﻿324 Peck : New Species of Fungi 



Decaying wood of birch, Frenchman's Cove, Newfoundland. 

 August. Waghorne. 



A variable species apparently intermediate between Cantliarcllus 

 and Trogia. 



Naucoria platvsperm a. 



Pileus convex, becoming nearly plane, glabrous, slightly tinged 

 with ochraceous or reddish-yellow when young, soon whitish, the 

 margin at first adorned with vestiges of a white flocculent veil, 

 flesh white ; lamellae moderately close, slightly rounded behind, 

 pallid, becoming brownish ; stem equal, stuffed with a white pith, 

 slightly flocculent or furfuraceous above when young, whitish, the 

 mycelium sometimes forming white thread-like strands ; spores 



broadly elliptical, 15 a long, 12.5 fx broad. 



Pileus 2.5-3.5 cm. broad; stem 3.5-5 cm. long, 2-4 mm. 

 thick. 



On the ground, Compton, California. Professor A. J. Mc- 

 Clatchie. 



This species differs from N. pediades and .V. senriorhiadaris, to 

 which it is related, by its larger broader spores and paler color. 



Crepidotus puberulus. 



Pileus thin, reniform or suborbicular, nearly plane, minutely 

 pubescent, brown ; lamellae rather broad, ventricose, rusty-brown 

 when mature, whitish on the edge ; stem short, equal, curved, lat- 

 eral or eccentric, brown, with a thin suborbicular patch of white 



mycelium at the base; spores subelliptical, 9-10/; long, 5~ 6 ! 1 

 broad, 



Pileus 6-10 mm. broad ; stem 2-4 mm. long. 

 On decaying wood, Compton, California. March. McClatchie. 

 The species is related to C. liaustcllaris and C. tiliophilu 

 fering from the former by its darker brown color and its eq 



ual 



brownish stem, from the latter by its smaller size and darker and 

 more pubescent pileus, and from both by its spores. The pileus is 

 sometimes almost resupinate. The color of the mature lamellae 

 is nearly vandyke brown. The spores are generally uninucleate. 



Crepidotus sepiarius. 



Pileus thin, convex, subumbilicate, even, very minutely squam 11 " 

 lose, grayish-tawny ; lamellae adnexed, minutely crenulate on the
