76 Twenty-fourth Report on the State Museum. 



though it seems to me that Cantharellus crispus should find , a 

 place in it as that species certainly is closely related and revives on 

 the application of moisture. 



Plioatuea Alni n. sp. 



Pileus thin, coriaceous, resupinate-reflexed, generally imbrica- 

 ted, silky-tomentulose, brownish-tawny, the margin sterile ; folds 

 narrow, irregular, interrupted, wavy or crisped, angular, white. 

 Pileus 8"-12" broad. 



On trunks of alders. Indian Lake and Center. October. 



In color and habit this plant has some resemblance to Cantha- 

 rellus crispus. It is somewhat flabby, and in drying, the folds to 

 some extent disappear, but they soon assume their original size 

 and shape on the application of moisture. 



MARASMiriS STRIATIPES U. 8jp. 



Pileus convex, smooth, even, pale alutaceous ; lamellse rather 

 broad, subdistant, rounded behind, attached, white ; stem equal 

 or slightly thickeiled at the base, firm, hollow, distinctly striate, 

 pruinose-tomentose, whitish with an abundant white mycelium. 



Plant 2'-4' high, pileus 2' broad, stem S'-S' thick. Ground 

 among leaves in woods. Greig. September. 



Marasmius anomalus n. sjp. 



Pileus thin, convex, smooth, reddish-gray ; laniellse close, nar- 

 row, rounded behind and united with each other, free, whitish or 

 pallid; stem equal, hollow^, smooth or slightly pruinose, pallid, 

 reddish brown at the base. 



Plant l'-2' high, pileus .5'-!' broad, stem 1" thick. Sticks 

 among leaves in woods. Catskill. July. 



It resembles M. jplancus from which it may be separated by its 

 smooth stem and free lamellae. 



MaeASMIUS PEEF0RAN6 Fr. 



Fallen leaves of spruce trees, Abies nigra. Sandlake and 

 Greig. August and September. 



Harasmius candidus Fr. 



Fallen leaves. Greenbush. July. 



Marasmius papillatus 7i. sp. 



Pileus submembranaceous, convex, then expanded, with a small 

 umbo or papilla, obscurely striate on the margin, dirty white or 

 gray, sometimes with a pinkish hue; lamellae narrow, close, 

 attached, with a slight decurrent tooth, white or yellowish ; stem
