REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IQI4 aS 
39 Marasmius olneyi Berk. & Curt. 
Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. III 4:295. 1859. 
Pileus membranous, convex, then plane or depressed, 8-10 mm 
broad; surface glabrous, dull-rufescent, margin striate at first, 
then radiately rugose; lamellae joined to a collar which may become 
free, subdistant, white, the edges slightly crenulate; spores 9Q—-II 
by 4-5 »; stipe pulverulent-tomentose, white, 3.5-4 cm long. 
Upon dead twigs. Not reported from New York. It is not un- 
likely that this species will be found within the State, since it has 
been reported from both Rhode Island and Michigan. 
40 Marasmius ramealis (Bull.) Fries 
Epicr. Myc. 381. 1838. 
Pileus subfleshy, plane or depressed, obtuse, 4-9 mm broad; sur- 
face rugulose, opaque, white, disk with a reddish tint, margin not 
striate; lamellae adnate, connected behind, subdistant, narrow, 
white; spores ovoid, apiculate, 8-10 by 3-3.5 ; stipe short, stuffed, 
white, reddish below, farinaceous, 12-18 mm long, 1 mm thick. 
Upon dead twigs and branches in woods. Not common. 
41 Marasmius concinnus Ellis & Ev. 
Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. 1893. 
Pileus minute, convex, cespitose, I mm broad; surface pruinose, 
smoke-brown; lamellae adnate, subdistant, pruinose, the edges ob- 
tuse; spores globose, hyaline, 3 »; stipe attenuate above, white, 
hairy strigose below, pruinose-pubescent at the apex, 2 mm long. 
Upon dead Euonymus twigs. Known only from New Jersey. 
Further observations are needed to determine whether this is a 
good species or merely a small form of M. ramealis (Bull.) 
Fr. or other related species. 
42 Marasmius cucullatus Ellis 
Torrey Club Bul. 6, p.76. 1876. 
Pileus thin, campanulate, I-2 mm broad; surface sulcate-striate, 
closing around the stipe when dry, pale straw color; lamellae adnate, 
about 12, of unequal length, paler than the pileus; spores not found ; 
stipe slender, pale straw color, with thin white tomentum at the 
base, 5-10 mm long.
