LETTER No. 29 



List of specimens received from correspondents in the fniu-d 

 States and Canada since the last report. I extend my sincere- thanks 

 to all who send me specimens. 



C. G. LLOYD, 



Court and Plum Streets, 



Cincinnati, Ohio. 



AIKEN, W. H., Ohio: 



Geaster rufescens Tylostoma Uoydii. Professor Aiken finds this rarely 

 around Cincinnati, and he is the only one who does find it. The "species" is not 

 of much importance. 



ALLEN, MISS LIZZIE C., Massachusetts: 



BovistellaOhiensis, a rare plant in New England, common in the South. 

 Cordyceps ophioglossoides, with a sketch of the fresh plant. 

 AMES, FRANK H., New York. 



Polyporus fumosus, true, I think. Polystictus hirsutus (form) Poly- 

 porus (sp.) Guepinia spathulata Stereum fasciatum Fomes fomentarius Poly- 

 porus gilvus Thelephora (sp.) Hydnum adustum Polyporus lucidus- Hydnuni 

 velutinum Daedalea unicolor, fauve form Hydnum (sp.) Polyporus ratOuu 



Daedalea confragosa, lenzitoid form Crucibulum vulgare Polystictus focicola 

 Polyporus (sp.) Panus stipticus Daedalea confragosa (tram etoid form) Daedalea 

 quercina, curious. The position of the growing plant has evidently been reversed. 

 It has started a new hymeniuni on the under side and filled in the old pore mouths. 



Sehizophyllum commune Polyporus radicatus, rarely reaches me. Polyporus pi- 

 cipes Lenzites protracta (Note 1) Irpex pachylon Fames leucophaeus I>.ml- 

 alea confragosa Polyporus (two species) Stereum spadiceum Thelephora albido- 

 brunnea, a beautiful specimen Stereum purpureum Radulum pallidum I'oly- 

 stictus hirsutus, white pored form Polystictus conchifer Trametes(sp.)- Poly- 

 porus cuticularis Pleurotus nidulans Stereum hirsutum Polyporus alU-llu> 

 Stereum sericeum Irpex lacteus Polystictus pergamenus Merulius tremellosus 



Irpex (sp.) Polyporus frondosus Polystictus hirsutus Polyporus dichrou* 

 Panus rudis Polystictus cinnamomeus. 



BAKER, C F., California: 



Scleroderma Cepa? In the gleba of this specimen are distinct threads or 

 hyphae, unusual in the genus Scleroderma. 



BALLOU, W. H., New York: 



Polyporus lucidus- Fomes leucophaeus "Thelephora dendroidea" a 

 rare and somewhat mysterious species. Its spores and basidial characters an- un 

 known. Ganoderma sessile Corticium. Sent as a Merulius, so it is probably 

 meruloid when fresh. There are several plants of this nature. Merulius fugax, in 

 the sense of Fries, is one of them though it is a Peniophora. A plant that is a 

 Merulius when fresh and a Corticium when dry gives rise to a legitimate difference 

 of opinion as to how it should be classed, as it may be placed in either genua.- 

 Polystictus abietinus (irpicoid form=fusco-violaceus ) Fomes rimosus- i 

 Everhartii, fine specimen. - Trametes pini Fomes annosus Radulum Ballouii 

 This was named "Steccherinum Ballouii" and it impresses me as being a very 

 distinct and marked "new species". However, it would * include*! in Ra.lulum
