PREFACE. 
 
 F HIS volume has been produced in order to supply a want 
 adiicli has long been felt in the Australian Colonies, but which 
 hitherto has been found to be impracticable, as local publishers 
 w °uhl not undertake the risk. Fortunately this difficulty has 
 been removed by the combined action of the Governments of 
 the most important colonies to assist in this publication. It is 
 How issued under the sanction and authority of the Govern- 
 ments of Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South 
 Australia, and Tasmania. It has not been attempted to incor- 
 porate New Zealand, and only to refer to most of the species 
 ■^hieh are common to Australia and New Zealand, the majority 
 being different. 
 
 , The material upon which this work is based consists of the 
 s Pecies enumerated by Kalchbrenner in “ Grevillea,” and pre- 
 i Vl °us authors, with those collected since and communicated to 
 l he author by Messrs. F. M. Bailey, Dr. Berggren, Mrs. Flora 
 Martin, Baron F. von Mueller, F. Reader, Schomburgck, and 
 others. In addition to these may be mentioned the specimens 
 .secured by Sir Joseph D. Hooker, in his Antarctic Voyage, in 
 the Challenger Expedition, and other Expeditions which have 
 touched upon the coasts. 
 
 It is not supposed that the present work is by any means ex- 
 haustive of the Fungi of the Australian Colonies, since those 
 'vhich are so minute as to require the aid of a pocket lens are far 
 below the number which would be reasonably expected to occur

 over such a large expanse of country. Such specimens are unob 
 served by the ordinary botanical collector, and require some ex 
 perience to detect. Thanks are, tliorefore, due to the perseveranc 
 of Mr. F. M. Bailey, Mrs. Martin, and Baron F. von Mueller, i: 
 continuing to secure and forward specimens to England fo 
 identification, since, without their co-operation, this voluim 
 could scarcely have been produced. My thanks are also du 
 to Mr. George Massee for his constant assistance in the exami 
 nation and determination of the material which forms the basi 
 
 of this work. Except the Hymenomycetes, all the specimens, v 
 
 enumerated and described by Kalchbrenner were referred t< 
 myself at the time, and we shared the responsibility. 
 
 Unfortunately, in some cases, the localities attached to tin 
 specimens which have passed through my hands are not indi^ 
 cated, as also is the case with some published descriptions o 
 species which I have never seen, so that I have had to resf 
 content with the general indication of “Australia,” instead oj J

 the usual quotation of each colony. Interested persons wil|

 possibly take exception to the omission of the names of collectors’ 
 under each individual species, but as this could not bo done) 
 for lack of the necessary information in all cases, it was coir 
 
 
 sidered advisable not to attempt it in any. Moreover, thii 
 could hardly be classed as “ scientific information,” and vvouu 
 in no way have contributed to the practical value of the volume 
 The difficulties in the way of determination or description 
 from dried specimens, especially of Agaricini, badly preserved 
 with no information, and destitute of figures, are almost insur 
 mountable. Errors are almost inevitable in such cases, anil 
 there is never so much certainty or satisfaction as when th 
 specimens can he seen living, or in a fresh state. The bek 
 substitute for the latter condition lies in faithful coloured 
 drawings and accurate sections, with the addition of such note 
 as could not be indicated in the figures. This has been th 
 great desideratum with Australian Agaricini and Boleti. Rare!; 
 have the specimens been carefully dried, and much more rarel. 
 have they been accompanied by any notes or figures. Except 
 tions must be made in favour of some drawings by Miss Web! 
 Mrs. Martin, Mr. Tisdall, and some rough sketches by Mr

 Bailey, although often fox' lack of sections these have not been 
 all that could have been desired. As must be expected, a gi’eat 
 number of badly dried Agarics, without a scrap of information, 
 have been at once condemned as useless. 
 
 In the preparation of this volume my thanks are due to Mr. 
 VV. Phillips, of Shrewsbury, for his valuable assistance with 
 I the Discomycetes, and also to Mr. G. Massee for his aid and 
 counsel with the Gastx'omycetes and Myxomycetes ; and also to 
 Mrs. Flora Martin for her unflagging energy in smoothing the 
 way for the accomplishment of this long-cherislred design, now 
 brought to a close. 
 
 It has beon my endeavour, with the illustrations, to repre- 
 sent each genus, and the principal subgenera, as much as 
 possible by Australian examples. As for the classification and 
 ' arrangement, I accept the responsibility, and, if need be, shall 
 g i be prepared to defend it. I can only hope that the publication 
 :) | of this “ Handbook ” may prove a boon to the Colonies, and 
 p justify their Governments in having given to it their liberal 
 countenance and support.

 OF 
 
 AUSTRALIAN FUNGI. 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The immense tract of country presumed to be covered by this 
 work is the whole Australian continent, as far as it has" been 
 investigated, and the Island of Tasmania, but exclusive of New 
 Zealand. The fungi of some of the Colonies are better known 
 than others, but even in the best much still remains to be done, 
 since it is believed that researches have been local, and hence 
 incomplete. It is only during the past ton or fifteen years that 
 any earnest endeavour has been made to collect material for a 
 Work of this kind. 
 
 The first contributions to the Fungi of Australia may be 
 attributed to Flinders’ voyage in 1801 to 1805, when Robert 
 Brown enumerated about a dozen species. Succeeding to this 
 Were the collections of Cunningham from 1816 to 1831, and 
 Gunn in Tasmania from 1832 to 1850. These were mostly 
 described by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley, in connection with those 
 collected by Drummond in 1839. Meanwhile, in Western 
 Australia, Ludwig Preiss collected the forty species enume- 
 rated by Fries in “ Planta? Preissianse,” and published in 1846. 
 From this time forward Berkeley, in Hooker’s “ Flora Tas- 
 mania ” (1860) and in Hooker’s Journal for 1848, continued 
 Tasmanian Fungi, and in the same Journal for 1845 the species 
 collected by Drummond. Then came a period of rest, until, in 
 1873 and 1881, Berkeley issued papers on this subject, in the 
 1 Journal of the Linnean Society.” In 1878 Berkeley and Broome 
 Published their first communication on the Fungi of Queens- 
 land in the “ Transactions of the Linnean Society,” the second 
 and third papers appearing in 1883 and 1887. Meanwhile the 
 Challenger Expedition touched on the coasts, and collected the 
 species recorded in the “ Linnean Journal ” for 1878. It was 
 in 1880 that the Rev. C. Kalchbrenner commenced his series of 
 Australian Fungi in “ Grevillea,” and in the next year these 
 Were continued, in unison with M. C. Cooke. A collected list

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 now being deemed to be advisable Baron F. von Mueller kindly 
 provided for the publication of “ Fungi Australiani,” in con- 
 nection with his “ Phytographi* Australia),” and this was 
 issued in 1883, but the bulk of the copies were lost at sea. 
 This catalogue included 1,200 species. From that time to the 
 present a continued stream of specimens have been sent over for 
 determination, the new species being described in “ Grevillea; ” 
 some few smaller collections having found their way to the 
 Continent of Europe, and been recorded in “ Hedwigia,” 
 
 “ Malpighia,” and other continental journals, the whole of 
 which, we believe, are incorporated in the present volume. The 
 number of species collected by the U.S. Exploring Expedition, 
 one or two of the French Scientific Expeditions, or found 
 scattered through scientific literature, during the past half 
 century, has been small, and of little importance, but it is 
 hoped that none of them have been overlooked. By com- 
 parison it will be seen that the number of species has been 
 nearly doubled in less than ten years. All the specimens 
 described by Kalchbrenner, except the Hymenomycetes, passed 
 through the hands of the author of this Handbook, and he has 
 had access to all the species published by Berkeley, and by 
 Berkeley and Broome, as well as those published by himself, 
 'the only difficulty has been with the species published on the 
 Continent, of which he has seen some, but of the plants 
 included in “ Plantse Preissianae ” he has no knowledge, and 
 these are inserted on the authority of Fries. 
 
 Numerically the total of species for such a large tract of 
 country as Australia is very small, and, as yet, the orders are 
 disproportionate. Hitherto, for the most part, the largo and 
 conspicuous species have been collected, whilst the minute, for 
 which knowledge and experience are required, are very im- 
 perfectly represented. Taking the whole number of described 
 species of fungi, as represented in Saccardo’s “ Sylloge,” at 
 36,000, including the first portion of the supplement, then the 
 total for the Australian Colonies, of a little over 2,000, is but 
 one-eighteenth of the whole. Whereas, in the British Isles, 
 the Agaricini reach to 1,350, and, doubtless, the residue of the 
 Hymenomycetes would bring the number to 2,000, or equal to 1 
 all the orders in Australia. It is quite improbable that a total 
 of the Hymenomycetes of 1,174 species represents fully the 
 number which are indigenous, and yet the Hymenomycetes and 
 the Oastromycetes are the most numerous. Accepting 9,600 as 
 a fair computation of the number of described species of 
 Hymenomycetes, then a little more than one-eighth for the 
 colonies is not an unsatisfactory proportion, when it is taken 
 into account how short a time has been devoted to their 
 investigation. The Oastromycetes present several features of . 
 great interest, since it is probable that, when more complete, 
 this portion of the Flora will be exceptionally remarkable. The 
 total number of described species for the whole world is about 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 XI 
 
 650, but in this pi-cscnt work A 78 species are enumerated, or 
 more than one-fourth of the whole, for the Colonies ; whilst in 
 the British Islands only 75 are included in Massee’s “ Mono- 
 graph,” which is only less than one-eighth of the total described 
 species. From this we conclude that Gastromycetes are unusually 
 strong in Australia, certainly including some interesting genera, 
 not hitherto discovered elsewhere, but weak in subterranean 
 species. 
 
 Accepting 3,500 as the total of known Discomycetes, the 
 Australian catalogue of 133 species is essentially small, being 
 only one twenty-sixth of the whole, whereas in Great Britain 
 the number is not less than six hundred, and perhaps more, or 
 about one-sixth of the whole. This is accounted for, as in the 
 remaining orders, by the preponderance of minute species, 
 hardly distinguishable by the naked eye. In the Fyrenomycetes 
 the dearth of species is no less remarkable, for, out of a total 
 of no less than 7,500, not more than 200, or one thirty-seventh 
 part, are recorded for the Australian Colonies, but not less than 
 1)00 are found in the British Isles, or at least one-eighth of the 
 total number of recorded species. With the remaining orders 
 it is unnecessary to institute comparisons, as they are also 
 minute species, and the catalogue for the Colonies is very 
 rudimentary and imperfect. It may be taken for granted that 
 of the species which require the use of a pocket lens for their 
 detection, a large held for discovery still lies open, and it is in 
 this direction that the most numerous additions to the “ Hand- 
 book ” might be made. It is quite probable that, in the course 
 of a few years, by working up the minute species, the total 
 number contained in this volume would be more than doubled, 
 even without the investigation of unexplored districts. 
 
 Curious facts in geographical distribution are constantly pre- 
 senting themselves to those who have any extensive experience 
 in the plants, especially the fungi, of distant regions. It is of 
 common knowledge that such species as Schizophyllum commune, 
 Pomes lucidus, Polystictus occidentalis, Polystictus sanguineus , 
 Stereum lobatum, and some others, are to be met with in all 
 countries, from warm temperate to the equator, but there are 
 many species which are not by any means so common, or widely 
 distributed, which occur only in countries far apart, and with 
 broad expanses of ocean between them. There is no better 
 illustration of this than the occurrence of Ceylon species of 
 fungi in Australia. This is not confined to one or two species, 
 but is manifest in several species, of which we will proceed to 
 instance a few. There are Agarious ( Lepiota ) dolichaulos, B. & 
 Br., Agaricus ( Lepiota ) leontoderes, B. & Br., Agaricus ( Lepiota ) 
 aspratus, B., Agaricus ( Lepiota ) lepidophorus, B. & Br., Agaricus 
 ( Lepiota ) rhyparophorus, B. & Br., all Ceylon species of Lepiota , 
 which occur also in some parts of Australia. In scarcely any 
 other subgenus of Agaricus are so many Ceylon species found 
 outside the limits of the island. What are the special con- 
 
Xll 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 ditions which conduce to the appearance of the above species of 
 Lepiota, indigenous to Ceylon, in Australia ? 
 
 Undoubtedly the climate of Australia is favourable to the 
 growth of Boletus and Strobilom.yces, but, up to the present, the 
 only Ceylon species found in Australia is the gigantic Boletus 
 portentosus , B. & Br. But Ceylon is not productive for Bole.ti, 
 and, as far as we remember, this is the only indigenous species, 
 and that solitary one has appeared in Queensland, quite fourteen 1 
 inches in diameter of the pileus. 
 
 Amongst the Polyporei there is no more marked instance 
 than the occurrence of Polystictms Peradenice, B. & Br., which, 
 as its name indicates, was first found in Ceylon, but has since 
 been collected in most of the Australian colonies. Whatever 
 errors of determination there might bo with fleshy putrescent 
 fungi, there is no room for doubt in this species, which is 
 remarkable for its distinctive chai’acter. 
 
 lrpex jlavus, Kl., and Irpex zonatus, B., are not original ] 
 Cinghalese species, but they are also Australasian, as well as * 
 somewhat common in Ceylon. Kneifiia Muelleri, B., first found > 
 in Australia, was afterwards detected in Ceylon, and we have ■, 
 no recoi-d of it elsewhere. Hymenochvte strigosa , B. & Br., was 
 first described from Ceylon, and afterwards recognized in Aus- f 
 tralia. Hymenochade rhabarbarina, B. & Br., also a Ceylon « 
 species, has been found in New Zealand. Corticium simulans , 
 
 B. & Br., in addition to Ceylon and the United States, has been 
 collected in Australia. Stereum pusillum, B., has only been 
 recorded from Ceylon and Tasmania. Also Stereum sparsum, 
 B., only for Ceylon and Australia. Coniophora murina, Mass., ; I 
 was described from Ceylon, but has since been detected in 
 Australia. Aserde Zeylanica, Berk., is recorded for Ceylon and 
 New Zealand. Lycoperdon lilacinum, M. & B., although found 
 in other localities, including South Africa and South America, 
 is common also to Ceylon and Australia. Epichloe cinerea, 
 Berk., first received from Ceylon, has recently been collected in 
 Australia. Xylaria Schweinitzii , B. & C., was first discovered 
 in Surinam, it was found afterwards in Ceylon, and more 
 recently in two or three localities in Australia. This is not by 
 any means an exhaustive list, but suggestive of the relation- 
 ship between some of the larger fungi in two remote countries. 
 
 Comparing the Australian Fungi with those of Europe, we ' 
 find that 271 species of Agaricini, or altogether 472 species of 
 Hymenomycetes which are found in Europe extend to Australia, 
 which would seem to indicate that two-fifths of Australian 
 Hymenomycetes are European, but, probably, further investiga- 
 tion will prove this to be too large a proportion, since examina- 
 tion on the spot, and in a fresh condition, may determine some 
 of the species now referred to European types to be distinct, 
 since it is always difficult to be quite certain with only a dried 
 specimen or two of an Agaric, without any figure or details. 
 With the Gasteromycetes it is different, for, of the total of 173 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Xlll 
 
 Australian species, only 31 are European, and these are mostly 
 widely- diffused species. Of the total of Australian species of 
 the Hymenomycetes, now fixed at 1,174, we only recognize about 
 332 as exclusively Australian, which, with the 472 European 
 species, make 804 accounted for, leaving 370 species as common 
 to Australia, and some other country, exclusive of Europe, 
 some being found in New Zealand, Ceylon, Cuba, the United 
 States, and South America. 
 
 The classification adopted by Fries, in his “ Systema Myco- 
 logicum,” published in 1822, and amplified in his “ Summa 
 Vegetabilia” of 1846, was still imperfect and unsatisfactory, 
 inasmuch as it ignored all microscopical characters, and no 
 complete system was offered in its place until Professor 
 Saccardo commenced his “ Sylloge ” in 1882. It is, therefore, 
 to this latter work, with some modifications, that we have 
 resorted in the compilation of the present volume. The large 
 order of Hymenomycetes are not essentially different in their 
 arrangement from the Friesian method, although Saccardo has 
 raised all the subgenera of Agaricus to the rank of genera, with 
 which we are not prepared to coincide, and then altered their 
 sequence so as to bring them into four groups, according to the 
 colour of the spores. On the contrary, we have retained the 
 genus Agaricus intact, with its subgenera, which is succeeded 
 by the other genera of Agaricini, as in the “ Hymenomycetes 
 Europsei ” of Fries, and so on to the end. In some few instances 
 now genera are interpolated, or old ones transposed, as we think 
 with good reason, especially in the Tremellini ; and the large 
 genus Polyporus has been divided according to the method pro- 
 posed by Fries himself in his “ Nova; Symbol®.” In all these 
 instances we are in accord with Saccardo. 
 
 In the Gasteromycetes we have almost followed the “ Sylloge,” 
 except in one or two points, such as the suppression of 
 Mycenastrum, and the arrangement of Lycoperdon, in which 
 latter instance we have followed Massee’s “ Monograph.” We 
 have never considered that the Gasteromycetes was the strongest 
 group in Saccardo’s “ Sylloge.” The subterranean species, of 
 which there are but few, lead naturally to the Tuberacei, by 
 moans of which the Ascomycetes are entered. Then follows the 
 Discomycetes, in which we were content to accept the arrange- 
 ment of the “ Sylloge,” with some small modifications. The 
 Pyrenomycetes are very meagrely represented, but such of them 
 as there are, are classified according to the “Synopsis Pyreno- 
 mycetum ” published in “ Grcvillea,” in which the principle of 
 the “ Sylloge ” is departed from, in not taking the sporidia as 
 the fundamental basis of classification. Our opinions on this 
 point have been expressed freely elsewhere, and need not be 
 revived here. The Phycomycetes close this portion of the 
 work. 
 
 ^ The Hypodermece, which consists of the Ustilagines, and 
 Uredines, follow the “ Sylloge ” in their arrangement, as

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 embodying the latest views on this subject, although we still 
 venture to think that it is not the best, or, at any rate, that it 
 is still in a transition state. We are old-fashioned enough to 
 believe that for purposes of classification, features should be 
 taken which are present and evident in the specimens them- 
 selves, and are not dependent upon any of the phenomena 
 of their life history, which cannot be represented in the 
 herbarium. 
 
 Imperfect Fungi are those which are either known, or 
 assumed to be genetically related to other fungi, and therefore 
 not autonomous. These naturally follow the more perfect 
 groups, and hence the Sphoeropsidece and the Hypliomycetes, or 
 moulds, bring the acknowledged Fungi to a close. We have 
 written the words “ acknowledged fungi ” advisedly, because 
 there are some who will not acknowledge the Myxomycetes as 
 true fungi, and we do not wish to wound their susceptibilities. 
 
 The Myxomycetes are arranged according to the latest “ Mono- 
 graph,” by Mr. G. Massee, and consequently are not in accord- 
 ance with the “Sylloge,” at least as far as the sequence of 
 genera is concerned. That they should be classed with fungi 
 is still our own conviction, but the peculiarities of their vegeta- 
 tive stage separate them from all other groups. In their 
 reproductive stage their affinities are undoubtedly with fungi, 
 with some resemblance to the Qasteromycetes, but they can no 
 longer be intimately associated with that order, as was formerly 
 believed. 
 
 For the benefit of those who are unacquainted with the 
 principal features of the different groups which find a place in 
 this volume, and to facilitate them in its use, it may be per- 
 mitted here to diverge into a brief explanation. The Basi- 
 diomycetes include by far the largest number of Australian 
 fungi, and their chief distinction is that the spores, which are 
 analogous to seeds in the higher plants, are borne on the apices 
 of certain supporting bodies termed basidic . In typical forms 
 these basidia are more or less club-shaped, surmounted by four 
 minute points, or spore-bearers, called steriymata, each of which 
 carries a spore. The basidia packed closely together side by 
 side, and often intermixed with other stei’ile processes, termed 
 cystidia, constitute the spore-bearing surface or hymenium. 
 In the Hymenomycetes this hymenium is exposed, but in the 
 Gasteromycetes the hymenium is enclosed in an outer covering, 
 or peridium. The two groups known respectively as tho 
 Hymenomycetes and the Gasteromycetes constitute together the 
 Basidiomycetes. In the Hymenomycetes the hymenium is dis- 
 posed in various ways. For instance, in the Agaricini, to 
 which tho mushroom belongs, the hymenium is inferior, or on 
 the under surface of the cap or pi lens, and forms a delicate 
 membrane, which is folded in pleats or folds, like a fan, 
 radiating from the stem to the edge of the pileus. These folds.

 as Agaricus, Russula, Lentinus, etc., hut deliquescent in Coprinus,

 Marasmius, etc., but obtuse and vein-like in Oantharellus, 
 longitudinally channelled in Trogia, and splitting in Schizo- 
 phyllum. In order to assist in their determination, we have

 In the foregoing table the names of the genera are printed in small 
 capitals, and those of the subgenera in italics. 
 
 From the Agaricini we pass to the Polyporei, in which, whilst 
 the hymenium is still inferior, it is no longer spread over a 
 folded membrane, hut lines the interior of pores, which are 
 parallel to each other, and at right angles to the plane of the 
 pileus. There are but few genera, and these sufficiently distinct 
 to require no elaborate description. The only genera in which 
 the whole substance is fleshy are Boletus and its immediate 
 allies, Strobilomyces and Fistulina , at least in so far as the 
 Australian Flora is concerned. Between Boletus and Strobilo- 
 tuyeos there is very little difference, save that in the latter the 
 Pileus is broken up into large scales, whereas in the former the 
 pileus is even. Fistulina differs from both those in the pores 
 being the perforations of distinct separable tubes, and not 
 closely adnate and confluent tubes, as in Boletus, Strobilomyces, 
 and Polyporus. The residue of the genera, the substance, even 
 when it is rather soft and fleshy at the first, soon becomes firm 
 ft nd hard, often leathery or woody. The old genus long known 
 ^Polyporus has been broken up into four genera, in all of which 
 the hymenium is similar, the difference being that in Polyporus, 
 as now limited, the pileus is at first fleshy, but tough, becoming 
 hardened, rarely fragile, without furrows or zones on the pileus, 
 and with only a single stratum of pores. In Fames the pileus 
 18 Woody, with a hard crust, concentrically sulcate, and, being 
 perennial, usually with more than one stratum of pores, each 
 stratum being the growth of a single year. In Polystictus the 
 pileus is more or less leathery, with a zoned, usually somewhat 
 hairy or velvety surface, a fibrilloso internal stratum, and only 
 °ne series of pores. In the fourth genus, or Poria, there is no 
 Ihue pileus, the whole fungus being spread upon, and adnate to 
 the matrix, so that it appears as a stratum of pores seated upon 
 a kind of subiculum. Trametes differs from Polyporus and its 
 
XV111 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 allies in the dissepiments of the pores being thick and rounded, \ 
 and the pores being continuous with the substance of the pileus 
 and similar to it. Sc.lerodepsis resembles Trametes in some 1 
 things, but differs in the pileus being scutate at the base, an dr 
 the edges of the pores acute, and sometimes toothed. In 
 Dcedalea the pores are sinuous and very irregular. Hexagoniat 3 
 resembles Polystictus, with large hexagonal pores. These are'' 
 angular and radiating in Favolus, but rather rhomboidal than j 
 hexagonal. The substance is gelatinous in Laschia and Camp - 1 
 bellia, but more waxy in Merulius. The pores are formed by I 
 veins in Laschia and in some species of Merulius, but they aroti 
 deep and sometimes toothed in Campbellia, which seems to be I 
 stipitate, whereas the species of Merulius are sessile. Forothe- > 
 Hum unites the Polyporei with tlio Hydnei, since the pores aro 
 distant, and are practically perforated papillm. Solenia con- 
 sists, in our opinion, of elongated cups, similar to Cyphella, to 
 which it is really more closely allied than to the Polyporei. ’ 
 
 The Hydnei are distinguished by the hymenium covering 
 the outside of spines, warts, or papillm. In Hydnum the or ex- 
 cesses aro spines or teeth, as they are in Tremellodon, but in the I 
 latter the substance and structure approaches Tremella. In 
 Sistotrema the processes aro flattened teeth, as they are in frpex i 
 but m the latter connected at the base. Badulum has an i 
 irregularly tuberculose hymenium, and Fhlebia is somewhat 
 gelatinous, when living, with a corrugated hymenium. 
 
 ( Jrandtma , Odontia and Kneiffia are closely related, but in the 
 first the hymenium is warted or granulose, with the warts 
 obtuse ; m Odontia the warts are crested, and in Kneiffia there 
 are no warts, but the hymenium is rough with rigid set®. 
 
 In Thelephorei the hymenium is even, or nearly so, being at 
 the most only velvety. Craterellus has a waxy hymenium : 
 Lachnocladmm has the habit of a Clavaria, with a lateral 
 hymenium ; Thelephora a soft hymenium, on one or both sur- 
 faces, and the substance without any intermediate stratum 
 the spores commonly globose, or nearly so, and often rough’. 
 Cladoderns resembles Stereum rather than Thelephora, with a 
 leathery pileus and a veined hymenium. Stereum is also 
 leathery, with an intermediate fibrillose stratum, and an eves 
 smooth hymenium In texture and general appearance 
 Hymenochwte resembles Stereum, but the hymenium is velvety 
 with minute rigid set®. Feniophora is also velvety, with 
 warted, colourless set®, or processes resembling cystidia the 
 texture and habit resembling Corticium. The little genus 
 Aleurodiscus also resembles Corticium, but the form approaches 
 Cyphella in being cup-shaped at first. The structure of the 
 hymenium is peculiar from the presence of large, clavate 
 nucleate basidia mixed with nodular paraphyses. Corticium is 
 effused, with a waxy, smooth hymenium, and no intermediate 
 stratum, and hyaline spores, whereas in Coniophora the spores

 we profuse, powdery, and coloured. Gyphella resembles a cup- 
 shaped Gorticium or, still more, Peziza without, asci. 
 
 The fifth family, Clavarioei, consists of erect, simple, or 
 branched fungi, with the hymenium not distinct from the rest 
 of the fungus, surrounding the whole plant. In Sparassis the 
 branches are flattened into leafy lam in®, and the whole sub- 
 stance is fleshy. Olavaria is also fleshy, and either simple or 
 branched, wdth tapering bi’anches. Calocera resembles Glavaria 
 m form, but the substance is tremelloid when fresh. 
 
 The sixth family is the Tremellineae, in which the substance 
 is, more or less, gelatinous, shrinking in drying and reviving 
 with moisture. The genus which links it with the Thelephorem 
 is Auricularia, which in external appearance and habit is almost 
 ft Stereum, but the hymenium is vaguely ribbed and folded, 
 swollen and tremelloid when moist, but hard and horny when 
 dried. Similar to this in many features is Hirneola, but the 
 species are cup-shaped and the substance is thinner. The 
 hymenium is turned upwards, that is to say it is superior in 
 Hirneola and inferior in Auricularia. More decidedly tremelloid 
 are the four succeeding genera, of which Exidia is often 
 papillose. Ulocolla is *brain-like and folded, with the spores 
 bilocular in germination, l'remella is similar in form, but the 
 Spores and sporidiola are subglobose and never divided, whilst 
 m Seism, osarca every part has scattered bristles, and the spores 
 are colourod. The two remaining genera are Dacryomyces, in 
 which the species are small, the mature spores arc transversely 
 divided, and the conidia produced in chains, and Guepinia, 
 which somewhat resembles a Peziza in form, with a short stem. 
 This group has been the subject of study with Dr. Brefeld, and 
 the arrangement is based upon his observations. A great deal 
 depends upon the minute structure, as shown by the microscope, 
 ftnd especially the character of the basidia and the germination 
 °c the spores, although we think that the less such features as 
 the last aro introduced into systematic botany the better. 
 
 Conscious that such details as the foregoing, on the 
 characteristics of genera, are very uninteresting reading, we 
 shall only give a brief attention to the Gastromycetes, which are 
 too decided a feature in the Australian Flora to be ignored, and 
 omit all reference to the genera of the succeeding groups. It 
 has already been intimated that the Gastromycetes are 
 characterized by having the spores produced on basidia, but 
 tor the most part enclosed until maturity within an envelope, 
 y olva, or peridium. Three families contain all the genera, and 
 the first of these, the Plialloideat, has a hymenium which be- 
 comes slimy and deliquescent. The following table will 
 exhibit the distinctive features : —

 pressed. In some the peridium is double ; in others it is

 There is a fourth family, which includes the subterranean 
 species, or Hymenogastracece, but these, as yet, are so poorly 
 represented that no synoptical key is necessary. 
 
 The Ascomycetes are a large order of Fungi which derive their 
 name from the spores, or sporidia, being developed enclosed in 
 globose, clavate, or cylindrical sacs of delicate membrane, 
 termed asci. These asci are usually packed closely together 
 side by side, so as to form the hymenium, which is either con- 
 cealed within a closed receptacle, as in the Pyrenomycetes, or 
 becomes exposed, as a more or less concave disc, in the Dis- 
 comycetes. These are the two grand divisions of the Ascomycetes, 
 the Tuberacece being a smaller group containing subterranean 
 species, analogous to the subterranean species of Qastromycetes, 
 but having the sporidia produced in asci. At present these 
 are too incompletely represented for it to serve any useful 
 purpose to remark upon the relations of the genera. It may, 
 however, be well to refer here to the two groups at the latter 
 part of the volume which are associated together under the 
 term “ Imperfect Fungi.” These are the Splueropsideai and the 
 Syphomycetece. The former are typically so closely resembling 
 the Pyrenomycetes in habit and appearance that they may be 
 mistaken for them unless examined with the microscope, when 
 it is found that the spores within the perithecia are not pro- 
 duced in asci, but at the tips of short sporophores, or spore 
 bearers. Some of the species have been traced to an associa- 
 tion with certain species of the Pyrenomycetes , as imperfect 
 stages, or as pycnidia, or stylospores, but what is their special 
 function is yet undetermined ; some of them may prove to be 
 autonomous, but it is doubtful if many of them can be so 
 ennobled. As for the Hyphomycetes, or moulds, many of them 
 are believed to be the conidia of Pyrenomycetes ; such relations 
 subsist between many of the species of Isaria and Cordyceps, 
 between Tubercularia and Nectria, between Oidium and Erysiphe, 
 etc. It may be found hereafter that such destructive genera 
 as Cercospora, Fusicladium, and some others have no such 
 relationship, but nothing can be affirmed. It is prudent, for 
 the present, to regard them as imperfectly known, or, as we 
 have called them, “imperfect fungi.” 
 
 The Hypodermem include the fungi parasitic on living plants, 
 known as IJstilagines, or smuts and bunts, and the Uredines, 
 or rusts and brands. What we have to explain of the former 
 Oiay be put in a tabular form.

 The story of the Uredines is hardly to be told within the limits 
 of this introduction, although it is one which has a consider- 
 able interest for the agriculturist. We do not pledge ourselves 
 to any theory of heteroecism, inasmuch as we fail to recognize 
 it as satisfactorily proven, but we would not ignore the 
 existence of snch a theory, and that it has many followers. To 
 illustrate the phases of these parasites we may accept some 
 species of Puccinia as a type. In the first instance the host- 
 plant produces upon its loaves, in the spring, clusters of little 
 cups, partly imbedded in the substance of the leaf, which is 
 usually thickened and discoloured. These little cups constitute 
 the A'J cidium-f ovm , the margin is usually white and fringed, 
 and the interior filled with orange subglohose spores, produced 
 in chains, hut soon falling apart. The ascidiospores will 
 germinate when mature, and produce a thread of mycelium. 
 Smaller bodies are also to he found in company or in proximity,

 sometimes on the opposite surface of the leaf. These have the 
 form of minute embedded cells, containing very small hyaline 
 spore-like bodies, called spermatia, whilst the cells which con- 
 J tain them are spermogonia. What their function may be is as 
 yet only conjectural, but they are nearly always present, and 
 j presumably not without a purpose. Later on in the summer, 
 the same, or others, develop on either, or both surfaces, small 
 I brownish pustules, at first covered by the cuticle, but at length 
 the pustule splits irregularly, and exposes a powdery brownish 
 dust-like mass of nearly globose spores, each spore borne at 
 first at the apex of a short hyaline thread, these threads 
 arising from a cushion-lilce base of mycelium. These powdery 
 spores constitute the “rust" or uredospores, and with them ends 
 the second stage of the fungus, but how they are evolved from 
 the first stage, or how they produce the third stage, is a 
 mystery still . Nevertheless, the third stage is held to be the com- 
 plete or perfect stage, and the spores produced arc teleutospores. 
 these teleutospores are more or less elongated, divided by a 
 septum across the middle into two cells, and supported upon 
 hyaline spoi’ophores, or spore-bearing threads. They are pro- 
 duced in pustules similar to those of the uredospores, and often 
 mixed with them. A few of the teleutospores will sometimes 
 he observed growing within the pustules of the uredospores. 
 When the teleutospores are mature they do not always germi- 
 nate at once, but a period of rest supervenes, and perhaps they 
 may not germinate until the following spring. Each cell of 
 the teleutospore is capable of sending out a germ-tube, 
 through a special pore, and as this germ-tube grows, the con- 
 tents of the cell of the teleutospore pass into the germ-tube, 
 and to the extreme end. Ultimately a septum crosses the tube 
 and prevents retreat. One, two, or more buds or processes 
 appear at the end of the germ tube, and in time are converted 
 mto secondary spores, or promycelial spores, into which some of 
 the old spore contents pass, and then these smaller bodies are 
 eligible for the production of tubes of mycelium, prepared to 
 find an entrance into tho leaf of some new host plant, and com- 
 mence the cycle over again. Thus, then, we have, in order of 
 succession, spermogonia, aecidiospores, uredospores, and teleuto- 
 spores, the latter producing promycelial spores, as the most 
 complete and perfect condition of a Fuccinia. 
 
 But all these stages are not always to be found associated 
 together. The chain is not always perfect. In some cases the 
 -dSridium only is known, with or without spermogonia, or only 
 the uredospores are known, and in either of these eases the 
 tungi are regarded as imperfect, or imperfectly known Uredines. 
 Besides those cases in which aecidiospores, uredospores, and 
 teleutospores are produced on the same species of host plant, 
 there is another group, which those who have implicit faith in 
 heteroecism contend, produce the fecidiospores, with their sper- 
 mogonia on one plant, let us say a Berberry, and the uredo- 
 
XXIV 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 spores and teleutospores on another quite different species of 
 host plant, let us say, on wheat or barley. This is the con- 
 tention, but it is not our intention to argue the question here, 
 merely to state the assumption. 
 
 Then there is another group in which only the spermogonia, 1 , 
 uredospores, and teleutospores are known, and these all occur 
 on the same host plant. Here the recidiospores are absent. 
 
 In a fourth group only the secidiospores and teleutospores 
 are known, and these occur on the same species of host plant. 
 The uredospores are wanting, or if not absolutely wanting they 
 are only found mixed with the teleutospores, and do not form 
 pustules of their own. 
 
 In the fifth group teleutospores only are known, so that both 
 fecidiospores and uredospores are absent, and the teleutospores 
 only germinate after a period of rest. In another group, which 
 is little more than a sub-section, teleutospores only are known, 
 but they germinate at once upon arriving at maturity, without 
 any period of rest. Thus far, then, we have set out briefly the 
 grouping adopted by those who have devoted themselves most 
 actively to the study of Puccinia and its allies. A somewhat 
 similar grouping is adopted for TJromyces. Our object has been 
 to illustrate wherefore, in the descriptions of some species of 
 Puccinia, we have spermogonia, mcidiospores, uredospores, and 
 teleutospores all described as parts of the same whole, whereas 
 in other descriptions only some of these are to be found. 
 
 There are two or three small groups still remaining, to which 
 we have made no allusion, although they possess an interest of 
 their own. One of the most noteworthy of these is the Phyco- 
 mycetes, as represented in this “Handbook,” but an amplifica- 
 tion of the limits of that group as previously entertained. In 
 this idea we have followed Mr. Massee, in his recent volume, 
 “British Fungi, Phycomycetes,” etc. The old limitation con- 
 fined the species to the type of Nucor, having the habit of 
 moulds, but with spores enclosed within a sporangium, instead 
 of being produced naked, at the tips of branches. In this 
 aspect the group was assumed to have some relationship to the 
 Ascomycetes , in the compound fructification. As here repre- 
 sented, they consist of fungi having a mycelium typically 
 devoid of septa, and parasitic on living plants or animals, or 
 growing upon dead organic substances. Having sexual repro- 
 duction by means of oogonia and antheridia, or by the conjuga- 
 tion of similar branches, and an asexual mode of reproduction 
 by means of gonidia, or zoogonidia. The value of the different 
 sections may be gathered from the following arrangement : 
 
 A. Threads well developed. 
 
 Threads producing sporangia. Asexual reproduction by gonidia 
 i developed in sporangia ; sexual by zygospores . . . Mucoraceee. 
 
 Threads frequently branched, bearing zoogonidia, or passive gonidia. 
 
 Asexual organs gonidia ; sexual, oospores . . Peroiio &p o vetoetp . 
 
INTRODUCTION.

 Threads bearing zoogonidia. Asexual reproduction by zoogonidia ; 
 sexual by antheridin and oogouia, producing oospores 
 
 Suprolegniacece. 
 
 Threads bearing gonidia. Asexual reproduction by gonidia, and 
 thick-walled resting spores; sexual by zygospores 
 
 Entomophthoracere . 
 
 B. Threads obsolete. 
 
 Sporangia alone, without mycelium. Asexual reproduction by 
 zoogonidia; sexual by zygospores Chytridiacece. 
 
 Filiform byphse soon disappearing. Spoiangia thick-walled 
 
 Protomycetacece. 
 
 Some of these sections are unrepresented in this volume, 
 such as the Saprolegniacece, growing on fish, insects, or aquatic 
 plants, for the most part, and the Entomophthoracece, which are 
 usually parasitic on living insects. The Mucoracem has some 
 six representatives, the Peronosporacecv. about three, the lower 
 sections Chytridiacem two species, and the Protomycetacece a 
 single species. With so small a number no detailed analysis of 
 the genera is necessary. We may be excused for directing the 
 attention of cultivators of garden plants, or field produce, to the 
 devastation caused by the various species associated together in 
 the genera which make up the section Peronosporacece . 
 
 Two small groups, of uncertain affinity, but containing species 
 of the utmost importance, are the Saccharornycetes, or yeast 
 fungi, and the Schizomycetes, or microbes, which infest the 
 tissues of auimals and plants. The individuals composing 
 these groups are often infinitely minute, of low and simple 
 organization, but powerful by their numbers, and the future 
 may have much to reveal to us of their relations to health and 
 disease. 
 
 The final order to bo alluded to here is the problematic 
 Myxomyeetes , sometimes called Myxogastres, or, by some authors, 
 Mycetozoa. The individuals are for the most part small, from 
 the size of a pin’s head to that of a rape seed, but occasionally, 
 by confluence, much larger. They inhabit moist situations, 
 growing upon dead leaves, rotten wood, or similar substances, 
 and, in their eai’ly state, are soft and gelatinous. This is the 
 vegetative stage, in which it has been assumed that they are 
 offsets from the animal world. The final, or reproductive stage 
 is admitted to be analogous to, if not in affinity with Fungi, 
 Producing distinct spores in a powdery mass. These spores 
 on germination “give origin to one, two, or more naked cells, 
 which possess the power of movement, due to the protrusion of 
 Pseudopodia, or the presence of a cilium ; these cells are known 
 as swarm-cells. The swarm cells possess a nucleus, multiply 
 by bipartition, and eventually coalesce to form a plasmodium 
 ln the following manner. After the production of numerous 
 xwarm spores by repeated bipartition, little groups are formed 
 by the close approach of two or more of these bodies ; these 
 groups often disperse again, but eventually the components of 
 a group coalesce, and lose their individuality ; this coalescence

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 and loss of individuality results in the formation of a small 
 plasmodinm, which in some unknown way possesses the power 
 of attracting surrounding free swarm-cells ; these at once 
 coalesce, and add to the bulk of the plasmodium. The nuclei 
 of the component swarm-cells retain their individuality in the 
 plasmodium, the latter retaining the power of motion originally 
 possessed by its components, and represents the vegetative phase 
 of a Myxogaster.* 
 
 “ At the close of the vegetable period the passage of the 
 motile plasmodium into the stationary reproductive condition 
 is abrupt, and takes place as follows : — The surface of the 
 plasmodium becomes elevated into one or usually many pro- 
 tuberances. The original investment of the plasmodium is 
 continuous over these protuberances, into which the whole of 
 the protoplasm passes, leaving behind the remainder of its 
 pellicle attached to the substratum, and known as the fiypo- 
 thallus. When these protuberances, which may be sessile or 
 stipitate, are symmetrical, and individually distinct, they are 
 called sporangia ; when sporangia are irregular in form, usually 
 vein-like and creeping, the term plasmodiocarp is used ; finally, 
 when the sporangia are densely aggregated, so that their in- 
 dividuality disappears to a greater or less extent, an sethalium 
 is produced. The three conditions aro connected by inter- 
 mediate links.” 
 
 Having assumed some one of these forms, the contents of the 
 sporangia gradually become dry and powdery, and consist of 
 mostly globose or subglobose spores, mixed with delicate 
 threads, often forming a network, and known as the cavil- 
 litium. This capillitium may originate from a central colu- 
 mella, or from the base of the sporangium, and, when not 
 forming a network, radiates from the centre to the periphery. 
 By rupture of the walls of the sporangia the spores are dis- 
 persed. 
 
 The classification of these organisms, which has been adopted 
 in the present work, recognizes five orders, and several sub- 
 orders, as follows : — 
 
 Wall of sporangium not encrusted with lime. 
 
 Capillitiutn absent or formed from wall 
 
 of the sporangium ...... Pkiutuichacea:.

 The above arrangement differs from that adopted by Rosta- 
 finski, and most of the continental botanists, especially as to 
 the sequence of the orders and suborders ; but in detail there 
 is little difference in the alliance and limitation of genera and 
 species. 
 
 Thus much we have considered it advisable to provide for 
 ihe benefit of the uninitiated, as a prelude or introduction to 
 the technical descriptions which follow, and although brief and 
 insufficient for such as may be entirely ignorant of the orga- 
 nisms treated of in this volume, yet probably welcome to those 
 who have acquired a little knowledge and interest in an obscure 
 and somewhat neglected branch of botanical science. A com- 
 plete and satisfactory introduction to the study could scai’cely 
 have been accomplished in less space than is contained within 
 the covers of this book, which would have been foreign to its 
 original scope and design. 
 
 It would be difficult to estimate the number of Australian 
 species of fungi which are really edible, since in very few 
 Instances can we go further than those which are known to be 
 edible in Europe, and hence it can only be affirmed with 
 certainty that there are nearly seventy species, in all, which 
 can be relied upon. Of these, beside the common mushroom, 
 are the well-known Cantharellus cibarius, the beautiful Corii- 
 narius violaceits, the very useful Coprinus comatus, the European 
 Bydnum repandum, and cnralloides ; several kinds of Clavaria, 
 including bparassis crispa ; some Boleti, such as Boletus edulis , 
 Boletus granulatus ; half-a-dozen species of Beziza, and un- 
 doubtedly all the species of Morchella, or the “Morels.” But 
 there is no true Truffle at present known, and, if the Mylitta is 
 edible at all, which in its dried state seems to be impossible, 
 there is no account of it, or its properties, known to us. 
 Possibly some of the Lycoperdons are harmless enough, in 
 their young and juicy condition, but there is something very 
 suspicious, not to say repulsive, in the odour of the species of 
 Glathrus, that it seems hard to believe that Clathrus cibarius is 
 Worthy of its reputation as an edible species. The gastronomic 
 value must be determined in the Colonies, although we would 
 advise the utmost caution in such experiments. 
 
 Of deleterious species there are, unfortunately, many, not so 
 much toxicological as pestiferous, and in this we allude to 
 those minute species which attack, and destroy, plants of 
 economic value, such as the vine diseases, apple scab, tobacco 
 mildew, and many others, which it is beyond the province of

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 this volume to do more than enumerate and describe. As it is 
 in animal diseases so it is with those of plants, that a time 
 diagnosis must precede any attempts at remedy. All that a 
 work of this kind can accomplish is to supply the data whereby 
 the true character of the attacking fungus can be ascertained, 
 its relationships, and its methods of reproduction, and hence 
 conclusions may be drawn as to the best methods of applying 
 remedial measures. Empirical methods may sometimes suc- 
 ceed by chance, but the only real prospect of permanent success 
 is based upon a certain knowledge of the character of the 
 disease, and the life history of the parasite producing it. It 
 must be remembered that these pestiferous fungi are primarily 
 of two kinds, viz., those which are epiphytal, developed upon 
 the surface of the green parts, and attaining their end by 
 choking up the stomata, preventing transpiration and killing 
 the plant by suffocation; or they are endophytal, being pro- 
 duced within the substance of the tissues, and establishing 
 themselves long before there is any external manifestation of 
 their presence. The former class of diseases find a representa- 
 tive in the disease of the vine called Erysiphe viticola, and its 
 conidial stage, which is a species of Oidium, or effused white 
 mould. In such a case, as in the allied European vine disease, 
 caused by Oidium Tuckeri, and the common hop mildew, 
 Sphcerotheca Castagnei, the application of sulphur has proved 
 effectual, as the disease is external, and amenable to the action 
 of fungicides. But in the other and larger class of diseases the 
 fungi are either hereditary, or the mycelium, developed from 
 germinating sporules, enter the young plants secretly, and com- 
 mence the work of destruction by permeating the substance of 
 the tissues. The latter class includes the rust, smut, and 
 mildew of corn crops, and, in fact, all that group of fungi 
 which arc described in this volume under the title of Hypo- 
 dermece. In addition to these are the rotting moulds, included 
 under Perotwspora and its allies, as well as the species of 
 Fnsicladium, causing the “ apple scab,” and numerous other 
 groups of more or less importance, notably of the genus 
 Glceosparium. With these pests prevention is better than cure, 
 since the application of external remedies will fail to reach the 
 basis of disease, or either destroy tho parasite, or restore the 
 diseased tissues to healthy action. Clearly, then, the only safe 
 course is to ascertain accurately the nature of the disease, 
 which can only be done by a patient microscopical examination, 
 and, by taking advantage of the knowledge of its methods of 
 reproduction, to destroy the germs, or sporules, check its 
 extension, and “ stamp it out.” 
 
 By means of a passing reference to those terrible moulds 
 which attack the potato, tobacco, and tomato, and known 
 generally as Peronospora, we may indicate what we intend to 
 convey by “ knowledge of life history,” and how this know- 
 ledge may be turned to account. As a starting point we take 
 
INTRODUCTION.

 a conidium, or spore-body, such as will be produced, by scores, 
 on every fertile thread of the mould when mature. This 
 conidium is an elliptical, colourless, minute body, having a 
 thin outer coating of membrane, with fluid contents. These 
 contents soon become granular, and at length collect at three 
 °r four centres, which condense and ultimately aro distinctly 
 ■separated from each other by the growth of a special envelope. 
 Ultimately the membrane of the mother cell is ruptured, and 
 ihe three or four smaller bodies which have been differentiated 
 m its interior escape, each one furnished at one extremity 
 With a pair of delicate moveable hairs, by means of which 
 these little bodies, now termed zoospores, can swim actively 
 'n any thin film of moisture upon which they may fall. 
 Possibly this film may bo on the leaf of a foster plant. In a 
 short time all motion ceases and the zoospores come to rest, 
 the pair of delicate cilia are absorbed and a germinating thread 
 ls produced, the point of which seeks out and enters at one of 
 the stomata of the sustaining plant. Having once obtained an 
 entrance the thread grows vigorously, ancl a little mass of 
 threads, called a mycelium, is soon developed within the tissues, 
 capable of spreading itself through (lie plant which it has 
 infected. In the next stage we discover that this mycelium 
 has developed erect branched threads, which pass out through 
 the stomata again into the external air, sometimes singly, 
 sometimes in tufts. These are the fertile threads of the mould, 
 which soon produce a single conidium at the tip of each of the 
 hranclilets, just like the original conidium whence the 
 Zoospores were developed. When fully matured each fertile 
 thread produces a score or moro of these conidia, which fall 
 away when ripe, and then undergo transformation into 
 Zoospores, ready and active, prepared to pass through the same 
 stages again, and indefinitely multiply the pest. This history 
 represents the ordinary conidial fructification of the mould, by 
 means of which it is passed from leaf to leaf, and from plant to 
 plant, until the whole area is affected. How many of the 
 minute conidia may be transported to a considerable distance 
 hy a breath of wind it is impossible to say, but it is known 
 that they are capable of suspension in the air, and that they 
 may be carried to any spot where there is sufficient moisture 
 i°r the conidia to bo differentiated into zoospores, and after- 
 wards come to rest and germinate. This process takes place in 
 jammer and autumn, but there is yet another means by which 
 f he pest is disseminated in the spring. 
 
 The mycelium which flourishes within the substance of the 
 plant infested is capable of producing larger globose bodies, 
 * hiefly within the stems, concealed from external view. These 
 globose bodies secrete a thick envelope, mostly of brownish 
 °°lour, and after development they remain in a state of rest 
 Within the stems during the winter. So that old stems of 
 Plants which are infested with the mould during the autumn 
 
XXX 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 conceal within themselves during the winter a large number of 
 these “ resting spores.” As the old stems rot and decay the 
 resting spores are set free in the spring, and then a period of 
 activity commences. The contents of these globose bodies 
 become differentiated into a largo number of zoospores, which 
 ultimately escape, by a rupture of the thick envelope, armed 
 with vibratile cilia, and in all l’espects like the zoospores 
 which are developed from the conidia. These active zoospores 
 swarm over the damp soil, and are carried by the spring rains 
 into proximity with the young seedling leaves of the new crop 
 of host plants, then the cilia are absorbed, germination com- 
 mences, the delicate threads of mycelium enter the nearest 
 stomata, and infection results. In this way, in addition to the 
 spread of the infection from conidia in summer and autumn, 
 provision is made for an attack upon seedlings in the spring. 
 It will be inferred that, in order to check the spread of these 
 diseases, the conidia must be destroyed in the autumn, to 
 prevent their extension to healthy plants, and the destruction 
 of all rotting debris must be carried out during the winter, so 
 as to extirpate all the concealed resting spores, and thus 
 prevent the infection of seedlings in the spring. Thus it will 
 be seen that a knowledge of the life history of these parasites 
 will suggest the best methods to be employed in their destruc- 
 tion. 
 
 With these suggestions we must quit a subject which would 
 require considerable space to illustrate fully, or we might 
 allude to such corn diseases as “ rust ” and “ mildew,” in order 
 to demonstrate still further that all hope of alleviating the 
 mischief they cause must be based upon knowledge of the con- 
 ditions favourable or unfavourable to the reproduction and dis- 
 semination of the specific diseases. 
 
 It cannot be considered out of place to urge the importance 
 which attaches to fungi, as well as to other branches of the 
 Cryptogamia, that for the purpose of determining the species, 
 and even the genera, the specimens collected should be in a 
 perfect and fructifying condition. A very casual glance at the 
 following pages will be sufficient to carry the conviction that 
 everything depends upon the spore, or its analogue. The true 
 relations of an Agaric can only be sought for after the deter- 
 mination of the colour of the spores. All the minute species 
 in which the fructification is enclosed in a perithecium, having 
 the habit of a Sphceria, must, in the first instance, exhibit fruit 
 before it can be affirmed whether, by virtue of the presence of 
 asci, it should have its place in the Ascomycetes, or, on account 
 of their absence, among the Sphxropsidew.. Moulds, again, 
 which are devoid of conidia, are no better than a condition of 
 mycelium, and their relations cannot even be guessed at. 
 Spotted leaves are collected by novices, almost in myriads, 
 under the impression that whenever a living leaf has become 
 spotted, such spotting is produced by a fungus. The assump- 
 
INTRODUCTION.

 tion may often be correct, but not always, and even when 
 correct something more is required, for the evidence must be 
 present as to what kind of fungus has produced the spotting, 
 and this evidence depends on the presence of fructification. 
 Many a weary hour of fruitless labour may be expended in the 
 examination of spotted leaves which do not furnish the organs 
 essential to an accurate diagnosis. Hence it will be evident that 
 the mere collector must acquire sufficient elementary informa- 
 tion to guide him, and prevent the accumulation of a store of 
 waste material, in which a pocket lens will show no probabilities 
 °f fungoid growth in some condition of fructification. A little 
 knowledge and experience may be sufficient to determine the 
 presence of reproductive organs in some form or other, even 
 when larger experience and a more extended knowledge may be 
 Essential for accurate determination. 
 
 Information is continually being sought as to the best means 
 of preserving fleshy fungi, so as to forward them to distant 
 places for identification. It is by no moans easy to furnish such 
 advice, but the attempt must be made. The large woody Poly- 
 porei, and the leathery species of Stereum, only require to be 
 dried (flattened where possible) to be available for the 
 herbarium. With the soft and fleshy Agarics the case is 
 different, as they shrink out of all recognition, change colour, 
 and are liable not only to decay, but also to quick demolition 
 hy insects. No satisfactory determination of these can be made 
 unless accompanied by sketches of the form, size, and colour as 
 m life. It is not absolutely essential that they should be 
 coloured, although that is best, but the colours must always be 
 stated on the drawings. To assist those who are not facile 
 with the pencil, it is recommended that the specimen collected 
 should be divided longitudinally through the cap and down the 
 centre of the stem. When this is done one half should be laid 
 °n a sheet of white paper, with the cut surface downwards, and 
 Ike outline traced carefully upon the paper with a sharp 
 pointed pencil. On removing the specimen there will be left 
 upon the paper an outline of the form of the Agaric, natural 
 Size. This may be completed by hand, drawing in the line 
 parking the margin of the cap, indications of scales on the 
 pileus (if any exist), the character of the ring (if present), and 
 Ine scales, lines, or markings of the stem. Another copy of the 
 section, made side by side, on the same paper, would give the 
 outline of the gills, and by a little care and practice it would be 
 found easy to draw the line from the stem to the edge of the 
 °up, indicating the point of junction of the gills with the flesh 
 °f the cap. This should be done very carefully and accurately, 
 as it must be depended upon to show whether the gills are 
 fiuite free from the stem at their inner extremity, or whether 
 U 'ey are adnexed, or whether they are decurrent, and to what 
 ®xtent they run down the stem. Then, also, it should be shown 
 *f the stem is solid or hollow. A little colouring, even if not

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 artistic, would be more useful than mere description of the 
 general appearance of the Agaric. Then should follow copious 
 notes, embracing all the points essential to a true diagnosis — 
 whether growing on wood or on the ground ; whether viscid 
 when fresh, or perfectly dry ; whether of an agreeable or foetid 
 odour ; whether acrid to the taste, or pungent, or mild ; 
 whether moderately persistent or deliquescent ; and, if the 
 sketch is not coloured, then to state the colour of the cap, the 
 stem, and the gills, as explicitly as possible. It need scarcely 
 be added that the locality and date should be indicated, 
 together with a number, which should also be attached to the 
 specimens, or their remains. These latter should be dried as 
 thoroughly as possible, and sent with the sketches. 
 
 The only process of drying which can be recommended, as 
 applicable abroad, is to expose the Agarics or Boleti, or other 
 fleshy fungi, to a free current of air, so as completely to deprive 
 them of moisture. Care must be taken at this point that the 
 specimens are not attacked by insects. When dried, but not 
 brittle, a little pressure maybe used so that the specimens may 
 be flattened to assure greater convenience in packing. Carefully 
 cut sections through the centre of the pileus and stem would be 
 an advantage, but insufficient by themselves. These may be 
 dried between moderately absorbent papei-, which requires 
 changing every few hours. Collections made in this manner 
 have always been successful, in proportion as the instructions 
 have been carried out. It is useless to send specimens of this 
 kind abroad in spirits, or any kind of preserving fluid, as they 
 entirely lose colour, and, in some cases, are completely 
 destroyed. 
 
 Leaf fungi only require to be dried flat, in the same manner 
 that the foliage of flowering plants is dried for the herbarium, 
 under pressure. All indications of colour should be given, 
 wherever this is liable to be changed in drying, or by age. 
 
 Fleshy fungi, when undergoing a long voyage, are liable to 
 the incursions of insects, and especially of a marauding weevil. 
 If sketchos are made, the specimens may be poisoned before 
 packing, but in all cases they should be quite dry when packed, 
 and carbolic acid should not be used ; corrosive sublimate 
 usually answers the purpose fairly well, but some of the weevils 
 do not seem to object to it.
