 G. F. Atkinson, Aug. 26-Sept. 2, 1902." 



No. 13613 is now russet, w r ith a whitish mycelioid mass on the 

 ground at its base; spores hyaline, even, 7-9x4 1 / 1 >-6 p. 



No. 11577, on Sphagnum, has aspect, structure, and spores 

 very similar to No. 13013, and is noteworthy by the different 

 substratum on which it grew\ 



79. C. foetida Atkinson, Ann. Myc. 6: 50. 1908; Sacc. Syll. 



Fung. 21: 435. 1912. 



Type: in Cornell Univ. Herb.

"Plants white, yellow when dry, stipe not distinct, gradually 

 tapering below, 4-0 cm. high, 1,5-2 mm. stout. Odor of garlic. 

 Basidia 2-spored. Spores oboval, granular, then with a large oil 

 drop, 0-9X5-7 m. — C. I . herb., No. 7740. Coy Glen, Ithaca, 

 N. Y., Aug. 13, 1901. A. M. Ferguson: 1 



Clubs growing on the ground, simple, with hymenial portion 

 honey-yellow, the stem somewhat drab, white at base. I could 

 not find in my preparation spores of the form and dimensions 

 originally published; on the contrary, a few spores present are 

 slightly colored, even, 10-13 X4 1 /l>-5 h, and some other spores 

 are hyaline, even, 0X3 \\ — in both cases too few for me to be sure 

 that they are the spores of this species.

"On the ground in a garden, St. Martinsville, Fa., July, 1888. 

 Langlois, 1435. Slender, 8-10 cm. high, cinereous or pale mouse- 

 color, loosely branched, ultimate divisions subulate. Spores, 

 (white)? globose, 5-7 diam. The whole plant is quite slender, 

 the common stem below being only about 1-2 mm. thick, 

 few upright subundulate branches of about the same t 

 throughout." 



and the 



Clubs many, simple, some sparingly branched above, now light 

 drab; spores copious, hyaline, even, globose, 7 m in diameter. 



Perhaps this species should be in the Section Ramaria near 

 C. amethystinoides of very similar aspect but more branched and 

 perhaps not specifically distinct.
