SPHjilROCARPUS FRAGiLis.
H AVING adopted Bulliard's Spharocarpus fejftlis m
tab. 358, I beg leave to retain the genus for the prefent.
This differs in being iliaped like a pear, or fomewhat
ftalked, and is alfo more fragile. It refembles
Spharocarpus ficoides of Bull. tab. ¿fi^-Jig. 3. but that
figure is all black, both capfule and feeds, if I may fo
call them.

RETICULARIA ALBA. 236.
C E R T A I N L Y allied when young to tab. 272, &c.
but differing materially in the latter ftate, having
many very irregularly formed capfules, more or lefs
ftalked. TYiiiii Spumaria Mucilago oi'Pexioou's " Tentamen

fizes, and grow on different plants, either frefh or

"W^E prefume this is the plant meant by Withering,
and that it is not different from A. grammopodius of
Bulliard as quoted by him, though he refers by miftake
to t. 585 of that author, inftead of t. 548. The
figures vary extremely. This plant is to be feen in
many places. The prefent ijjecimens were fent from
near Newmarket, by favour of the Rev. Mr. Hemfted.

AGARICUS AcicuLA. Schaff. 222.
T HIS pretty little agaric moft frequently occurs on
I'Otten flumps that are clothed with Hypnums., &;c. It is
fomewhat local, but not rare. It feems hitherto to
have efcaped the notice of Engliili authors, unlefs it
be Agaricus Hypni With. ed. 3. We find the gills fometimes
fixed to the ñipes, as he defcribes them.

AGARICUS MONSTROSUS.
T H E Angularity of this fungus made me give it a
figure, though I am not fure it is a fpecies. I found
it in vaft abundance on the left-hand fide of the road
leading to Coftefy, about a mile and a half from Norwich,
ten years ago.
