate, soft, glaucous-ash-
coloured ; hymenium nearly even.
On the ground, in woods. Not uncommon. Bristol.
Northamptonshire. The hymenium, with its quaternate
spores, is a pretty, opaque object under the microscope.
13. T. byssoid.es, P . ; irregularly effused, at first byssoid,
ochraceous-white, then compact and fleshy, pulverulent, ferruginous
yellow ; circumference byssoid, nearly white.
On the ground, especially amongst fir-leaves, making patches
a foot broad. Not uncommon. The ferruginous spores at
once separate this from every form of T. mollissima.
14. T. pnteana, Schum.; roundish and effused, fleshy, rather
thick, hrittle, yellowish, then tawny-olive, at last brownish-
olive, dusted with the spores; circumference mucedinous, white;
hymenium somewhat undulated.
On stumps, wood in cellars, etc. Not uncommon. Sometimes
dripping with moisture. Occasionally large, globular,
solid or hollow lumps, are formed upon the hymenium, giving
the plant a very singular appearance.
15. T. laxa, F r .; membranaceous, soft, loosely adherent,
arachnoid beneath, white as well as the byssoid circumference;
hymenium papillose, pallid, then ferruginous-olive, dusted with
the ferruginous spores.
On lichens, moss, etc. Bare. King’s Cliffe. Oswestry,
Rev. T. Salwey.
16. T. arida, F r .; memhranaceous, soft, arachnoid beneath,
and white as well as the byssoid circumference; hymenium
papillose, pallid, then ferruginous-olive.
On decayed pine-wood, in cellars and woods. Common.
Not so thick as T. puteana.
17. T. olivácea, Fr.; membranaceous, effused, adnate; circumference
white, fimbriated; hymenium dull-olive, setuloso-
tomentose.
On pine-wood. Northamptonshire, etc. Probably common.
I have authentic specimens of this species from Fries.
