REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. 3 
The species is very rare, but variable. The Brewerton specimens have the 
stem central and decidedly velvety, and it may be advisable to separate them 
as P. Morgani var. velutipes. 
PoLyYPoRUS cUTICULARIS Bull. 
Old hickory stumps. Brewerton. Sept. 
I have seen no specimens with blackened pileus nor with a fimbriate mar- 
gin. In other respects our plant agrees essentially with the description of 
the species. 
PoLYPoRUS CHRYSOLOMA Fr. 
Decaying wood in shaded places. Gansevoort. Aug. 
Potyporus Motiuscus fr. 
Decaying wood. Brewerton. Sept. 
Trametes Troe Berk.

Hypnum FuscodAtrum fF’.

HyYDNUM CINNABARINUM Schw.

HYyDNUM ALUTACEUM Fr. 
Decaying wood and bark. Adirondack Mountains. Aug. 
GRANDINIA MEMBRANACEA P. & C., n. sp. 
Effused, thin, membranaceous, whitish or subalutaceous, sometimes slightly 
tinged with greenish-yellow or olivaceous; granules numerous, crowded, 
unequal; spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, slightly rough, .00025'— 
.0003’ long. 
Much decayed wood, leaves, etc. Tonawanda. Oct. Clinton. 
Apparently allied to G. papillosa. 
CRATERELLUS CANTHARELLUS Schw. 
Ground in bushy places. Sandlake. Aug. 
This was placed by Schweinitz in the genus Thelephora, section Craterellee. 
Our specimens are quite as large as the ordinary form of Cantharellus 
cibarius, which they so closely resemble that they might easily be mistaken 
for a deformed condition of it. They are not quite as bright-colored as the 
cantharellus, and sometimes have aslight reddish tint. The margin is gener- 
ally more lobed and irregular than in C. cibarius, and the spores, though 
yellowish as in that species, have a slight incarnate tint. 
CRATERELLUS CLAVATUS Pe7s. 
Ground in woods. Brewerton. Sept. 
The resemblance of this is with Clavaria pistillaris.
