REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IQI2 4S 
Ground. Near Minneapolis, Minn. May. Mrs M.’S. Whet- 
stone. Also Cedar Point, Ohio. July. C. K. Brain. 
The umbo in the dried specimens sometimes appears blackish. 
The tomentum of the lower part of the stem binds together par- 
ticles of earth and causes the stem to appear thickened at the 
base or deeply rooted in the ground. 
Pileus tenuis, campanulatus vel convexus, acute umbonatus, 
glaber, isabellinus vel subrufescens; lamellae tenues, subconfer- 
tae, anteriore latae, adnatae, incarnato-albidae; stipes tenax, soli- 
dus, intus albus, ad apicem pruinosus, basi tomentosus, extus 
cartilaginous ; sporae 6 x 4 pm. 
Pileus 1.2-3 cm latus; stipes 3-5 cm longus, 2-3 mm crassus. 
Monilia sidalceae 
Widely effused on the lower surface of the leaf, tufts at first 
white, then brownish; hyphae very short; spores oblong elliptic 
or globose, hyaline, 16-20 x 12-14 pw or 12-14 p broad. 
Living leaves of Sidalcea nervataA. Nels. Red Butte 
canyon, Utah. July. A. O. Garrett. 
Caespites late efiusi, hypophylli, albi, brunnescentes; hyphae 
brevissimae; sporae oblongae ellipsoideae vel globosae, hyalinae, 
16-20 x 12-14 p vel 12-14 p latae. 
Nolanea multiformis 
Pileus fleshy, thin, convex nearly plane or centrally depressed, 
fragile, glabrous or slightly fibrillose, brown or blackish brown, 
striatulate on the margin which becomes wavy split or irregular 
when old; lamellae thin, subdistant, broad, adnate, white becom- 
ing pink; stem equal, fragile, flexuous, glabrous or fibrillose. 
solid or hollow, white or brown; spores subglobose, angular, 
uninucleate, 10-12 x 8-10 p. 
Pileus 1-3 cm brvad; stem 1-2 cm long, 1-2 mm thick. 
Gregarious. Grassy ground. Brookline, Mass. September. 
=. Davis. 
This species is apparently allied to Nolanea aethiops Fr. 
from which it may be separated by the striatulate margin of the 
pileus, the absence of black dots or points from the top of the 
stem and by its more globose spores. In the dried specimens 
the pileus is often plicate. When fresh the stem is sometimes 
white both at the top and bottom but brown in the middle.
