Heliomyces? Plunuerit Lév. Ann. Sci. Nat. III. 2: 178. 1844. Based on Plumier’s 
pl. 168, drawn from a West Indian plant. It is apparently near Marasmius Berterot. 
Marasmius albomarginatus Clements, Bot. Surv. Nebr. 3: 20. 1894. The single type 
specimen examined seems to be a small species of Mycena.
