THIS we also believe a variety of the same specics. It is apt to throw the little feeds into a moniliformappearance. It is sometimes gray as well as greenish: Micheli says it is found only on rotten apples.

FOUND sometimes on old stumps of trees, decaying hay, Sec. The stipes is thickest at the base; head irregularly powdery, and of a rusty brown.

Monila rosea. Batsch. tab. 12. fig. 58.

MOST common on the decayed kernels of nuts, within the shell, though more often on other rotting substances. The Rev. Mr. Alderson sent me some on rotten wood. The Rev. Hugh Davies sent me some which he said he found on Tuber solidum. It is mostly in dense patches, composed of numerous fibres more or less distinct, and round particles of farinaceous powder of a rose colour.

WE have only found this in the hollow of the great oak on Hainault Forest called Fairlop, where it is very abundant. It is composed of branched filaments with numerous ovate, powdery heads in little bundles, mostly of a deep orange colour.

Bull. 504. 1.

THIS differs from the last in having round and lighter-coloured particles composing the heads. It is found on rotten Boleti.

DIFFERS from M. glaucus, fig. 9. in being in much more round fasciculi. I believe, however, these are only varieties of each other, and are the admired blue mould in rotten cheese, &c.
