Abstract: In a classification purely on the colour basis, we are obliged to place together such diverse black-spored genera as Coprinus, Anthraco- phylluni, and Gomphidius. Coprinus is a highly specialised genus, the fruit-bodies of which are fragile and often " deliquescent." On the other hand, the fruit-bodies of Anthracophyllum are tough and possess leathery or horny gills.^T his genus is evidently much more closely related to the white-spored Xerotus, Lentinus, and Marasmius than to Coprinus.
