Lactarius fuliginosus, Fr. 

 A form with the pileiis colored like that of Lactarius lignyotus, but 

 with the lamellj© much closer than in that species was found in a 

 swamp near Sevey. July. 



Hygrophorus Cantharellus, Sckw. 



This is very common in the Adirondack region and is also very 

 variable in color. In wet weather it is plentiful in groves of poplar, 

 e8j)ecially where there is an undergrowth of brakes, Pteris aquilina.

 decurrent.

Var. Jlaviceps.' Pileus yellow; stem red or reddish. 



Hygrophorus miniatus, Fr. 



This species is also common in the Adirondack region and often 

 has the pileus one to two inches broad. It sometimes grows in 

 circles and is frequently csespitose, in which case the stem is apt to be 

 compressed or ii'regular. Its bright colors render it very attractive. 

 The pileus is often minutely squamulose or roughened with a yellow- 

 ish scurf. The lamellae are yellowish, or yellow tinged with red. 



Lentinus strigosus, Schw. 

 This species was described from specimens that grew on trunks of 

 the tulip tree. It is not rare with us, growing on stumps, trunks and 

 branches of birch, oak and other deciduous trees. It was found this 

 season growing on trunks of balsam fir at Ray Brook, Essex county.
