A PROVISIONAL LIST OF PARASITIC FUNGI IN 



WISCONSIN. 



J. J. Davis. 



The first enumeration of Fungi of Wisconsin of which I have 

 knowledge, was published in the Report of the Geological Sur- 

 vey of Wisconsin 1873-0. It was prepared by A. F. Bundy, 

 il. D., and about thirty of the species there listed are parasitic 

 As Dr. Bundy's collections were afterwards destroyed by fire 

 this list has not been taken into account in subsequent enum- 

 erations. In the Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of 

 Science, Arts and Letters, vol. .6, 106-144 (1884) a Prelim- 

 inary List of Parasitic Fungi of Wisconsin appeared which was 

 prepared by William Trelease, S. D., at that time Professor of 

 Botany in the University of Wisconsin. Lists supplementary 

 to this, prepared by the writer, were published through the same 

 medium in vols. 9, 153-188 (1893) 11, ,T65-17S (1897) 

 H, 83-106 (1903) and 16, 739~772 (1909). A demand hav- 

 ing arisen for the replacement of these lists, some of which are 

 now unobtainable, by a single list with a single host index, 

 •which should embody the present knowledge of the parasitic 

 fungus flora of the state, the following enumeration has been 

 made. It is a compilation of the Preliminary List of Dr. Tre- 

 lease and the lists supplementary thereto with some changes 

 that seem necessary to brine: it more nearlv into accord with 

 present knowledge and practise. The opportunity lias been 

 used for additions founded upon material collected since the 

 last supplementary list was issued. 



The specimens upon which the previous lists were founded 

 are in part in the herbarium of Dr. Trelease at the Missouri
