C. minor Peck 



Notes. 



Murrill regards the name Cantharellus as a variant in 

 spelling of Chanterel and discusses the genus under the latter 

 name (N. Am. Flora 9^:167). He describes C. umbonatus, C. 

 aurantiacus and C. cibarius respectively as Chanterel muscoides 

 (Wulf.) Murrill, Chanterel alectorolophoides (Schaeff.) Mur- 

 rill, and Chanterel Chanterellus (L.) Murrill. 



Plants referred by Hard to C. brevipes Peck were prob- 

 ably young specimens of C. floccosus. 



Fries, followed by Saccardo, placed C. cinnabarinus in 

 the genus Hygrophorus. American writers regard this species 

 as a good Cantharellus. 



NYCTALIS FR. 



Pileus white to brownish, usually powdered with brownish, 

 stellate conidia ; lamellae distant ; plants on decaying 

 Agarics. S. 501; N. A. F. 9^:166; H. 204; St. 2:138. 



A^. asterophora Fr. 

 This species is published in the North American Flora as 



Asterophora clavus (Schaeff) Murrill. 



HELIOMYCES LEV. 



Marasmius nigripes (Sch.) Fr. is placed in this genus by 

 Morgan (Jour. Myc. 12:93). It will be easily recognized by 

 the thin, white pileus and the black stipe which has a white 

 pruinose covering. In dried specimens the stipe becomes pale 

 brownish. S. 534; M. 193; H. 152.
