IRELAND; AUTHOU OF 'dISEASKS OF FIi;i,n AND GARDEN CROPS,' El LONDON : L. REEVE & CO., HENRIETTA STREET, COVENT GARDEN 1891. 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 108152 VI PHEFACE. 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. The following is the sequence of the sixty-three genera of Hymenomycetes, as given in the present volume : — 1 Agaric us. 2 Moiitagnites. 3 Coprinus. 4. Bolbitius. 5. Cortinarius. 6. Gomphidius. 7.

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. TKEFACE. xi 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- Xll lilEFACE. lished, ill Grevillea, to the end of the A(jaricini ; and to British Discomycetes hy Mr. William Phillips, Dr. Cooke's revision of the Pohjporei, as recently published in Grevillea, Vol. XTII., is at present too imperfect for in- corporation in a Handbook, and Mr. Massee's monograph of the TlielephorecB, as published in the Journal of the Linnean Society, was not far enough advanced for its study and in- corporation in this volume at the time of going to press.
