34 JOUKNAL OF THE MiTCHELL SoCIETY [OctobeV 



3. Craterellus roseus Fr. 



This species is known only from the original collection by Schwein- 

 itz, probably near Salem. The description below is taken from Burt, 

 (Ann. Mo. Bot. Garden 1: 333. 1914) : 



"Fructifications solitary, somewhat fleshy ; pileus inf undibuliform, 

 somewhat strigose, pallid rose, the margin lobed and inflexed; stem 

 apparently stuffed, attenuated downward, white ; hymenium some- 

 what rugose, white. 



"In m'osses, especially in proximity to Kalmui. Xorth Carolina. 



"Specimens of this species have the habit of Cantharellus cibarius 

 but are thinner. Fries received a specimen of Craterellus roseus 

 from Schweinitz and expressed the opinion in 'Elenchus' that the 

 species is good. I have seen no specimens of C. roseus and base the 

 above on the original description and the comments by Schweinitz 

 and Fries." 



4. Craterellus cornucopioides L. 



Plates 1 and 16. 



Plants up to 12 cm. tall and 5.5 cm. broad, shaped like a long 

 cornucopia and hollow to the base, the margin broadly drooping or 

 rarely plane, wavy, upper and inner surface squamulose-fibrous, most 

 so near the margin, color exactly drab to light drab of Ridgway, 

 blackening on drying. Flesh very thin, tough and elastic, color of 

 surface, odor distinctly musty-fragrant, faintly like that of Can- 

 tharellus cibarius, taste slight, similar. 



Spore surface glaucous, fleshy-drab color, not at all veined, but 

 somewhat channeled and pitted or quite smooth in places, extending 

 half way down the stem, or farther. 



Stem fading into the cap, grayish drab, the base lighter and to- 

 mentose, not ochraceous below the hymenium, hollowed to the base, 

 usually bent and pinched. 



Spores a distinct salmon-pink color, elliptic, smooth, some bent, 

 5.9-Y.4 X 10.8-13^. 



When rubbed and in age all parts become darker and sometimes 

 quite black in places, but when perfectly fresh the colors are lighter 

 than usually described. Descriptions of the spores as white or hya-
