Hydnum geogenium, /7. 
Woods. South Ballston. Aug. 
I am not aware that this rare and interesting species has before 
been noticed in this country. According to Fries, the species is very 
variable, so much so that some specimens might be referred to the 
section Pleuropoda, others to Mesopoda, and others still to Apoda, 
to which the typical form belongs. 
Hydnum farinaceum, Pers. 
Decaying wood of hemlock. Osceola. Aug. 
Grandinia granulosa, 77. 
Dead bark of alders. Karner. Sept. 
A variable species, referred to Thelephora by Albertina and 
Schweinitz, to Hydnum by Persoon, and to Grandinia by Fries. 
Our specimens were whitish when fresh, but they become ochraceous 
or subalutaceous when old and dry. They are also rimose, thus 
answering to variety *7mosa Pers. 
Corticium puteanum, /7. 
Decaying wood in swamps. Guilderland. Sept. 
Corticium radiosum, /7. 
Decaying wood. Osceola. Aug. 
Corticium cinerascens, Bers. 
Dead branches of oak. Albany. Aug. 
Our specimens are resupinate. The hymenium when moist was 
tuberculose and of a dingy hue; in the dry state it is cinereous and 
rimose. The spores are elliptical. 
Clavaria circinans, 7. sp. 
Stem short, solid, dichotomously or subverticillately branched ; 
branches slightly diverging or nearly parallel, nearly equal in length, 
the ultimate ones terminating in two or more short acute concolo- 
rous ramuli ; spores ochraceous. 
Plant 1 to2 in. high, obconic in outline, flat topped, appearing 
almost as if truncated, pallid or almost whitish in color, generally 
growing in imperfect circles or curved lines. 
Under spruce and balsam trees. Adirondack mountains. Aug. 
Clavaria gracilis, Pers. 
Ground in open places, especially under brakes, Pteris aquilina. 
Adirondack mountains. 
The typical form has the branches numerous, nearly straight and 
slender, but forms occur in which they are thicker, more loose and 
flexuous. Such forms approach C. Awnzei in appearance, but they
