ADDENDA.

Species accidentally omitted, or published during the progress of this work.

=Lepiota Bresadolae=, Schulz. (= L. cupreus, Schulz.). P. 4-8 cm. umb. subcylindrical then broadly campan. at first glabrous and entirely coppery, then broken up into broad, fibrillose subimbricate scales; g. remote, narrowed at both ends, crowded, white then pallid; s. clavate at base which is coppery, pale above, ring white then coppery; sp. 6-9 long.

(Next L. mastoidea, p. 8.)

=Lepiota minuta=, Vogl. P. 6-8 mm. slightly fleshy, even, campanulate then exp. brick-red, viscid; g. free, white, densely crowded; s. equal, even, dry, brownish, with a very narrow ring; sp. globose, 2-3.

(Near Lepiota delicata, p. 14.)

SCHULZERIA, Bresad.

Flesh of stem distinct from that of pileus; gills free and remote from the stem; spores hyaline; ring and volva absent.

This genus follows Lepiota, from which it differs in the absence of a ring.

=Schulzeria squamigera=, Schulz. and Bres. P. about 2 cm. rather fleshy, convex then exp. dry, umber at first then whitish, surface broken up into fibrous brownish-umber scales; g. crowded, subventricose, white, free, somewhat remote from stem, 3 mm. broad; s. equal, whitish, with lax umber scales which soon disappear; flesh white, compact; sp. 5-8 x 4.

=Schulzeria rimulosa=, Schulz. and Bres. P. 8-10 cm. fleshy, hemispher. then exp. rather irreg. even, glabrous, dry, lurid white, epidermis falling away then becoming areolately cracked; g. rather distant, 9-15 mm. broad, white then straw-colour, rounded at both ends, sometimes subsinuate behind, free, remote; s. equal, subexcentric, glabrous, colour of p.; sp. 5-6 x 3.

=Schulzeria septentrionalis=, Karst. P. about 10 cm. fleshy, soft, convex then exp. subumb. even, glabrous, dry, whitish; g. free, remote, broad, whitish, somewhat crowded; s. central, equal, base slightly bulbous, distinct from flesh of p. glabrous, whitish.

=Tricholoma Czarnii=, Roum. (= Ag. prasinus, Lasch. in part). P. 6-8 cm. very fleshy, convex then convex-plane, rather viscid, yellowish, disc darker, glabrous, edge slightly fibrillose; g. crowded; arcuate, broad, emarginate, pallid, rosy in section; s. solid, straight, clavate, slightly striate, colour of p., not longer than thick; sp. ----.

Allied to T. coryphaeum, differing in general aspect of p., g. never yellow-edged, less viscid, and no smell.

(Next T. coryphaeum, p. 17.)
