represented by a few species of Ciitopilus, Entoloma and Lepto- 
nia. Flammula, Inocybe, Hebeloma, Claudopus and Crepidotus 
were also collected, the last being quite abundant in C. versutus. 
Clavaria was more abundant than I have ever seen it before, 
it being one of the few genera of fungi that can exist and thrive 
in such dense shade as that of Kalmia and Rhododendron 
overtopped by forest trees. Several species of C/avaria were 
collected for the herbarium, and certain of the larger forms were 
gathered almost daily during my stay for table use. Other fungi 
made use of in this way were Lactarius volemus, two or three 
species of Russula, Pleurotus ostreatus, Lycoperdon gemimatum, 
Cantharellus cibarius and Hydnum repandum, It was too early 
in the season for a number of excellent autumnal species of gill- 
fungi and for a sufficient quantity of many of the edible Bo/letz. 
The species to be avoided at this time in the collections for the 
table were chiefly Amanita phalloides and most other species of 
Amanita, Lactarius rufus, Russula foetida, Russula emetica and 
Cantharellus aurantiacus. A very common branched species, 
Lachnocladium Schweinitsii, resembling Clavaria in form, was 
easily distinguished by its exceeding toughness and flexibility. 
The Hydnaceae collected were nearly all terrestrial species, 7. 
imbricatum, FH. repandum and H. putidum being abundant. Ca- 
lostoma cinnabarium was the most abundant member of the Gas- 
tromycetes, while Lycoperdon and Geatter were sparingly repre 
sented in three or four woodland s . The season MVorchella 
had past, but Spathularia sets “Lootia lubrica, Sarcoscypha 
cocctnta, and a few other mycetes were fairly abundant. 
wo species of are were collected, Cordyceps miliaris in 
several specimens on pupae of a species of moth buried under 
moss and leaf-mold, and an undetermined species on the larva of 
a large moth which had fallen among mud and leaves by the 
roadside. Several specimens of Tremella mycetophila, parasitic 
on Collybia dryophila, were > found. The wild crabs were all 
aes “Oe Gymn 4 ywium, and the wild plum and cherry 
trees d d with Plowrighita. Erobasidivin 
was rather common on species of l’acctnium and dzalea 
of the best known parasitic fungi were rare, as might be ex-
