DOUBTFUL SPECIES 
Hygrophorus aurantiaco-luteus Berk. & Curt. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. III. 4: 293. 1859. 
Described from specimens collected among mosses in Connecticut by Sprague. Peck omitted 
this species from his New York list because specimens so determined were doubtful. The 
types at Kew are fairly well preserved but are too small for satisfactory comparison, the 
pileus being only 3 mm. in diameter. 
Hygrophorus cerasinus (Berk.) Fries, Hymen. Eur. 410. 1874. (Agaricus cerasinus 
Berk. in Smith, Engl. Fl. 52:12. 1836.) Reported by Ellis from New Jersey, occurring on 
the ground in pine woods. These specimens were distributed by Ellis in his N. Am. Fungi 907. 
Hygrophorus haematocephalus Berk. & Curt. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. II. 12: 424. 1853. 
Described from specimens collected in pine woods in South Carolina. ‘The pileus is umbilicate, 
blood-red; lamellae adnate, yellow; stipe red, then yellow. The types at Kew are much like 
Chanterel cinnabarinus, but the lamellae are not so thick. There is also a resemblance to 
Hydrocybe laeta, but with such old and faded specimens it is difficult to make successful 
comparisons.
