Agaricus (Pleurotus) coociformis, Berk.; minutus, pileo primum pezizaeformi demum reflexo cervino dense piloso, stipite nullo, lamellis angustis pallide alutaceis setulosis. HAB . On decorticated wood, Bay of Islands, J.D.H. Pileus 1-2 lines broad, at first Pezizaeform, then reflected, thickly clothed with fawn-coloured hairs, somewhat grooved. Stem none. Gills narrow, setulose, pale tan-coloured. A very pretty and distinct little species, which may be compared with Montagne A. phalligerus, but the antheridia are less strongly developed, and, unless I am mistaken, the spores are white.
