REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST 1916 39 



darker with age; context very light brown; tubes usually not over 

 1 mm long, sometimes in large pileate specimens 3 to 5 mm long, 

 angular, variable in size, sometimes irregular, averaging 2-3 a mm; 

 cystidia none; spores cylindrical, 0-10x3/*. 



On dead limbs and trunks of Poplar. Albany, Westport and 

 Horicon. Collected by Doctor Peck. 



This species is reported by Doctor Peck as Trametes trogii 

 Berk, in the 32d Report, page 35 (1879); it is the species described 

 by J. J. Neuman (Polyporaceae of Wisconsin, page 39, 19 14) under 

 the name of Trametes trogii Berkeley and so far as the 

 description of this in Fries (Hym. Eur. 583. 1874) goes, it may be 

 the same as Berkeley's species. The species is placed in Coriolopsis 

 by Doctor Murrill in Polyporaceae of the North American Flora 

 (vol. 9), but is described by L. O. Overholts in the Polyporaceae 

 of the Middle-western United States (p. 69) as Trametes 

 r i g i d a . The range of the species as given by Murrill should 

 be extended northward to Essex county, New York, southern 

 Ontario and Wisconsin. 



Goniopsis cookeana (Ger.) Sacc. 



Collected at Orient Point, Long Island, by Roy Latham upon 

 the following hosts : Quercus alba (dead wood) , Andro- 

 meda ligustrina (dead decorticated branches) , M y r i c a 

 caroliniensis (dead branches) , Rhus glabra (dead 

 decorticated branches) . 



Gymnopilus magna (Peck) Murrill 

 (Flammula magna Peck; Cortinarius validipes Peck) 

 Dr C. H. KaufTman, who has examined the species of Corti- 

 narius in the state herbarium, suggests that the type specimen of 

 Cortinarius validipes belongs in Flammula, and com- 

 parison seems to indicate that it is the same as Flammula 

 magna described first from Westchester county. A collection 

 also labeled C. validipes and made by S. H. Burnham at 

 West Fort Ann (growing in a mass of sawdust and chips), belongs 

 to Pholiota and is doubtless P. destruens (Brond.) Sacc. 



Leptosphaeria subconica (C. & P.) Sacc. 

 On dead stems of Impatiens biflora Walt. Karner, 

 Albany county. C. H. Peck, August 1906. (Determined by Dear- 

 ness.) The type collection of this species appears to be upon
