DOUBTFUL SPECIES 
Chanterel brevipes Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 33: 21. p/. 1, f. 18-20. 1880. 
Described from specimens collected in woods near Ballston, New York, and found again at 
North Elba, New York, eighteen years later. It does not appear to be sufficiently distinct 
from C. floccosus. 
Chanterel lignatilis Berk. & Curt. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. III. 4: 294, 1859. Described 
from specimens collected by Ravenel on rotten trunks in South Carolina. Type specimens 
are to be found in the Farlow Herbarium, but our knowledge of the species is still 
unsatisfactory. 
7. POLYOZELLUS Murrill, gen. nov. 
Hymenophore cespitose-multiplex, fleshy, putrescent; hymenium plicate, veil none: 
spores hyaline: stipe short, thick. 
Type species, Chanterel multiplex Underw. 
1. Polyozellus multiplex (Underw.) Murrill. 
Chanterel multiplex Underw. Bull. Torrey Club 26: 254. 1899. 
Hymenophore large, irregular, cespitose-multiplex, 12-20 cm. high; pilei compound, 
more or less flabelliform, 3-5 & 3-5 X 0.5~-1 cm.; surface dull-purple or purplish lead-colored, 
becoming blackish on drying; margin thin, light-colored, irregular or lobed: context pur- 
ple, tender, brittle, of mild taste and aromatic odor; hymenium radiately venulose-retic- 
ulate with irregular cross veinlets, cinereous in herbarium specimens; spores hyaline, 
5-6 in diameter: stipe thick, compact, often deeply grooved above, subconcolorous, black- 
ening on drying, 2-4 cm. long. 
TYPE LOCALITY: Mt. Desert, Maine. 
HABITAT: Dense spruce and fir woods, probably attached to buried wood. 
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from two collections at the type locality. 
ILLUSTRATION: Bull. Torrey Club 26: 254. 1899. 
DOUBTFUL SPECIES 
Neurophyllum ochraceum Pat. in Duss, Enum. Champ. Guad. 38. 1903. (Chanterel 
ochvaceus (Pat.) Sacc. & D. Sacc. in Sace. Syll. Fung. 17: 36. 1905.) This species was 
described from specimens collected by Pére Duss on dead wood in woods in Guadeloupe. 
If incorporated into the above genus, the generic description would have to be somewhat 
modified. The species is characterized as follows: 
Pileus rigid, ligneous, flabellate, applanate, convolute, incisely lobed, more or less 
imbricate ; lobes 8-12 cm. long, ochraceous-rufescent, velutinous, smooth or undulate- 
tuberculate; margin rounded, thin, straight or inflexed: hymenium of obtuse veins, 
simple or branched, long-decurrent, crowded, narrow: spores ochraceous, ovoid, verrucose, 
16-20 X 6-10; cystidia none: stipe hard, cylindric below, canaliculate above, 3-5 cm. 
long, the entire sporophyte 10-15 cm. high.
