DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES 
Flammula anepsia Mont.) Sacc. Syil. Fung. 5: 812. 1887. (Agaricus anepsius Mont. 
Syll. Crypt. 118. 1856.) When examining the type of this species at Paris, I remarked 
that it was about the shape of G. carbonarius and was probably that species. ‘The spores, 
however, are described as 10 » long, while those of G. carbonarius are usually somewhat smaller. 
Flammula Braendlei Peck, Bull. Torrey Club 31: 180. 1904. Described from Washing- 
ton, D.C. This species is to be carefully compared with G. pulchrifolia and Pholiota aeruginosa. 
Flammula flavida (Schaeff.) Quél. Champ. Jura Vosg. 98. 1872. (Agaricus flavidus 
Schaeff. Fung. Bavar. 4: Ind. 17. 1774.) Reported from many parts of the United States, 
but the specimens I have seen so named do not at all correspond with the original figures by 
Schaeffer or with specimens sent from Sweden by Romell. See G. flavidellus. 
Flammula fusa (Batsch) Gill. Champ. Fr. 535. 1876. (Agaricus fusus Batsch, Elench. 
Fung. Contin. 2: 13. 1789.) Reported from Iowa by Macbride and from Ohio by Hard. 
Specimens so named by Hard are to be found at Albany. They appear quite distinct, but I 
have not been able to compare them with specimens just received from Romell.
