32 Annual Report of the State Botanist. 



Monilia efifusa, n. sp. 



Patches at first small, soon confluent and widely effused, thin, pul- 

 verulent, pale tawny or ochraceous ; hyphse hyaline, septate, spores 

 catenulate, limoniform, apiculate at one or both ends, .0006 to .0007 

 in. long, .0004 to .0005 broad. 



Decaying wood. Jayville, St. Lawrence county. July, 

 From 31. aurea it differs in its smaller spores and more effused mode 

 of growth. 



Monilia aurantiaca, Peck & Sacc. 



Tufts pulvinate, superficial, rather compact, soon fragile, velvety- 

 pulveraceous, 1 to 6 lines in diameter, sometimes confluent, orange- 

 salmon color; hyj)h8e radiating, .0004 to .0005 in. broad, irregularly 

 branched, septate as well as the branches, the joints at length sepa- 

 rating; spores heteromorphous, at flrst globose or elliptical, .0004 to 

 .0005 in. broad, or .0007 in. long, .0004 broad, then sublimoniform, 

 forming rather long chains, .0004 to .0005 in. long, .0003 to .00035 

 broad, the chains often branched. 



Dead bark of Ailanthus glandulosus. Manor, L. I. Aug. 



Related to 31. aureofiilva and 3f. sitophila, but distinct in the color 

 of the tufts and in the form and size of the spores. 



Rhopalomyces Cucurbitarum, B. d; E. 

 Flowers and fruit of squash. Menands. Aug. 



Aspergillus fimetarius, n. sp. 



White; sterile hyphae creeping, fertile erect, simple, septate, slightly 

 eidarged at the aj)ex; basidia oblong or subcylindrical, pointed at the 

 apex, .0005 to .0006 in. long; spores globose, .00016 to .0002 in. long. 



Excrement of deer. Adirondack mountains. July. 



The sj)ecies is very closely allied to A. candidus, but is distinguished 

 by its septate hyphse, larger spores and different habitat. 



Rhinotrichum ramosissimum, B. & G. 



Decaying oak wood and bark; also on maple wood. Menands and 

 Selkirk. Aug. 



Our specimens agree with the description of R. Gurtisii in the char- 

 acter of the terminal joints of the hyphae, but in color and spore char- 

 acter they correspond better with the description of R. y^mnosissimum. 



Virgaria hydnicola, n. .^j^. 

 Hyphae minute, forked or ternately divided, "brownish, the ramuli 

 subulate, slightly divergent; spores globose, minute, .0001 to .00015 

 in. broad.
