  Coprinus

  Chip 
  dirt, 
  about 
  an 
  old 
  lumber 
  camp, 
  Township 
  24, 
  Franklin 
  

   county. 
  September. 
  

  

  The 
  lamellae 
  sometimes 
  show 
  a 
  whitish 
  edge 
  and 
  whitish 
  dots 
  on 
  

   the 
  sides. 
  These 
  are 
  due 
  to 
  projecting 
  cells 
  of 
  cystida. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  

   sterile 
  form 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  pileus 
  is 
  paler 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  fertile 
  form, 
  and 
  

   the 
  lamellse 
  are 
  persistently 
  whitish. 
  The 
  lamellae 
  are 
  free 
  and 
  some- 
  

   times 
  the 
  free 
  space 
  about 
  the 
  stem 
  ruptures 
  in 
  such 
  a 
  way 
  as 
  to 
  give 
  

   them 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  being 
  attached 
  to 
  a 
  free 
  collar. 
  The 
  spores 
  

   are 
  broadly 
  ovate 
  and 
  compressed, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  transverse 
  diameter 
  is 
  

   greater 
  when 
  the 
  spore 
  lies 
  flat 
  than 
  when 
  it 
  lies 
  on 
  its 
  edge. 
  They 
  

   are 
  .00045 
  to 
  .0005 
  in. 
  long, 
  .0003 
  to 
  .0004 
  broad. 
  

  

  Cantharellus 
  aurantiacus 
  pallidus 
  Pk. 
  

  

  Specimens 
  of 
  this 
  variety 
  were 
  found 
  growing 
  from 
  the 
  dead 
  trunk 
  

   of 
  a 
  standing 
  pine 
  tree. 
  The 
  stem 
  in 
  some 
  instances 
  was 
  eccentric. 
  

   The 
  yellowish 
  pileus 
  sometimes 
  has 
  the 
  margin 
  almost 
  white. 
  The 
  

   lamellae 
  are 
  frequently 
  crisped 
  or 
  wavy.

  Russula 
  Marise 
  Pk. 
  

  

  This 
  fungus 
  appeared 
  in 
  considerable 
  abundance 
  the 
  past 
  sum- 
  

   mer 
  near 
  Albany 
  and 
  at 
  Port 
  Jeflferson. 
  It 
  is 
  well 
  marked 
  by 
  the 
  

   pruinose 
  appearance 
  of 
  its 
  pileus 
  and 
  the 
  minute 
  reddish 
  or 
  purplish 
  

   granules 
  which 
  when 
  wet 
  cause 
  a 
  stain 
  upon 
  any 
  white 
  surface 
  or 
  

   paper 
  which 
  may 
  lie 
  in 
  contact 
  with 
  the 
  pileus. 
  The 
  margin 
  is 
  even, 
  

   but 
  sometimes 
  becomes 
  slightly 
  striate 
  in 
  old 
  age. 
  The 
  flesh 
  is 
  white, 
  

   but 
  is 
  often 
  sHghtly 
  red 
  or 
  pinkish 
  under 
  the 
  cuticle, 
  which 
  is 
  separ- 
  

   able, 
  at 
  least 
  on 
  the 
  margin. 
  The 
  lamellse 
  are 
  entire 
  and 
  the 
  inter-
