DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES 
Crepidotus alveolus (Lasch) P. Karst. Bidr. Finl. Nat. Folk 32: 413. 1879. (Agaricus 
alveolus Lasch, Linnaea 4: 547. 1829.) Described from specimens collected on beech trunks 
in Germany. Reported from Wright’s collections in Cuba, which apparently represent C. 
musaecola, and from Duss’ collections in Guadeloupe. In referring specimens from St. Vincent, 
West Indies, to C. alveolus in 1892, Massee remarks that they are larger and more crisped and 
lobed than in the European form, but that there exists no good specific or even varietal dis- 
tinction between the two forms. 
Crepidotus haustellaris (Fries) P. Karst. Bidr. Finl, Nat. Folk 32:415. 1879. (Agaricus 
haustellaris Fries, Obs. Myc. 2: 232. 1818.) Doubtfully reported by Peck from New York.
