 316 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 



ciculata to Oregon. These specimens have the spores up to 

 8-10 X 5-6 (i twice the diameter of the spores of specimens of 

 eastern United States and somewhat larger basidia, but their 

 other characters are so similar to those of eastern specimens that 

 it now seems best to refer them to C. fasciculate. 



These specimens are: 

 Oregon: Corvallis, F. D. Bailey (in Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb., 44144, 



44199). 



C. galeata (Schum.) Fr. 



To my description of this species in Mo. Bot. Gard. Ann. 1: 

 362. 1915, it should be added that the spores are tawny, rough 

 to verrucose, 7-9 X 6-8 n, or subglobose, 8-10 \l in diameter, ac- 

 cording to Bourdot & Galzin, Soc. Myc. Fr. Bui. 26: 227. 1910, 

 and Rea, Brit. Basid., 704. 1922. 



C. marginata McAlpine, Fung. Dis. Stone-fruit Trees in 

 Australia, 120. /. 229-282. 1902; Sacc. Syll. Fung. 17: 192. 

 1905; Zeller, Mycologia 14: 179. 1922. 



Fructifications gregarious, fleshy-gelatinous, sessile, globose, 

 somewhat ochraceous, drying drab and hoary, the pore distinct 

 when full grown but nearly closed by the inrolled margin; hairs 

 curved, honey-yellow, even, up to 120 X4ji; basidia simple, 

 40-45 X 6-8 [x, with 4 sterigmata; spores hyaline, even, 10-12 

 X 6-7 [l. 



Fructifications usually }4 mm - m diameter, reported up to 1 

 mm. in diameter. 



On small "die back" twigs of peach, almond, and apple. 

 Australia and Oregon. July. 



The small, grayish drab fructifications were very numerous on 

 the small twigs received. Up to 30 were counted on an area 1 mm 

 square. 



Specimens examined: 

 Oregon: Corvallis, S. M. Zeller, 1830, 1831 (in Mo. Bot. Gard. 



Herb., 56334, 56335). 



C. muscicola Fries, Syst. Myc. 2: 202. 1823; Hym. Eur. 663. 

 1874; Patouillard, Tab. Anal. Fung. 19. /. 31. 1883; Sacc. Syll. 

 Fung. 6:682. 1888.
