24 Marasmius resinosus (Peck) Sacc. 
Syll., 5 :522. 1887. 
Ann.. Rep’t N. Y. State Mus., 24:88. 1872 (As Marasmius decur- 
rens Peck). 
N. Y. State Mus. Bul. 67, p.38. 1903 (As Marasmius resinosus 
nivens Peck). 
N. Y. State Mus. Bul. 94, p.40. 1905 (As MarasSmius resinosus 
candidissimus Peck). 
Pileus thin, convex, subcespitose, 8-13 mm broad; surface 
minutely tomentose, pure white, becoming yellowish when dry; 
lamellae arcuate-decurrent, interspaces rugose-reticulate, subdis- 
tant, narrow, tapering toward each end, white, the edges discolored; 
spores 6-7 by 4 p; stipe slender, firm, equal, white, surface minutely 
tomentose, 2.5—5 cm long, 1 mm thick. The stipe and lamellae are 
usually dotted with minute, resinous, granular particles. 
Upon vegetable debris upon ground. Common. 
The pure white color of the pileus is frequently obscured by the 
substratum within or upon which the plant grows, which sometimes 
gives it a grayish or brownish appearance. 
25 Marasmius salignus Peck 
Ann. Rep’t N. Y. State Mus., 35:135. 1884. 
Pileus submembranous, convex or plane, sometimes subumbili- 
cate, 4-10 mm broad; surface dry, glabrous or subpruinose, white, 
margin even; lamellae often joined at the base, rarely forking, 
adnate, subdistant, narrow, white; spores ovoid or subellipsoid, 
6-7 by 4 ; stipe slender, stuffed, reddish brown, slightly furfur- 
aceous or pruinose, 1.5—2.5 cm long, 1 mm thick. 
Upon the bark of trees. Not common. This species seems to be 
very closely related to M. candidus (Bolt.) Fr. Some of 
Peck’s collections might well pass for the plant figured by Bolton 
(Hist. Fung. pl. 39, fig. D.) 
26 Marasmius nigripes (Schw.) Fries 
Epicr. Myc. 383. 1838. 
Pileus membranous, 6-12 mm broad, campanulate, umbonate; 
surface white, pruinose, pellucid, margin striate; lamellae adnate, 
broad, white or pallid, becoming dark in dried plants; spores 
angular, 8-9 p; stipe insititious, slightly tapering downward, horny, 
blackish, white-pruinose, becoming brown in dried plants, 3.5-4 
cm long, I-2 mm thick.
