2. Cantharellus muscigenus Fr. 



We have nut found this plant and take the description from Murrill 

 (N. Am. Flora 9". 165. 1910, as Dictyolus). It is easily distin- 

 guished from C. relirwjus hy the lateral stalk, darker color, glabrous 

 cap and less delicate substance. For good illustrations see Bulliard, 

 PI. 498, fig. 2, and Cook, Illustrations of British Fungi PI. 1115 

 (1065). 



^'Pileus submend)ranaccous, laterally stipitate, spatulate, 1-2.5 cm. 

 broad ; surface glabrous, zonatc, fuscous to whitish cinereous ; margin 

 entire to undulate or lobed ; lamellae distant, dichotomous, concolor- 

 ous; spores ellipsoid, smooth, hyaline, 10-12 x 6-9/a; stipe short, con- 

 colorous or slightly darker, villose at the base." 



Middle district on mosses. Schweinitz. 



3. Cantharellus infundibuliformis (Scop.) Fr. 



Gregarious or cespitose. Cap. 2-3.3 cm. broad, irregular, deeply 

 depressed in center and at times with a hole in the center leading 

 down into the hollow stem; margin undulate, broadly drooping or 

 almost plane ; surface peculiar, roughened by pits, channels and 

 ridges, the latter terminating in small, pointed squamules which are 

 much more numerous towards the margin; color varying from a 

 reddish ochraceous orange, near capucine orange, to a pallid brown. 

 Flesh toughish, fleshy, tinted like the cap, only 1-1.5 mm. thick, al- 

 most tasteless and quite odorless. 



Gills distant, connected by large, irregular veins, a few forking, 

 the wider ones about 2.5 mm. broad, with narrower ones between, 

 the edges fairly sharp for a cantharellus, especially in fully nuiture 

 ])lants; color varying from a dull salmon, exactly saluiou-bufF of 

 Kidgway at maturity, to ashy vinaceous. 



Stem 2-4.5 cm. long, 3-4 mm. thick in center, smooth, clear orange 

 color, mufli more brightly colored than the other parts usually, 

 straight or crooked and irregularly, flattened, jyinched or channeled, 

 quite hollow from top to bottom, the cap pierced and opening info this 

 hollow in only two of our collections, often so in others. 



Spores burt'y-salnion, elliptic, smooth, 5.5-8.5 x 8-11.8/i.
