inclined, however, to think the Colorado plant is merely a form; 

 at least it is not Clavaria hotrytoides Pk. (A^. Y. State Mus. Bull., 

 94: 49. 1905.) 



Clavaria corniculata Fr. (C. muscoides L.) Frequent. 

 Tolland. Under conifers. 



Clavaria cristata Fr. Frequent, Tolland. Under pines, 



Clavaria flava Fr. Occasionally abundant, Leal and Tol- 

 land. Under pines. Spores 10-14 x 3.5-4.5 jjl, shghtly yellowish, 

 or subhyaline in microscope, the spore wall practically smooth 

 under very high magnification. 



Clavaria fumosa Fr. Rare. Leal, Tolland. 



On moss and humus under spruce and fir. The color is 

 smoky-brown with tint of purple. It forms dense clusters of 

 usually simple clubs 5-8 cm. high, 2-5 mm. thick; the hymen- 

 ium is provided with cylindrical hyaline cystidia; spores oblong, 

 9-10 X 5 fx hyaline. 



Clavaria ligula Fr. Uncommon. Tolland. Under pines. 



Clavaria pistillaris Fr. forma truncata. (See Atkinson, 

 Mushrooms, p. 203- 1900, and E. T. Harper, Mycologia, V. 263. 

 1913.) Typical plants occur also. Infrequent. Tolland, Leal. 

 Under pines. 



Clavaria pyxidata Fr. Infrequent. Leal. On poplar log. 



Agaricaceae 



Amanita muscaria Fr. Infrequent. Tolland. 



In groves of pine and poplar. American authors nearly 

 always include ''red" in giving the colors of the pileus, but no 

 one, to my knowledge, has clearly stated that the brilliant-red 

 European color form had been observed in this country. 



I saw this form in Sweden, but until I came across the col- 

 lection at Tolland, assumed that it did not occur in the United 

 States. These specimens had a uniform "scarlet" to "scarlet- 

 red" (Ridg.) pileus, just like those of Europe; the volva was 

 "light-buff" to " naples-yellow " (Ridg.) and the thick outer 

 edge of the annulus was also decorated by " naples-yellow " 

 floccose tufts which had been torn from the volva. The spores 

 measure 9-12 x 6-8 (9) ^u, with a very large oil globule.
