on healthy graffes, &c. and not oozing out, or in the
leaft degree appearing to grow from them. Sometimes
it runs over dead leaves, &c. in woods and
other places. It decays like the laft, varying according
to the weather, and is often fmoother coated, in fome
parts occafionally whiter, as if bleached. It occurs
after rain in autumn.
FIG. 3. R. CARNOSA. Bull 424. f g . i.
THIS cafually falls (if I may fo fay) on thriving
graffes, &c. It is very nearly allied to R. alba, being
cottony, like that, on the outfide, but more condenfed
within, holding a black powder in fomewhat labyrinthiform
cells, like the two former.
F I G . 4. R. CEREA.
PERHAPS a variety of the laft; dried fomewhat
waxy before it was quite ripe, as fometimes happens
to fome of the Fungus tribe.

The cracks in the ikin are perhaps caufed by drying
fuddenly.
F I G . 1. L. EPIDENDRUM.
A VARIETY in a very luxurious and moift ftate, as
1 have often deteiled it in Kenfington Gardens, though
in fmaller quantities.
FIG. 3. THE SAME IN A LATER STATE.
THESE two figures are taken from drawings made
by Mifs Browne, of Netherfet, near Norwich.
FIG. 4. MUCOR FULVA.
THIS grew on rats' dung. The ftipes is of a tranfparent
white, tapering upwards; the head round, compofed
of a yellow powder, with a few pellucid drops of
moifture attached to it in different parts.

1 HAVE only met with this beautiful fpecies once in
Kenfington Gardens. The ftipes is pellucid, white,
tapering upwards ; the head round, its upper half curioufly
netted, the lower entire, yellow, including duft
of the fame colour.
FIG. 6. SPH^IROCARPUS PYEIFORMIS. Bull, j^it• fig.
THESE fpecimens, I fuppofe, were not perfefted, as
they were moftly burft, or preffed, fo as to difcharge
moifture. They were of a yellowifli white, or cream
colour, the ftipes whitifti, tapering upwards, the head
yellow; fome pear-fliaped.
FIG. 7. MUCOR ERYSIMI.
NOT unfrequent on the pods, &c. of garlic muftard,
Eryfitnum alliaria. It is very fmall, covering the plant
fo as to give it a powdered appearance. When highly
magnified, each Fungus is found branching in nearly
biternate order, each branch terminating with little
oblong or ovate veficles, with a furrow on one fide.

Metb. p. 41. t. 4. fig. 2.
FOUND on dead leaves at Batterfea, &c. It forms
fmall bundles, creeping, jointed, without apparent
fwellings, but fomewhat attenuated towards the apex.
FIG. 9. PacciNiA RÜBI.
VERY common, in autumn, on the leaves of brambles,
fpotting their backs with little footy-looking
clufters, which, when magnified, are found to confift
of a number of tranfparent ftems, tapering upwards,
each with three or four oval heads, refembling little
black beads placed on each other, the uppermoft fomewhat
acute at the apex. It is alfo not uncommon on
the foliage of fome of the Rofa.
