TAB. CCLVI.

SPHÆRIA fragifomis. With. ed. 3. v. 4. 391.

Found in great abundance on sticks, stumps, Sec. in every damp hedge, field, or other place out of doors, in numerous chillers. Each individual is granulated, fomething like a strawberry; whence the name.


TAB. CCLVII.

LYCOPERDON fuliginosum.

On the sides of floating deals in the Thames, at Battersea, we may frequently find this sooty production. It appears to confill of branching threads affixed to the deal, and holding a dense mass of sooty powder. Over the whole is a thin deciduous pellicle.


TAB. CCLVIII.

SPHÆROCARPUS sessilis. Bull. 417. fig. 5.

I have met with this in Kensington-gardens; it differs from Trichia turbinata in having a dark and more fragile outside.
