On Argythamnia mercurialina Muell. Caddo, In- 
dian Territory (Oklahoma), June 22, 1891. Charles S. Sheldon. 
Related to Cercospora crotonifoliae Cooke, which is 
epiphyllous and has cylindrical spores. 
Gymnopilus subviridis Murrill, sp. nov. 
Pileus convex to nearly plane, circular, 8-10 cm broad; surface 
dry, dull green with a bluish green bloom, becoming glabrous with 
age; margin very involute, undulate, not at ail appendiculate; con- 
text greenish yellow with an agreeable odor; lamellae deeply emar- 
ginate, broad, inserted, distant, brownish green, uneven on the 
edges; spores broadly ovoid to subglobose, ferruginous, asperulate, 
about 5 by 3.5-4 mw; stipe long, slender, flexuous, largest at the mid- 
dle, concolorous, staining brownish, fleshy-fibrous, greenish within, 
reaching 10-15 cm in length and I cm in thickness. 
Type collected on a decayed fir stump at Olympia, Wash., No- 
vember 27, 1914, by Miss M, McKenny (Herb. N. Y. State Mu- 
seum). This is an interesting addition to the large number of spe- 
cies of this genus from the Pacific coast. It may readily be recog- 
nized by its green color. Two other species, G. subflavidus 
Murrill and G. viridans Murrill, become green spotted when 
handled, but they are entirely different from Miss McKenny’s plant. 
For the benefit of those using Saccardo’s nomenclature, this species 
is recombined as Flammula subviridis Murrill.
