1923] The Gasteromycetes of North Carolina 235 



other ways, and treated by Fischer in the Hystercbngiacem (1. c, Pflan- 

 zenfamilien, p. 307), is known only from the United States and Can- 

 ada (see also Lloyd, Known Phalloids, p. 71, figs. 93 and 94). 



As the number of our species of Phalloids is small, we key all of 

 them here under the family, and for the convenience of students we 

 include all described species from the United States.
