grows from manure buried in the earth. New York Botanical 

 garden. June. F. S. Earle. Menands. July. 



Marasmius resinosus niveus n. var. 



Whole plant pure white. In other respects like the species. 

 Port Jefferson. August. 



Hypholoma sublateritium squamosum Cke. 



Differs from the typical form in having the pileus spotted 

 with brownish, fibrillose scales. In the dried specimens these 

 scales are less distinct. Piseco. August. 



Hypholoma subaquilum lUuming 



Decaying, prostrate trunks of trees in woods. Piseco. August. 

 This species sometimes occurs in great abundance. The margin 

 of the pileus is often adorned with whitish, tioccose fibrils of the 

 veil, which in the young plant may be interwoven and form a 

 delicate membrane which conceals the lamellae. As tlic |)ileus 

 expands, this separates from the stem and adheres to the margin 

 of the pileus, curving under and still hiding the outer extremities 

 of the lamellae. In the mature plant, however, all vestiges of the 

 veil have generally disappeared. This species is most closely 

 allied to H. appen dicu latum, scarcely differing from it 

 except in the darker color of the young lamellae and the smaller 

 spores. Like that species it is hygrophanous, becoming paler and 

 rugose in drying. 



Coprinus micaceus Fr. 



Specimens of the glistening coprinus were found growing from 

 a stratum of its coarse, felty ozonium or mycelium, which had 

 overspread a part of the surface of an old, prostrate tree trunk in 

 woods near Piseco. August. 



Merulius tenuis Pk. 

 Much decayed wood. Piseco. The type specimens of this 

 species were collected near Ithaca by Professor W. R. Dudley. 

 Fine specimens of it were collected at Piseco by Professor G. F. 

 Atkinson. It is n rare species.
