Indiana Fungi — VII 235 



Lentinus lejndeus Fr. On living Picea excelsa, City Cemetery, Monroe 

 County, May 30, 1922. 3921. Gills somewhat narrower than usually 

 given in descriptions. Perhaps not well developed. 



Panus torulosis Fr. On rotten wood, Monroe County, May 21, 1923. 

 3946. Some of the young stems of this edible species are a beautiful 

 pallid violet to aniline lilac. 



Pleurotus sapidiis Kalchbr. On Querciis log, Monroe County, Decem- 

 ber 14, 1921. Hudelson. 3911. One specimen with pileus more 

 than thirteen inches broad. Spores pale grayish vinaceous to light 

 grayish vinaceous. Beautiful spore-prints were obtained from this 

 specimen and exposed to strong light for one year. Only slight 

 fading was apparent. 



Pleurotus serotinoides Pk. On Ulmus americana, December 1, 1921. 

 Hudelson. Monroe County. 3910. 



Volvaria homhycirui (Pers.) Fr. On living maple, Lawrence County. 

 Scott. 3967. 



POLYPORACEAE. 

 Polyporus delectans Pk. On dead Acer two feet from ground, Orange 

 County, October 10, 1920. Mcintosh. 3792. 



CLAVARIACEAE. 

 Sjxirassis crispa (Wulf.) Fr. On ground. Bean Blossom Valley, Monroe 

 County, July 18, 1922. Hudelson. 3927. A most delicious edible 

 species. 



Fungi Imperfecti. 

 sphaeropsidales. 



Actinonema Tiliae Allesch. On living leaves of Tilia aynericana, Winona 

 Lake, Kosciusko County, August 22, 1921. 3894. 



Byssocystis tevtilis Riess. Parasitic on powdery mildew of Plantago 

 Rxigelii. Monroe County, 1922. This rare species was found while 

 identifying Rmnularia Plantaginis Pk. which was taken from the 

 same leaf. The fungus corresponds exceptionally well with de- 

 scription except that the pycnidium was about 50 by 35 microns. 

 Conidiophores apparently present and intercalary spores two-celled. 



Discosia artocreas (Tode.) Fr. On leaf spot of Poenia officinalis. Spots 

 apparently caused by an undescribed species of Sejjtoria. Mon- 

 roe County, July 20, 1923. 3964. Found also on leaves of Prunus 

 seirotina, July 28, 1923. McKay. Monroe County. 3965. 



Phijllosticta commonsii E. & E. On living leaves of Paeonia officinalis, 

 Monroe County, July 17, 1923. 3962. Agrees well with the de- 

 scription, except that of the spores which are given as 4 to 5 (ex- 

 ceptionally 6 to 7) by 2 to 2.5 microns. (See Journal of Mycology, 

 Vol. V, pp. 146. 1889.) In our specimens, the spores are decidedly 

 greenish yellow in mass and measure 5 to 7.5 by 3.5 to 5 microns. 



Phyllosticta cornicola (DC.) Rabh. On living leaves of Cornus florida, 

 Owen County, July 15, 1923. 3961. The pycnidia, which are given 

 by Saccardo as 150 to 200 microns and by Ellis and Everhart as 

 80 to 100, measure here 65 to 85. The pycnidia have definite pores 

 7.5 to 12.5 microns in diameter. The spores agree with measure- 

 rnent given by E. & E. They are granular.
