Description
Mycological studies of Entoloma jubatum (here Agaricus entoloma jubatus, Fr.) the Sepia pinkgill and Porpolomopsis calyptriformis (here Hygrophorus calyptraeformis) the Pink waxcap. Seven figures, including sections and magnified details of spores.
Plate at pp.246/247 of the paper ‘New and rare Herefordshire and British Hymenomycetous fungi’, by Worthington G. Smith, Transactions of the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club, 1868 (Times Office, Hereford, 1869) pp.245-246.
The accompanying text states that the Entoloma was ‘found…growing in great abundance on Merry-hill Common, and in and near Haywood Forest, near Hereford; it grew in dense clusters, some of them taking a circular form.’ The Porpolomopsis is described as a ‘distinct and beautiful species [that] occurred in abundance in Holm Lacey Park last autumn; where attention was drawn to it and the first specimens gathered by J. Griffith Morris Esq. It grew amongst furze and in open places bordering the plantations.’
