Extract

The Peziza œruginosa is a fungus belonging to the family Ascomycetes, and order Elvellaceæ. Although the fructification is not often met with, the plant itself is by no means rare, growing on dead wood, chiefly of the oak, birch, and ash. It has an intense green colour, and tinges the wood on which it grows to a considerable depth.

page no 439 note * In order to determine with certainty the connection between the green wood and the Peziza, Mr M'Nab of the Botanic Garden exposed pieces of the wood, which showed no trace of the fructification, to heat and moisture, when large crops of the fungus were obtained.
