Notes. 



Murrill regards the name Cantharellus as a variant in 

 spelling of Chanterel and discusses the genus under the latter 

 name (N. Am. Flora 9^:167). He describes C. umbonatus, C. 

 aurantiacus and C. cibarius respectively as Chanterel muscoides 

 (Wulf.) ]\Iurrill, Chanterel alectorolophoides (Schaeff.) Mur- 

 rill, and Chanterel Chanterellus (L.) Murrill. 



Plants referred by Hard to C. brevipes Peck were prob- 

 ably young specimens of C. floccosus. 



Fries, followed by Saccardo, placed C. cinnabarinus in 

 the genus Hygrophorus. American writers regard this species 

 as a good Cantharellus. 



NYCTALIS FR. 



Pileus white to brownish, usually powdered with brownish, 

 stellate conidia ; lamellae distant ; plants on decaying 

 Agarics. S. 501; N. A. F. 9^:166; H. 204; St. 2:138. 



N. asterophora Fr. 

 This species is published in the North American Flora as 



Asterophora clavus (Schaeff) ]\lurrill. 



HELIOMYCES LEV. 



^Marasmius nigripes (Sch.) Fr. is placed in this genus by 

 ^Morgan fjour. ]\Iyc. 12:93). It will be easily recognized by 

 the thin, white pileus and the black stipe which has a white 

 pruinose covering. In dried specimens the stipe becomes pale 

 brownish. S. 534; M. 193; H. 152.
