Thomas G. Lea was one of the first to study the fungi of Ohio 

 commencing in the early thirties, and his list published in 1849 

 laid the foundation for subsequent work carried on by Mr. Mor- 

 gan and others. Many of Lea's specimens were sent direct to 

 r>erkeley and the types of several new species together with other 

 material are preserved at Kew. Sullivant also collected some 

 material in the central portion of the state and some of this was 

 described by Montagne, whose types are to be sought at Paris. 

 Later Mr. Morgan has given extensive attention to the various 

 groups of the higher fungi as well as to the Myxomycetes, and 

 his publications include many new species as well as careful de- 

 scriptions of hundreds of old ones most of which have been pub- 

 lished in the Journal of the Cincinnati Society of Natural History. 

 In the case of the more fleshy fungi it is Mr. Morgan's prac- 

 tice to preserve only a painting. His collection contains many 

 hundreds of these all made by the hand of Mrs, Morgan who 

 has aided in bringing together a most valuable collection. Mr. 

 Morgan's work, which has covered nearly every group except 

 parasitic forms, has been ably supplemented on the parasitic side 

 by Professor Kellerman who has collected more extensively in 

 these groups. Other collections, particularly of parasitic species, 

 have been made in the state by A. D. Selby, F. L. Stevens, Miss 

 Detmers, J. F. James and others. More recently Mr. C. G. Lloyd, 

 of Cincinnati, has established a very extensive private collection 

 and library and has devoted a large amount of time to the pro- 

 duction of photogravures and photographs of the larger fungi, and 

 to the publication of notes on various species and compiled de- 

 scriptions which he has distributed widely and with a generous 

 hand. Besides these publications which contain as much of gen- 

 eral as local value, and various publications bearing on economic 

 species emanating from the experiment station, the following 

 papers relate to Ohio fungi directly : 



Detmers. A preliminary List of the Rusts of Ohio. Bull. 

 Ohio Agric. Exp. Sta. , 5: 133-140. 1893.

Ohio. Bull. Ohio Agric. Exp Sta (Tech. Ser.), i: 171- 180.
