On stalks of grass. Not uncommon. Fothcringay, Deenc,
etc., Nortliamptonshirc.
3. P. quisquiliaris, F r .; incrassated above, somewhat compressed,
dirty-white, soft when growing, attenuated at the
base, substipitate.—Sow. t. 334. /. 1.
On fern-stems. Common. Often attashed to a Sclerotium.
4. P. puberula. Berk.; obovate, ventricose, white; stem
short, distinct, pellucid, tomentose.—Sow. t. 334. /. 2. P.
ovata, Fr.
On dead Pteris aquilina. Rare. King’s Cliffe. The stem
in this is composed of fibres; therefore I fear that Fries’s
character will hardly stand.
5. P. pusilla, Fr.; s m a l l , smooth, even, linear, w hite; stem
not distinct at the base.—Pers. Comm. t. 3. / . 6.
On Equisetum. Weymouth.
Oedee 0. TBEMP LLIN I.
Whole plant gelatinous, with the e.\ccption occasionally of
the nucleus. Sporophores large, simple or divided. Spicules
elongated into threads.
45. TBEMELLA, Fr.
Gelatinous, tremulous, immarginate. Hymenium not papillate,
surrounding the whole of the Fungus.
1. T. fimbriata. P.; cæspitose, erect, corrugated, olive-
black ; lobes flaccid, incised, nndulato-fimbriate.—Bull. t. 272.
On dead branches. Very rare. Sowerhy’s herbarium.
2. T. frondosa, Fr. ; cæspitosc, very large, even, pallid, plicate
at the base ; lobes waved and sinuated.—Bull. t. 499 T.
At the base of living trees. Very rare. On oak, Wothorpe,
Northamptonshire. A very curious and distinct species.
Colour a peculiar pale pinkish-yellow.
3. T. foliácea, P .; cæspitose, flaccid, even, diaphanous,
undulated, cinnamon, inclining to flesh-coloured, plicate at the
hasc.— Bull. t. 406. / . A.
On old stumps. Not uncommon. Varying much in colour,
sometimes deep red-brown [T. ferrwjinea, E. B. t. 1452),
sometimes violet. All the three forms occur occasionally in
this country.
4. T. lutescens, Fr.; cæspitosc, tremulous, undulato-
gyrose, white, at length yellow ; lobes crowded, entire.'—Bull,
t. 406 C, D.
On old stumps. Not uncommon.
5. T. mesenterica, Dete; ascending, rather tough, plicato-
undulatc, smooth, bright orange.—Eng. Bot. t. 709 ; Huss. i.
t. 27.
On sticks in woods, hedges, etc. Extremely common.
6. T. vesioaria, Bull. ; firm, bladdery, much waved and
wrinkled, erect, pallid, very viscid within.—Eng. Bot. /. 2451.
On the ground. Very rare. I have seen no British specimens,
but in some from the United States I find the structure
of a Tremella. I t is certainly no Alga, as stated by Eries.
7. T. moriformis, B. ; conglobated, sinuated, mulberry-
black, opaque, firm.—Eng. Bot. 2446.
On clm-branches. Bare. Batheaston, C. E. B. This
beautiful species is, I think, a true Tremella, approaching,
however, to Nmmatelia. The sporophores do not at all resemble
those of Dacrymyces.
8. T. albida, Huds. ; effused, adprcssed, even or gyroso-
plicatc, pruinose, dirty-white, at length brownish.—Eng. Bot.
t. 2117.
