TAB. CLXXVI.

HYDNUM repandum. With. v. 3, 336. Schæff. 318.
HYDNUM repandum.— — — Bull. tab. 172.

In Peckham and Hornsey Woods, plentifully every autumn. It is frequently sportive in shape, even to the very points, which I have found lamellated as in the figure. The colour varies but little. The substance is very brittle.


TAB. CLXXVII.

PEZIZA paillaria. Bull. t. 467, fig. 1.

Found on rotten stumps in Hornsey Wood and other places, in damp autumns. It appears that the hairs at the edges and the sides are deciduous. It is very much frequented by infects, which are so much covered by it, as to appear like the fungus in motion, or the mites in cheese; but a magnifying lens soon discovers the deception.


TAB. CLXXVIII.

PEZIZA hydnoides.

On bits of flicks, &c. in damp woods and shady places.
