NEW EXTRALLMITAL SPECIES OF FUNGI 

 Phallogaster whitei 



Peridium subglobose, 4-5 lines broad, abruptly contracted below 

 into a cylindric stem about 4 lines long and i line thick, stellately or 

 radiately rupturing when mature, the rays recurved; glebe masses 

 greenish, becoming black in drying, separated from each other by 

 a white slightly lobed columella, the lobes not reaching the inner 

 surface of the peridium; spores minute, oblong, .00016-.0002 of an 

 inch long. 



Much decayed wood. Storrs, Ct. July. E. A. White. Closely 

 allied to Phallogaster saccatus Morg. but distinct in 

 its smaller size, differently shaped peridium, different mode of rup- 

 ture, more distinct cylindric stem and different internal structure. 

 Like that species it has an abundance of white branching mycelial 

 strands. It is dedicated to its discoverer. 



Hymenogaster anomalus 



Peridium thin, subglobose, 9-12 lines in diameter, glabrous, 

 slightly lacunose, often with a rootlike strand of mycelium at the 

 base, whitish, sometimes tinged vAth red above, white and cellular 

 within, the cells empty, .5-1 line in diameter, sterile base obsolete 

 or nearly so, odor slight, not disagreeable ; spores globose or broadly 

 elliptic, even, hyaline, uninucleate, .0004-.00055 of an inch long, 

 .00035-.0005 broad. 



Near Washington, D. C. August and September. T. E. Wil- 

 cox. This species is most closely related to Hymenogaster 

 t h w a i t e s i i B. & Br. by its subglobose spores, but it may be 

 separated by its white substance, its smoother colorless spores and
