THE HISTORY OF MYCOLOGY IN ESSEX. 225
I received them. It should seem very nearly allied to Peziza
stipitata. The odour was disagreeable.
TAB. CLVI.
Clavaria anthocephala. Bull. 452. With. ed. 3. 366.
[Thelephora.]
Sent by my kind friend Thomas Walford, Esq. with Helvella
fuliginosa. I have found it sparingly on Hainault Forest; it
is of a tough woody texture.
TAB. CLVIII.
Clavaria laciniata. Bull. t. 415. With. ed. 3. 366. [Thele-
phora.]
This came from Birdbrook. It is much rooted in the earth,
and seems to depend on the rising irregularities and herbage
for support, spreading elegantly in all directions.
TAB. CLXIV.
Agaricus pilosus. Huds. Fl. Angl. 622. [Marasmius
Hudsonii.)
Mr. B. M. Forster favoured me with specimens of this curious
Agaric from Hollybush-Hill near Wansted in Essex. Mr.
Dickson, I believe, first found it on the decayed foliage of Holly
(Ilex aquifolium) near Croydon, Surry, and gave it to Mr.
Hudson.
TAB. CLXX.
Agaricus picaceus. Bull. tab. 146. [Coprinus.]
Not very common. I found it on Hainault Forest, Essex, and
at Peckham-wood, in October and November 1795. Lord
Viscount Lewisham observed it about the same time.—Surely
it is very nearly allied to Agaricus conspersus of Dr. Withering,
though much larger.
TAB. CCXXI.
Agaricus hybridus. [Flammula sapinea.]
Common on some parts of Epping-forest, in September and
October: I have seen it but seldom elsewhere. It partakes a
little of the characters of some other Agarics; I have therefore
called it hybridus. The pileus somewhat resembles A. glutinosus
of Curtis, and, like most of the Fungi, is glutinous in wet weather.
TAB. CCXXVI.
Boletus albidus. Schaeff. tab. 124. [Polyporus caesius.]
A Very tender species. When fresh, it cannot be touched,
however gently, without showing the bruise, by immediately
