CLAVARIA polymorpha.
Often to be seen on decaying elm leaves in Kensington Gardens. The bas is some what brown, and harder than the rest of the plant, which is of a waxy-texture, differing much in shape, and generally hollow.

CLAVARIA herculanea. Bull. 244. With. ed. 3,. 362.
Brought me from Windsor Forest, by Mr. Jenkins of Eton. It is certainly a very distinct species from those joined with it by authors as varieties. The substance within is beautifully soft and cottony; the outside, of a dull orange colour.

CLAVARIA coralloides. Huds. 640. With. ed. 3. 367.
Very common fungus. It is equally variable in form and colour, but mostly white. The substance is brittle, dense, nearly solid. The taste is agreeable, resembling that of the common Mushroom, Agaricus campestris. Found in great plenty in the shrubbery at Wanstead House, Essex, by Mr. B. M. Forster.
