Fig. specimens: Hjallese, on sticks and stumps of Corylus, 

 Oct. 1895. (Also found at Revninge, on Corylus). 



[Probably the pretty little Collybia stipitaria (Studies III pag. 

 19) has its proper place here. Marasmius epichloe, M. caulici- 

 nalis (Bull.) and M. scabellns (Alb. at Schw.) to my mind are all 

 synonymous.] 



12. M. ramealis (Bull.) 



Spores 8—9 x 2 x / 2 (or 8V 2 x 3 VJ < u > lanceolate-ellipsoid. Cystidia 

 sackshaped with short hairlike excrescences, small. 



Fig. specimens: Hjallese, on twigs of Corylus, gregarious, Nov. 

 189(3. Very common on twigs, sticks and dead herbaceous stems, 

 often densely crowded. — Cooke erroneously figures and descri- 

 bes the spores as only 4x2 u (loc. cit. tab. 1127 B.). 



[M. amadelphus (Bull.). On twigs of Cratægus I have met a 

 form with more saturately coloured (dingy incarnate-fulvous) 

 cap which was very much like the plant figured by Bulliahd 

 (550 III) as M. a. But as it did not differ in any other way 

 from M. ramealis, I do not regard it as a distinct species. The 

 M. amadelphus described and figured by Bresadola (loc. cit. 

 tab. 130 II) is also very much like mine, but has somewhat 

 larger spores. (10 — 12 u).] 



[M. candidus (Bolt.). In moist and shady places, amongst 

 grass (on dead tufts of grass, small twigs etc.) a little slender 

 form of M. ramealis is occasionally met with. The cap soon 

 becomes snow-white, the stem is almost glabrous, whitish. This 

 probably is M. candidus (Bolt.), but I am inclined to regard it 

 as an etiolated form of M. ramealis. The spores are somewhat 

 shorter (7V 2 x 3 l /i MX while Quélet has 16 u and Bataille 12— 

 14 x 5—6 u." But on Cooke's figure (loc. cit. tab. 1127 C), said 

 to be safter Bolton«, they are much smaller.] 



C. INSITITII (QUÉLET) 



a. ROTULÆ (Fr. ex parte). 



13. M. Rotula (Scop.) 



Spores 8—9 X3V2—4V2 u , pipshaped. Cystidia few in number, 

 inflated, apex somewhat granulate-warty. 



Fig. specimens: Allerup and Hjallese, on dead half-buried twigs 

 and thereabout, in copsewood, Oct. 1895. — Common. 



14. M. Bulliardi Quélet. 



Spores 8V2— 10 x 4V 4 — 41 A2 H, pipshaped. Cystidia as in no: 13. 



Fig. specimens: Ålykkeskov near Odense, on dead foliage 

 (under Fraxinus etc.) on boggy ground, Sept. 1904. Bather rare. 



The somewhat smaller and pale wood-coloured cap distinguishes 

 this species from no: 13. But the small branchlets with abor-
