Abstract

Of the Agarics which may be gathered in Tasmania
we have but a poor record. The reason is not
far to seek ; they are incapable of satisfactory preservation.
The softness of their structure causes such a
distortion in drying that means of critical comparison
are lost. Certainly they may be preserved in spirits or
formaline, but then the colour will go, and colour in
this group of plants is of first importance. The only
satisfactory way to proceed is to make a faithful watercolour
copy, also accurate notes of all features, and
trust that some expert may recognise and name them.
The following four species may certainly be
added, Collybia protracta, Fr.; Collybia butyracea, Bull,; Flammula prasine, C. et M.; Pholiota adipose, Fr. Also listed here are other Hymenomycetous Fungi not hitherto recorded as Tasmanian.
