THE FUNGI OF EPPING FOREST. 125
Lactarius aurantiacus Fr. = mitissimus Fr.
,, obliquus Fr.—an excentric form of trivialis Fr.
subumbonatus Lindg. = cimicarius (Batsch.) Gill.
Russula citrina Gill. non Quel.—ochroleuca.
chloroides (Krombh) Bres.= delica Fr. The green tint that so
often appears on the gills usually near the stem hardly justifies
a separate species.
,, Clusii Fr. = atropurpurea.
,, constans Karst. = claroflava Grove, which has been wrongly
identified with ochroleuca.
cutifracta Cke.—a doubtful species ; probably cyanoxantha or
vesca ; the latter frequently has the margin cracked.
furcata (Pers.) Fr.—A much disputed species. The furcata of
Cooke's Ill. 978 (1036) from Fairmead is a greenish form of
cyanoxantha. The furcata var. pictipes of Cooke's Ill. 979
(1086) from Cuckoo Pit. Epping may also be a form of
cyanoxantha, but this requires further observation and Mr.
Rea may be right in assigning it to furcata. His own descrip-
tion of furcata suggests heterophylla Fr. In Syst. Myc. Fries
placed heterophylla as a var. of furcata.
granulosa Cke. = ochroleuca.
,, mitis W.G. Sm. = vesca Fr. or amoena Quel.
ochracea (A. & S.) Fr. = fellea.
punctata (Gill.) Maire = amoena Quel. Though punctata is an
earlier name, it was at the time a synonym, the epithet having
been used at a prior date for another species of Russula.
,, purpurea Gill. = atropurpurea.
,, rubra—This epithet is now reserved for rubra (Krom.) Bres.
In Britain rubra was usually applied to what we now call
atropurpurea. Cooke's Ill. 996 (1025) from Monkswood and
997 (1087) are both atro-purpurea Krombh.
,, rosacea Fr. This record probably refers either to sanguinea
(Bull.) Fr. or to a form of exalbicans Secr.
,, sphagnophila Kauffm. = R. venosa Vel. A form of this species
was illustrated by Cooke 1035 (1081) as Russula roseipes
Secr. It was first described by Melzer as R. betulina a name
which had already been used. Singer identified it with an
American species sphagnophila which other authors consider
different. Finally (we hope!) Metzer adopted the name
venosa under which it had also been described by his com-
patriot Velenosky. It is fairly common in wet places under
birch in early summer and is very variable.
subfoetens W. G. Sm. Not a clearly defined species. In this
list it is assumed to be farinipes Romell.
Entoloma jubatum—Until recently this name was used by British myco-
logists for the common agaric that grows in pastures and was
described by Fries under the name Entoloma porphyrophaeum.
The jubatum of Fries has not yet been recorded for this
country.
,, pluteoides Fr.—a doubtful species ; probably rhodopolium.
