Poria contigua Fr. 

 Decaying trunks of willows. Catskill. July. 



Hydnum rimulosum n. sp. 



Resupinate, thin, inseparable from the matrix, orbicular and 2 to 3 lines 

 broad or confluent in larger irregular patches, the hymenium minutely 

 rimose, pale ochracous, the margin floccose-tomentose, white; aculei 

 short, terete, crowded, subacute, ochraceous, often white and slightly 

 ciliate at the apex; spores minute, elliptical, .00016 to .0002 in. long, 

 •00008 to .00012 broad. 



Dead bark of alder, Alnus hicana. Karner. October. 



This species is apparently related to H. ciliolatum.^ H. hypoleiuum and 

 H. lami/iifenim, but it may be separated from them by its terete teeth 

 and its nmulose ochraceous hymenium. 



Hymenochaete simulans {B. 6^ C.) 



Dead bark of hophornbeam, Ostrya Virg'mica. Alcove, Albany 

 county. November. C. L. Shear. Our specimens agree fully with the 

 specimens of Corticium simulans B. & C. in Ravenel's Exsiccati, Vol. v, 

 number 25. In both, colored setse are present. The species should 

 therefore be referred to the genus Hymenochaste. Colored setae are also 

 present in the specimens of Corticium simulans as represented in Thu- 

 men's Mycotheca Universalis, number 512, but in these they are less 

 numerous than in the others. 



Corticium lactescens Berk. 



Decorticated wood of willow. Ithaca Flats. March. Prof. G. F.

Coniophora Eliisii Cke. 



Decaying wood of pine. Karner. October. 



This fungus was originally published under the name Hyt7ienochcRte 

 Eliisii B. & Cke, but was afterwards transferred to the genus Coniophora. 



Hymenula Galii //. sp. 



Receptacle minute, .014 to .02 in. broad, orbicular oblong or elliptical, 

 rarely confluent and irregular, hypophyllous, subgelatinous, pallid becom- 

 ing blackish with age and in drying, surrounded by an elevated blackish 

 line; spores minute, cylindrical, .00016 to .00024 in. long, supported by 

 much longer slender sporophores.
