TAB. XXXVIII.
PEZIZA stipitata. Huds. 636. With. v. 3. 436.
Rather a scarce plant. These specimens were found on Finchley Common. The stalk is solid, and, as well as the outside of the cup, slightly downy. The upper side is smooth; its texture wax-like.
TAB. XXXIX.
HELVELLA Mitra. Linn. Sp. Pl. 1649. Huds. 632. with. v. 3. 430.
Found in several parts of Norfolk, especially to the west of Norwich. The Rev. Mr. Abbot observed it at Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire.
The remarkable flutings and sinuosities of the stalk characterize this species. The pileus varies a little in form and colour, and the whole fungus sometimes turns black in decay.
TAB. XL.
CLAVARIA cornea. Relh. Suppl. 3. 34.
C. acculeiformis. Bull. t. 463. f. 4.
I have been favoured with specimens of this species by the Rev. Mr. Relhan himself, with his own name to them, and also by Thomas Walford, Esq. of Birdbrook, Essex, under that given by Bulliard. The gentleman last mentioned found them upon timber that had been squared, situated longitudinally with the grain of the wood, never across it. I have observed the fame at Hampstead, and in Kensington Gardens.
