PREFACE. 


Thirty'  years  have  passed  since  the  first  edition  of  the 
Outlines  of  British  Fungoloyy  was  published.  During  this 
time  the  species  of  fungi  known  to  be  British  have  more 
than  doubled  in  number.  Not  only  new  species,  but  many 
new  genera  of  fungi  have  been  added  to  the  British  lists. 
Mr.  Berkeley,  in  the  first  edition  of  this  work_,  was  only 
able  to  partially  avail  himself  of  Fries'  writings.  In  1876 
Fries  published  his  latest  work  on  the  higher  fungi, 
or  Hymenomyeetes,  under  the  name  of  Hijmeiiomycetes 
Eu7'opcei  sive  Epicriseos  Sijstematis  Mycoloyici.  In  that 
work  Fries  reviewed  the  whole  family,  added  several  new 
sub-genera  to  the  genus  Agaricus^  as  well  as  new  genera 
elsewhere,  and  abolished  as  spurious  several  genera 
originally  established,  and  incorporated  by  Mr.  Berkeley  in 
his  Outlines. 

The  additions  and  alterations  being  so  extensive,  the 
publishers  determined  upon  the  issue  of  a  new  edition, 
which  should  bring  the  record  of  the  larger  fungi  up  to 
the  present  state  of  knowledge,  and  the  first  idea  was  to 
publish  a  supplement  with  the  names  and  descriptions  of 
the  new  British  species.  On  making  this  attempt,  it  was 
found  to  be  thoroughly  impracticable,  owing  to  name 
alterations  and  to  the  re-arrangement  of  many  groups  of

vspecies  by  Fries,  and  their  transference  sometimes  to  other 
sub-genera  or  even  genera.  As  the  number  of  new 
British  species  was  found  to  exceed  the  number  of  the 
old,  it  was  decided  to  make  the  supplementary  part  of  the 
new  edition  include  the  names  of  the  whole  of  the  British 
species  of  Hymenomycetes.  The  species  as  given  in  the  first 
edition  of  the  Outlines  are  not  re-described  in  this  volume, 
but  the  page  at  which  the  description  may  be  found  in  the 
first  volume  is  given  after  the  name.  This  plan  has  fur- 
nished the  opportunity  of  adding  the  diameter  of  the  pileus 
to  the  descriptions  of  nearly  all  the  Hymenomycetes. 
This  addition  is  most  necessary,  as  one  of  the  first  facts  a 
beginner  wishes  to  acquaint  himself  with  is  the  size  of  the 
fungus  described.  A  few  species  of  fungi  vary  greatly 
in  superficies,  but  the  majority  have  an  average  size. 

Another  addition,  which  it  is  hoped  will  be  found  of 
value,  especially  to  London  students,  is  the  marking  of  all 
the  species  hitherto  found  in  Epping  Forest. 

The  new  descriptions  have  been  made  as  short  as 
possible,  according  to  Mr.  Berkeley's  original  plan.  Fries 
has  described  nearly  all  his  species  three,  four,  or  more 
times,  and  the  longest  descriptions  are  in  his  Motiographia 
Hijminomycetvm  Sttecue  and  Hi/incnomi/cetes  Et/rojuei.  The 
descriptions  of  Fries'  species  in  the  present  volume  have 
been  condensed  from  the  two  works  just  quoted.  It  has 
not  been  thought  necessary  to  repeat  generic,  sub-generic, 
and  sectional  characters  in  the  specific  descriptions.  For 
instance,  if  "  gills  decurrent "  is  found  as  a  sub-generic 
or  sectional  character,  it  must  be  understood  that  this 
character  applies  to  every  species  in  the  sub-genus  or 
section  which  follows,  unless  otherwise  pointed  out  in  the 
specific  description.      The  generic  and   sub-generic  charac- 


PKEFACE.  vn 

ters^  as  given  by  Mr.  Berkeley,  are  not  repeated  in  the 
present  volume,  but  the  page  at  which  the  description  may 
be  found  in  Vol.  I.  is  in  every  instance  given.  The 
characters  of  all  new  genera  and  sub-genera  are  given  in 
full,  and  the  minor  sectional  characters  as  given  in  the 
present  volume  will  be  found  to  aid  greatly  in  the  deter- 
mination of  species ;  in  fact,  as  Vol.  II.  contains  more 
specific  descriptions  than  Vol.  I.,  as  well  as  a  complete  list 
of  all  the  higher  fungi  recorded  for  Britain  up  to  date,  it  is 
obvious  that  Vol.  II.  should  be  used  for  the  determination 
of  species  and  Vol.  I.  as  a  supplement.

Amongst    the    new   sub-genera    of   Agaricus,    Hiatula, 
p.   11,  is    placed   in   this  work    amongst  the   white-spored 


Agarics,  between  Lcpiota  and  ArmiUaria.  This  sub-genus 
is  elevated  to  a  genus  and  placed  next  to  Coprinus  by 
Dr.  M.  C.  Cooke,  in  the  new  edition  of  his  Handbook  of 
British  Fungi  (now  in  course  of  publication  in  GreriUea), 
and  by  the  Rev.  John  Stevenson  in  his  British  Fungi — 
Hyinenomycetes.  Both  authors  seem  to  have  overlooked 
the  later  views  of  Fries,  the  founder  of  the  section  Hiatula, 
as  published  in  the  Transactions  of  the  Woolhope  Club, 
1870  (p.  179).  Fries  there  says  :  "  The  space  in  the  series 
Leucospori,  left  vacant  between  2  and  3 "  (Lepiota  and 
Arniillaria — analogous  with  Phiteus  and  Pilosace) ,  "is  very 
well  filled  by  the  sub-genus  Hiatula,  described  in  my  work 
Nov.  Si/m.  Myc.  Of  this  genus  there  are  numerous  tropical 
species,  and  two  are  found  growing  in  our  hot-houses  on  the 
stems  of  orchids.  They  have  been  found  growing  in  a  similar 
situation  at  Amsterdam."  Fries  was  obviously  right  in 
his  later  determination,  as  Hiatula  agrees  exactly  in  struc- 
ture and  habit  with  Pluteus,  Phiteolus,  and  Pilosace. 

Amongst  the  rosy-spored  Agarics,  the  sub-genus  Eccilia, 
unknown  as  British  when  the  first  edition  of  the  Outlines 
was  published,  is  now  represented  by  nine  species.  The 
sub-genus  Claudopus  contains  three  species,  removed  from 
Crepidotus,  the  spores  being  rosy,  and  not  truly  brown. 

Amongst  the  brown-spored  Agarics,  five  sub-genera  have 
been  added  since  the  publication  of  the  Outlines.  The 
first  is  Acetabularia,  which  corresponds  with  Amanita  and 
Volvaria ;  the  next  is  Togaria,  which  corresponds  with 
Lepiota  and  the  non-British  Annularia.  Togaria  was 
suggested  by  Fries,  whose  words,  published  in  the 
Trans.  Woolhope  Club.,  1870  (p.  179),  are  "  Agaricus  aureus 
occupies  in  the  series  Dermini  the  space  between  Lepiota 
and  Psalliota,   which    would  readily  maintain   the  type  of 


X  PREFACE. 

its  sub-geuus  Togiiiia.  But,"  adds  Fries,  "  I  am  un- 
willing to  found  a  new  sub-genus  from  a  single  species/' 
A.  aureus  is,  however,  not  the  only  species  which  agrees 
with  Lepiota  and  FsalUota ;  all  the  first  eight  terrestrial 
species  of  Pholiota  rightly  belong  to  Toyaria.  Phiteolus 
corresponds  with  Hiatula  and  Pluteus.  Fries,  Cooke,  and 
Stevenson  have  misplaced  this  sub-genus  in  putting  it  next 
to  Galcra ;  it  should,  as  its  structure  and  habit  show, 
be  placed  between  Totjaria  and  Pholiota,  in  the  posi- 
tion of  Hiatula  amongst  the  white-spored,  and  Pluteus 
among  the  rosy-spored  Agarics.  Inocybe  was  formerly 
included  in  Hebeloma.  Tubaria  contains  species  formerly 
included  in  Navcoria  and  Galeru.  Amongst  the  purple- 
spored  Agarics,  the  sub-genera  Chitonia  and  P'llosace  are 
new  since  the  publication  of  the  Outlines.  Strop// aria  was 
formerly  included  in  Psalliota. 

It  has  not  been  thought  desirable  to  make  more  exten- 
sive alterations  in  sequence  or  the  establishment  of  new 
genera  in  the  present  volume.  Nearly  all  the  descriptive 
work  is  that  of  Elias  Fries,  and  this  new  edition  of 
Berkeley's  Outlines  fairly  represents  Fries'  views  and  con- 
clusions at  the  time  of  his  death. 

As  Mr.  Berkeley's  original  work  gives  descriptions  of  all 
the  larger  British  fungi,  including  puft-balls,  truffles, 
pezizae,  &c.,  the  recent  additions  to  the  lists  of  these  fungi 
have  been  made  good  in  the  present  volume. 

No  references  to  published  illustrations  of  fungi  are 
given  to  the  first  1388  species — i.e.,  to  the  end  of  Ayaricini 
at  p.  273 — as  nearly  all  these  fungi  are  illustrated  in  colour 
in  Illustrations  of  British  Fungi  by  Dr.  M.  C.  Cooke.  For 
the  succeeding  species,  references  to  published  plates  are 
given.

Two  hundred  and  fifty-five  excellent,"  life-size,  coloured 
models  of  a  select  number  of  the  higher  fungi,  made  by  the 
late  Mr.  James  Sowerby,  are  exhibited  in  the  public  gallery  of 
the  Department  of  Botany  at  the  British  Museum — Natural 
History — South  Kensington.  These  models  are  arranged  in 
botanical  sequence,  and  may  be  consulted  with  advantage. 
The  Cryptogamic  Department  of  the  British  Museum  also 
possesses  a  collection  of  water-colour  drawings  illustrative  of 
the  higher  fungi ;  these  drawings  are  many  hundreds  in 
number ;  each  illustration  has  been  prepared  from  a  typical 
living  example.  The  drawings  are  supplied  with  sections 
and  other  details,  and,  like  the  models,  are  arranged  in 
botanical  sequence.  By  permission  of  the  Keeper  of  the 
Botanical  Collections,  the  drawings  may  be  examined  and 
studied. 

The  following  summary  of  the  number  of  British  species 
of  Hymenomycetes  at  present  known  will  show  the  great 
advance  in  their  number  since  1860.  In  the  Outlines 
Mr.  Berkeley  described  877  species.  In  Dr.  Cooke's  Hand- 
book, published  in  1871,  1041  species  are  described.  In 
1886,  Mr.  Stevenson,  in  his  British  Fungi — Hymenomycetes, 
has  enumerated  1673  species ;  whilst  in  the  present  volume 
no  less  than  1919  species  are  recorded.  A  large  number  of 
varietal  forms  new  to  Britain  are  also  described.  The  non- 
hymenomycetal  fungi  described  in  this  volume  have  in- 
creased in  number  in  a  similar  proportion. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  supplemental  volume,  use  has 
been  made  not  only  of  Fries'  and  other  original  works,  but 
of  Messrs.  Berkeley  and  Broome's  contributions  to  the 
Annuls  and  Magazine  of  Natural  History ;  to  the  Rev.  John 
Stevenson's  British  Fungi — Hymenomycetes ;  to  Dr.  M.  C. 
Cooke's  revision  of  his  Handbook  of  British  Fungi,  as   pub-

the  TlielephorecB,  as  published  in  the  Journal  of  the  Linnean 
Society,  was  not  far  enough  advanced  for  its  study  and  in-

Inocybe,  with  the  next  subgenus  Hebeloma,  corresponds  with 
Tricholoma  and  Entoloma,  spores  more  or  less  fuscous- 
ferruginous,  not  white  or  rosy.  Inocybe  would  have  been 
better  kept  as  a  section  of  Hebeloma ;  or  subgenera 
corresponding  with  Inocybe  should  have  been  established 
amongst  the  white,  rosy  and  purple-spored  series  of  Agarics.

The  genus  Peziza  of  the  Outlines,  is  now  represented  by 
the  Order,  Pezizee,  in  two  Series :  Nudee  and  Vestita. 
These  Series  contain  twelve  genera  and  twenty-nine  sub- 
genera, as  compared  with  the  eleven  subgenera  of  the 
Outlines.  The  sequence  of  species  now  diflers  from  the 
sequence  as  given  in  the  Outlines.  In  the  following  list  of 
British  species,  new  since  the  publication  of  the  Outlines, 
only  those  species  are  given  which  measure  an  inch  or 
more  in  diameter.
