46 Thirti-first Report on the State Museum. 



MUCOR RAMOSUS Bull. 



Decaying fungi. Albany. Sept. 



Mucor caninus Pers. 



Excrement of dogs. Ticonderoga. Aug. 



Peziza succosa Berk. 



Damp shaded soil in woods. Albany and North G-reenbush. July. 



Peziza vulcanalis Pk. 



Burnt ground under spruce trees. Adirondack Mountains. Aug. 



This is regarded by some as equivalent to P. cupularis, but if the figure 

 and description of P. cupularis in Mycographia are correct, our plant should 

 be kept separate. It is not "subsessile," but it always, so far as I have seen, 

 has a distinct stem. Its color, externally, is brown or ochraceous-brown, and 

 the disk is orange or yellow-orange, not of a uniform cervine color without and 

 within as figured. Neither is it " externally farinose;" and finally the spores 

 are considerably smaller and destitute of nuclei. Indeed, our plant approaches 

 nearer to P. pulahra than to P. cupularis as given in Mycographia, and I 

 would not be averse to regarding it equivalent to that species. But if these 

 two are the same, the name P. vulcanalis antedates the other and should be 

 retained. 



Peziza (Humaria) gallinacea Pk. 



Cups whitish or yellowish, expanded, sessile, attached by a slight project- 

 ing point, externally slightly furfuraceous, the margin often wavy or irregu- 

 lar, the hymenium smooth, sometimes uneven ; asci long, slender, cylindrical; 

 spores elliptical, smooth, uniseriate, occupying the upper part of the ascus, 

 .0003-0004 long; paraphyses slender, slightly clavate at the tips. 

 Partridge dung. Oneida. July. Warne. 

 Peziza Umbrorum Fckl. 



Clay soil. Oneida. Warne. 



Peziza sulphurea Pers. 



Dead stems of herbs in damp places. Albany. Sept. 



Peziza (DASYSCYPHiE) viridicoma Pk. 



Cups minute, sessile, villose, yellowish-green ; asci oblong clavate ; spores 

 crowded or biseriate, oblong or subfusiform, .0005 -.0006' long, .0002'- 

 .00025' broad. 



Decaying wood. Sandlake. Aug. 



The peculiar color of this minute species renders it an attractive object. 



Peziza brunneola Desm. 



Fallen leaves. Center. June. 



Peziza Osmunds C. & E. 



Near the base of Osmunda stems. Center. Sept. 



Peziza (Mollisia) planodisca P. & C. 



Cups minute, sessile, whitish, the disk plane or slightly convex, obliterating 

 the margin; asci short; spores crowded or biseriate, subfusiform, .0003'- 

 .00035' long. 



Dead leaves of grass, Andropogon scoparius. Buffalo. Nov. Clinton.
