the writer found a specimeu of the Parasol Mushroom growing in a 

 well cultivated garden during the ijast season. 



Marasmius nigripes Schw. A very small fungus growing on decaying 

 spruce needles, is remarkable for the shape of its spores whicU are 

 strongly nodulose or stellate. Shade of evergeeus, College campus. 



Hygrophorous miniatus sphagnophilus Tk. This new variety' of the 

 Red-lead Hygrophorous was found quite plentifully on an island in 

 Pleasant Lake. Its deep vermilion colors make it very noticeable. July. 



Hygrophorous marginatus Pk. Is an attractive species of a brilliant 

 orange with margined gills of the same color. A few specimens were 

 found in moist woods at Pleasant Lake. July. 



Hygrophorous unguinosus Fr. A single specimen of this fungus was 



found at IMeasant Lake in moist woods. It is an unattractive species of 



a smoky brown color with viscid cap and stem peculiarly swollen in 



.the middle. It does not seem to have been recorded in this country 



before. 



Tricholoma fuligineum Pk. Two specimens of this rare fungus were 

 collected in mixed pine woods at Greenville, July 12. The specimens 

 emitted a strong moldy odor while the lamelh^ became black in dr^dng. 



Tricholoma tricolor Pk. Is a large handsome fungus with a mixture 

 of red and yellow tints on the cap and yellow gills that assume a dark 

 reddish brown on drying. One specimen was found at Leslie and another 

 was brought from the V. P. Experiment Station bj' Professor Wheelej". 



Clitocybe albissima Pk. Fine specimens of this fungus were found 

 growing in the form of a large ring near Greenville, by Mr. Barlow, and 

 a photograph secured. 



Cantharellus cinnabarinus Fr. An unusual form of this attractive 

 and somewhat rare fungus was found at IMeasaut Lake. The thick gills 

 were connected by short ridges and were margined with yellow, while 

 the stem was tinted with the same color. 



Russula vesca Fr. A single specimen of dark color was found at Pleas- 

 ant Lake. 



Pluteus leoninus Pers. Two specimens of this rather uncommon 

 species were collected near the Agricultural College in September. 



Coprinus quadrifidus Pk. This species somewhat resembles the 

 shaggy mane mushroom, but is smaller and was found growing on and 

 near decaying wood. Kent Co. July. 



Polyporus umbel latus Fr. A well developed specimen of this branch- 

 ing f)olyporus was collected at the roots of a tree near Leslie in July. It 

 was at first mistaken for a group of small gill fungi. 



Boletus chrysenteron albocarneum Pk. A few si)ecimens of this new 

 variety were found growing on decaying pine stumps at Greenville. 



Boletus vermiculosus Pk. Rich woods. Leslie. 



Boletus frostii Russell. This fungus is very striking on account of 

 its bright red cap and stem the latter elegantly reticulated with ridges, 

 edged with yellow. The caps of those found were very viscid, a character 

 not mentioned in descriptions. Professor Peck to whom specimens 

 were sent states that B. alveolatus Frost is probably the same thing. 

 Found near Leslie and Michigan Agricultural College. 



Boletus mutabilis Morgan. Is a large brown species in which the 

 flesh rapidly changes to blue when cut or bruised. Specimens were col- 

 lected at Pleasant Lake.
