Indiana Fungi 145 
Russula foetentula Pk. 
Griffey Creek, June 20, 1921. Hudelson. 3782. Distinguished by 
the cinnabar red color at the base of stem. 
PHALLINALES. 
Mutinus elegans (Mont.) E. Fisher. 
On ground in woods, Monroe County, June 10, 1921. 3885. 
LYCOPERDINALES. 
Bovistella Ohiensis Ell. & More. 
On ground, Bean Blossom, June 15, 1921. Hudelson. 3870. 
PLECTOBASIDINALES. 
Scleroderma Geaster Fr. 
On a clay bank, Bean Blossom Valley, September 27, 1921. Hudel- 
son. This is an interesting fungus, seeming to prefer a rather raw 
clay situation. They are easily overlooked, as only the top is 
visible, this being split sometimes into star-like segments but often 
in a very irregular manner. They ordinarily split one-fourth to 
one-third of the distance from the top. They are from two to 
four inches in diameter. 3596 and 2883. (Bovistella Ohiensis Morg. 
number 3596 in Indiana Fungi IV, for 1915, should be referred 
here. ) 
FUNGI IMPERFECTI. 
SPHAEROPSIDALES. 
Phyllosticta circumvallata Wint. 
On somewhat languishing leaves of Liriodendron tulipifera. Also 
on circular spots due to the common catalpa midge. July 22, 1921. 
3879. Harris. 
Phyllosticta Podophylli Wint. 
On living leaves of Podophyllum peltatum, Cedar Cliff, May 6, 1921. 
3867. Huckleberry ravine, May 24, 1921. Anderson. 3868. This 
fungus is common in Monroe County and varies from the descrip- 
tion as follows: Pyenidia, almost wholly epiphyllous, 100 to 150 
microns in diameter with a definite pore about 20 microns in 
diameter. Spores irregularly globose or ovoid, granular, 9 to 12% 
by 7 to 10 microns. The arrangement of the pycnidia along the 
veins is very noticeable. 
Septoria verbascicola B. & C. 
Common in Monroe County, on Verbascum blattaria. I. U. Campus, 
August 7, 1908. 2386. 
Spots, 1 to 6 mm. in diameter, white center with broad purplish 
border, circular, amphigenous; pycnidia mostly epiphyllous, promi- 
nent, rupturing the epidermis, dark, pore small, wall thin and 
easily rupturing about the pore; spores hyaline, long bacilla-like, 
curved, flexuous or straight, as much as 50 microns long and .5 
to 1 micron thick. (The ease with which the pyenidia rupture 
above may cause it to be placed under the Melanconiales in hasty 
study.) Since no description of this plant is given in Saccardo,
