Report of the Botanist. 35 



The species is very rare, but variable. The Brewerton specimens have the 

 stem central and decidedly velvety, and it may be advisable to separate them 

 as P. Merry ani var. velutipes. 



POLYPORUS CUTICULARIS Bull. 



Old hickory stumps. Brewerton. Sept. 



I have seen no specimens with blackened pileus nor with a fimbriate mar- 

 gin. In other respects our plant agrees essentially with the description of 

 the species. 



POLYPORUS CHRYSOLOMA Ft. 



Decaying wood in shaded places. Gansevoort. Aug. 



POLYPORUS MOLLUSCUS Ft. 



Decaying wood. Brewerton.. Sept. 



Trametes Trogii Berk. 



Decaying trunks of poplar, Populus monilifera. Albany. Sept. 



Hydnuai fuscoatrum Ft. 



Decaying wood. Buffalo. Clinton. 



Hydnum cinnabarinum Schw. 



Under side of a decaying pine log in woods. Tonawanda. Clinton. 



Hydnum alutaceum Ft. 



Decaying wood and bark. Adirondack Mountains. Aug. 



Grandinia membranacea P. & C, n. sp. 



Effused, thin, membranaceous, whitish or subalutaceous, sometimes slightly 

 tinged with greenish-yellow or olivaceous ; granules numerous, crowded, 

 unequal ; spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, slightly rough, .00025'- 

 .0003' long. 



Much decayed wood, leaves, etc. Tonawanda. Oct. Clinton. 

 Apparently allied to G. papillosa. 



Craterellus Cantharellus /Schw. 



Ground in bushy places. Sandlake. Aug. 



This was placed by Schweinitz in the genus Thelephora, section Craterellse. 

 Our specimens are quite as large as the ordinary form of Cantharellus 

 cibarius, which they so closely resemble that they might easily be mistaken 

 for a deformed condition of it. They are not quite as bright-colored as the 

 cantharellus, and sometimes have a slight reddish tint. The margin is gener- 

 ally more lobed and irregular than in C. cibarius, and the spores, though 

 yellowish as in that species, have a slight incarnate tint. 



Craterellus clavatus Pers. 



Ground in woods. Brewertoa. Sept. 



The resemblance of this is with Clavaria pistillaris.
