84 Forty-first Annual Report on the 



Mycena pura, Pers. 

 This species is quite variable in color. A form occurs under pine 

 trees in the Catskill mountains, in which the whole plant has a purplish 

 color, with the lamellae a little paler than the pileus and stem. It is 

 darker than the ordinary forms. 



Naucoria Highlandensis, Pk. 



This was found in the Catskill mountains, growing on buried pieces 

 of charcoal. This habitat is the same as that of Flammula carbonaria, 

 a species to which our plant is evidently allied, but from which it is 

 separated by its white flesh and its adnexed lamellae. 



Stropharia Johnsoniana, Ph 



A form of this very rare species, which has hitherto been found in 



but one locality, occurs in the Catskill mountains. In it the pileus is 



wholly yellowish and sometimes marked with darker spots, and the 



stem is squamulose below the annulus, with upwardly directed 



squamules. 



Hygrophorus miniatus, Fr. 



This species is very abundant in wet weather in all our woody and 

 swampy districts, and is very variable in size and somewhat in color. 



Variety suhluteus. Pileus yellow or reddish-yellow, stem and 

 lamellae yellow, plant often caespitoee. 



Thin woods. Catskill mountains. September. 



Lactarius rufus, Fr. 



Among moss, under balsam trees, near the summit of Wittenberg 

 mountain. A small form, but very acrid, and thus distinguishable 

 from large forms of L. subdulcis. 



Lactarius affinis, Pic. 



This occurred plentifully in the Catskill mountains in September. 

 It is readily distinguished from L. insulsus by the characters indicated 

 in the Thirty-eighth Report. 



Lactarius scroTbiculatus, Fr. 



Fine specimens were found growing under hemlock trees in the 

 Catskill mountains. The pileus in some was eight inches broad, pale 

 yellow, very viscid, slightly zoned and distinctly bearded on the mar- 

 gin with coarse hairs.
