Annual Report of the State Botanist. 19 



This is a species which in some respects approaches P. Ruthce, 

 but differs from it in having- the lamelltie distinct behind, not 

 anastomosing-, and there are no red tints on the stem. The plant is 

 said to be frag-rant when fresh. I have seen it only in the dried 

 state and, therefore, the description may not correspond exactly 

 with the coloring- of the fresh plant. 



Pleurotus campanulatus n. sp. 



(Plate2. flgs. 13 to 15.) 



PUens thin, subtenacious, campaniilate, attached by the vertex, 

 glabrous or sprinkled with a few grayish hairs, often plicate-striate 

 on the marg-in, black ; lamellse few, distant, whitish ; spores curved, 

 .0003 to .00035 in. long, .00015 to .00016 broad. 



Pileus 1 to 2 lines broad. 



Dead branches of mulberry, Morus rubra. Saugerties. INIay. 



This fun^is resembles some forms of P. striatuhcs, but it is easily 

 distin^iished by its black color and curved spores. The vertex of 

 the pileus is sometimes prolonged, forming: a distinct stem. 



Flammula squalida n. sp. 



Pileus fleshy, convex or plane, firm, viscose, glabrous, dingy-yel- 

 lowish or rufescent, flesh whitish, colored similar to the pileus under 

 the separable pellicle ; lamellae rather broad, adnata, pallid, becom- 

 ing- brownish-ferruginous ; stem slender, generally flexuous, hollow, 

 fibrillose, subcartilaginous, pallid or bro\vnish, pale-yellow at the 

 top when j^oung; spores brownish-femiginous, .0003 in. long-, .00016 

 broad. 



Pileus 1 to 1.5 in. broad ; stem 1.5 to 3 in. long, 1 to 2 lines thick. 



In bushy and swampy places. Carrollton and Sandlake. 

 September. 



This species is closely allied to F. spnmosa, of which, perhaps, 

 some may prefer to consider it a variety. But having observed it 

 several times in different localities and always finding it constant in 

 its character and readily distinguishable, it has seemed best to 

 recognize it as a species. It is distinguished by its slender habit, 

 more uniform color, subcartilaginous stem, darker spores and gen- 

 erally dingy appearance. It is often strongly c«?spitose and is 

 found especially among alder bushes in swamps. 



Pluteolus reticulatus Pers. 

 Decayed wood of deciduous trees. Carrollton. September.
