FUNGI 



1978. BuLLER, A. H. R. Three new British Coprini. Trans. British Mycol. Soc. 6: 363- 

 365. 1920. — Coprinus echinosporus Buller is described as a new species and C. bisporus 

 Lange and C. curtus Kalchbr. are described as new to England. — W. B. McDougall. 



1979. Clinton, George P. Moldy unsalted butter. Connecticut [New Haven] Agric. 

 Exp. Sta. Bull. 222. 4OO-404. 1920.— The following fungi were found on butter samples: 

 Mucor sp., Alternaria sp., Penicillium roquiforti, Oidium lactis, Epicoccum sp. Brief refer- 

 ence to the literature is given. — Henry Dorsey. 



1980. CoKER, W. C. Notes on the lower Basidiomycetes of North Carolina. Jour. Elisha 

 Mitchell Sci. Soc. 35: 113-182. PL 23 (in color) and 30-67. 1920.— Author treats three 

 species of Gymnosporangium, one of Auricularia, one of Saccoblastia, two of Platygloea, 

 three of Septobasidium, one of Sirobasidium, and species of Exidia, Naematelia, Tremella, 

 Tremellodon, Tremellodendron, Eichleriella, Sebacina, Dacryomyces, Dacryomitra, Dacryop- 

 sis, Guepinia, Ditiola, and Calocera. Of these, those reported as new are: Saccoblastia 

 ovispora var. caroliniana, Platygloea caroliniana, Platygloea Lagerstroemiae, Exidia Beards- 

 leei Lloyd, Naematelia quercina, Tremella aspera, T. carneoalba, T. subanomala, Dacryomyces 

 Ellisii, D. pallidus, D. Juscominus, Dacryopsis ceracea, Ditiola albizziae, Calocera cornea var. 

 minima. Exidia pedunculata B. & C. is shown to be a Dacryomyces. Of the genera treated, 

 Saccoblastia, Platygloea, and Sirobasidium have not been reported before from North 

 America. — W. C. Coker. 



1981. CoKER, W. C, AND J. N. Couch. A new species of Achlya. Jour. Elisha Mitchell 

 Sci. Soc. 36: 100-101. 1920.— Achlya Orion is described. It is nearest apparently to A. 

 polyandra Hildb. — W. C. Coker. 



1982. Elliott, Jessie S. Batliss. On the formation of conidia and the growth of the 

 stroma of Daldinia concentrica. Trans. British Mycol. Soc. 6:269-273. PL 6. 1920.— 

 Observations and cultural experiments covering more than five years show that the conidial 

 form of Daldinia concentrica is a Botrytis and is common on ash logs. The zoning so char- 

 acteristic of the perithecial stroma is due to the formation of successive layers of perithecia. 

 The formation of perithecia begins when the stroma is only 3 or 4 mm. in diameter but only 

 those of the last formed zone reach maturity. Spore discharge from mature perithecia con- 

 tinues for several weeks, the asci coming up to the orifice one at a time and discharging their 

 spores. — W. B. McDougall. 



1983. Elliott, Jessie S. Batliss. Studies in Discomycetes II. Trans. British Mycol, 

 Soc. 6: 263-268. PL 6. 1920.— In addition to descriptions of five other species and varie- 

 ties Phoma conicola and Mollisia Populi are described as new. — W. B. McDougall. 



1984. Elliott, W. T., and Jessie S. Elliott. The sequence of fungi and Mycetozoa. 

 Jour. Botany 58: 273-274. 1920.— An oak tree blown down by a gale in 1912 was observed to 

 note the sequence of fungi growing upon it. The fungi were as follows, appearing in the order 

 given: Bulgaria polymorpha, Coryne sarcoides, Stereumhirsutum, P anus sty pticus, Hypholoma 

 fascicularis, Phlebia merismoides, Hypholoma sublateritium, Pluteus cervinus. The slime 

 mould Physarum nutans appeared in 1919, followed by Stemonitis fusca. The mycetozoa 

 occupied the place formerly occupied by Bulgaria polymorpha and Coryne sarcoides, which 

 disappeared in 1916 and 1917 respectively. — K. M. Wiegand.
