Upon dead twigs of Vaccinium corymbosum. Re- 

 ported from New Jersey only. 



Further observations and studies are necessary to determine 

 whether this is a distinct species or only an immature form of some 

 other species. 



43 Marasmius minutissimus Peck 



Ann. Rep't N. Y. State Mus., 27:97. 1878. 



Pileus minute, convex or expanded, .5-1 mm broad; surface 

 white, pubescent, with minute, simple or glandular hairs 30 fi long; 

 lamellae few, narrow, often veinlike or almost wanting; spores not 

 found in the type specimens ; stipe capillary, minutely pubescent like 

 the pileus, blackish brown below^ pellucid white above. 



Upon dead leaves. Rare, probably often overlooked on account 

 of its extremely small size. The minute size and gland-tipped hairs 

 characterize this species. After examining the type specimens of 

 M. minutissimus and reading the description of E o m y - 

 cenella echinocephala Atk. (Bot. Gaz., 34: 37. 1902) 

 one can not help thinking that the two plants are the same species.

Pileus membranous, delicate, convex, subumbilicate, 2 mm broad ;

iPileus membranous, convex, 2-4 mm broad ; surface glabrous,
