 Menands. Albany co. September. The perithecia in our specimens 

 become black with age; the spores exude and form whitish masses.

Phyllosticta orbicula E. & E. 

 Living or languishing leaves of horse-radish, Radicula 

 armoracia (L.) Robins. Menands, Albany co. October. 



Pleurotus applicatus (Batsch) Fr. 



Decaying wood and bark. Old Forge, Herkimer co. C. H. 

 Peck. On beech bark. Vaughns, Washington co. S. II. Burn- 

 ham. Alcove, Albany co. C. L. Shear. 



Specimens of Pleurotus atropellitus Pk. were erro- 

 neously referred to Agaric us applicatus Batsch in the 

 22d Report of the Xew York State Cabinet, page 78. 



Pleurotus griseus Pk. 

 In the 44th Report of the Xew York State Museum, page 35 

 this mushroom was described under the name Pleurotus 

 atrocaer ulcus griseus. Having observed it for many 

 vears and having received specimens of it from correspondents 

 who collected it in widely separated localities, and finding it con- 

 stant in its characters, I am persuaded that it is worthy of specific 

 distinction. I have never seen specimens of it showing any blue 

 color nor even bluish tints. 



Polyporus arcularius (Batsch) Fr. 

 Decaying wood. Lyndonville, Orleans co. C. E. Fairman. 



Polyporus delectans Pk. 

 Decaying wood, \aughns, Washington co. October. S. H.

Polyporus trabeus Rostk. 

 Decaying wood of poplar. Gansevoort, Saratoga co. October. 

 Our specimens were found growing with Polyporus caesius 

 Fr. on the same prostrate trunk and in close proxinul> to it. 

 Thcv are nearly the '^ame size, but more glabrous and with no 

 bluish tint=^.
