Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of British Fungology Supplement Thirty years have passed since the first edition of the Outlines of British Fungoloyy was published. During this time the species of fungi known to be British have more than doubled in number. Not only new species, but many new genera of fungi have been added to the British lists. Mr. Berkeley, in the first edition of this work, was only able to partially avail himself of Fries writings. In 1876 Fries published his latest work on the higher fungi, or Hymenomyeetes, under the name of Hijmeiiomycetes Eu 7 opcei sive Epicriseos Sijstematis Mycoloyici. In that work Fries reviewed the whole family, added several new sub-genera to the genus Agaricus as well as new genera elsewhere, and abolished as spurious several genera originally established, and incorporated by Mr. Berkeley in his Outlines. The additions and alterations being so extensive, the publishers determined upon the issue of a new edition, which should bring the record of the larger fungi up to the present state of knowledge, and the first idea was to publish a supplement with the names and descriptions of the new British species.
