Nebraska. 



In nearly every state the systematic effort in the direction of 

 mycological exploration traces its origin to a one or two men; in no 

 state is this more marked than in Nebraska where the stimulus has 

 come from Professor Bessey. Through him and his students of 

 the Botanical Seminar of the State University of Nebraska a sys- 

 tematic exploration of the entire plant life of the state has been 

 undertaken and the publication of an elaborate state flora has been 

 commenced. The result has been that while in 1884 scarcely 

 anything was known of the mycological flora of the state, to-day 

 it is the best known of any with the exception of New York and 

 New Jersey. Messrs. Webber, Williams, Woods, Shear, J. G. 

 Smith, Bell, Pound, and Clements have been the assistants who 

 have contributed chiefly to this result from the mycological side. 

 The extensive collections are largely in the University of Nebraska 

 at Lincoln where a valuable series of exsiccati may also be found. 



Besides considerable literature on economic species, the follow- 

 ing local literature may be cited:
