5. THE PEZIZALES, PHACIDIALES, AND TUBERALES 

 OF MINNESOTA. 



Daisy S. Hone. 



The following is a report of the Minnesota Pezizales, Phacidiales, 

 and Tnberales, with the exception of the Ascobolaceae, collected at 

 various times since 1886, In 1876 Dr. A. E. Johnson collected 

 various fungi, and published a list in the Bulletins of the Minnesota 

 Academy of Natural Science during the years 1876-1879. This 

 collection of Dr. Johnson's was not presented to the University 

 and the Minnesota Academy of Science reports that the specimens 

 which Dr. Johnson did retain have now been destroyed. In 1886 

 Professors J. C. Arthur, L. H. Bailey, and E. W. D. Holway made 

 a collection of fungi in St. Louis County and a list was published 

 in Bulletin No. 3, of the Geological and Natural History Survey of 

 Minnesota (1887). Three new species of the Pezizales were there 

 recorded. The specimens were deposited with the Herbarium of the 

 University of Minnesota and are included in this report. Since 

 that date various collections have been made by Doctors A. P. An- 

 derson, E. P. Sheldon, C. A. Ballard, E. M. Freeman, Prof. F. K. 

 Butters, the writer and others.

 uable advice and supervision.
