BARTLETT, HARLEY H., Massachusetts: 



Daedalea confragosa, form Polyporus carneus, Nees Panus stipticus 

 Lenzites betulina Lenzites sepiaria Trametes sepiaria Daedalea unicolor 

 Polyporus adustus Geaster hygrometricus Scleroderma Geaster, small form in 

 sand Scleroderma Geaster, large, thin form in loam Scleroderma verrucosum. 

 The type form only occurs in the sandy soil of our Atlantic Coast. Mr. Bartlett 

 finds it abundant and noted a disagreeable odor. I think the odor is a decomposi- 

 tion product. While occasionally specimens occur that are caespitose and more or 

 less confluent and deformed, each pileus has its own distinct stem and it should 

 be classified with the simple stem section. As previously stated the Rostkovius' 

 figure from which Fries got his idea is abnormal. 



BEARDSLEE, H. C., North Carolina: 



Fomes pinicola Fomes fomentarius Fomes rimostis Fomes connatus 

 (on hickory) Fomes connatus (on dog wood) Fomes pomaceus (on plum) 

 Polyporus caesius Polyporus adustus Polyporus adustus, an unusual form with 

 the pileus also "adustus" Polyporus gilvus, tending toward licnoides Polypo- 

 rus rutilans Polyporus cinnabarinus Polystictus velutinus Polyporus hirsutus 

 Fomes leucophaeus Fomes annosus Fomes igniarius?, resupinate Polyporus, 

 unknown to me, on pine. Polyporus Schweinitzii. 



Collected in Ohio: Polystictus cinnamomeus Daedalea confragosa Dae- 

 dalea ambigua. 



Collected in Michigan: Fomes fomentarius, on beech Trametes sepiaria. 



Collected in Illinois: Fomes Everhartii, on oak. 



Collected in Maine: Polystictus perennis Polyporus caeruliporus, a rare 

 plant. Daedalea unicolor (fauve form) Polyporus radiaius, on alder Thele- 

 phora palmata var. Americana. 



BLACKFORD, Mrs. E. B., Massachusetts: 



Polyporus griseus. A fine, abundant collection. In previous years I have 

 confused this species with leucomelas of Europe, which is quite close, but I think 

 distinct. It has developed that Polyporus griseus is the same as Polyporus sub- 

 squamosus in the sense of Fries. The name subquamosus is not a good name for 

 the plant, and in addition is attributed to Linnaeus. It is not known what Lin- 

 naeus' plant was and it is very doubtful if this was the plant, hence we shall use 

 Professor Peck's name which is a very suitable one. Irpex pachylon Polyporus 

 confluens, a rather rare and scantily known species in the United States. I have 

 collected it frequently in Sweden, but this is the only collection I have from the 

 United States. I have seen American specimens in European museums labeled 

 Polyporus ovinus. Daedalea guercina Polyporus hispidus. Rare in the United 

 States, common in Europe. Hydnum velutinum Hydnumaurantiacum Daedalea 

 confragosa, unusual form Polyporus rutilans Fomes carneus Fomes connatus 

 Lenzites saepiaria Polyporus rutilans Polyporus squamosus Hydnum adustum 

 Lycoperdon gemmatum Thelephora terrestris Trametes suaveolens Merulius 

 lachrymans, sterile, mycelial pad. Polyporus radiatus Thelephora (cfr. caryo- 

 phyllea Hydnum (sp. ) Hydnum adustum (young) Lycoperdon atropurpureum 

 Fomes carneus Lenzites saepiaria Polystictus hirsutus Polyporus squamosus, 

 taking almost an agaricoid form. I do not think I have ever seen one before 

 where the transition to an agaric is so strongly marked. Genus unknown to me. 



BRENCKLE, Dr. J. F., North Dakota: 



Gyrophragmium, an unnamed species. Polyporus cyptopus, the second 

 collection known to me. Irpex lacteus, P'r. Geaster asper Secotium acumina- 

 tum Catastoma circumscissum Geaster floriformis, also a number of other 

 species of miscroscopic fungi, not in my line of study.
