Fusarium aquaeductuum R. & R. 



Refrigerator drains. Geneva. September. F. C. Stewart. Our 

 specimens of the "refrigerator fungus" were taken from the drain- 

 pipe of a house refrigerator. The fungus sometimes multiplies till 

 it chokes the drain and stops the outflow of the water. 



Galera capillaripes Pk. 



North Elba, Essex co. August. This little mushroom resembles 

 Galera tenera in color, but it is much smaller and has a very 

 slender, almost filiform stem, more narrow and distant lamellae 

 and smaller spores. 



Geranium bicknellii Britton 



Ledges and rocky places. Near Brownsville, Jefferson co. 

 June. C. H. Peck. Little Falls. October. J. V. Haberer. 



Gyrostachys ochroleuca Rydb. 

 Roadsides and pastures in rather dry soil. Lake Pleasant. 

 August. C. H. Peck. Dry hillsides, near Ballston lake. S. H. 

 Burnham. This species is closely allied to G. cernua. 



Hexagona micropora Murrill 



Dead branches. Verona, Oneida co., and South Bay, Madison 

 CO. July. 



This species is closely related to and was formerly included in 

 Hexagona alveolaris (DC.) , which is equivalent to 

 Favolus europaeus Fr. It may be separated from it, by 

 its smoother pileus and smaller pores. 



Hypholoma rugocephalum Atk. 

 Low moist ground. Port Jefferson. August. G. F. Atkin- 

 son. This species is at once recognizable by its brown rugose 

 pileus. 



Hypomyces banningiae Pk. 



Parasitic on some mushroom which it transforms to such a degree 

 as to render it unrecognizable. Pittsford, Monroe co. August. 

 F. S. Bought on. 



Hypomyces inaequalis Pk. 



Parasitic on Amanita rubescens. Catskill mountains. 

 F. H. Mickleborough. The parasite prevents the expansion of the 

 pileus and whitens both stem and pileus. In the preceding species 

 the spores have no septum, in this one they have a single septum 

 near one end. They are therefore divided into two unequal parts 

 and this suggests the specific name.
