7/10/91.
In my letter by last week's mail,1 dear Prof Saccardo, I forgot to mention, that I regard many of the Agarics and other fungs here as introduced 30 and 40 years ago I did not observe several of them. Nothing would be more likely than fungus-spores being carried by emballage. In the same manner mosses have immigrated here to my own knowledge, for instance Bryum argenteum, now common, but not many years ago.
With regardful remembrance your
Ferd. von Mueller.
Bryum argenteum
