Upon dead twigs of Vaccinium corymbosum. Re- 

 ported from New Jersey only. 



Further observations and studies are necessary to determine 

 whether this is a distinct species or only an immature form of some 

 other species. 



43 Marasmius minutissimus Peck 



Ann. Rep't N. Y. State Mus., 27:97. 1878. 



Pileus minute, convex or expanded, .5-1 mm broad; surface 

 white, pubescent, with minute, simple or glandular hairs 30 /x long; 

 lamellae few, narrow, often veinlike or almost wanting; spores not 

 found in the type specimens ; stipe capillary, minutely pubescent like 

 the pileus, blackish brown below, pellucid white above. 



Upon dead leaves. Rare, probably often overlooked on account 

 of its extremely small size. The minute size and gland-tipped hairs 

 characterize this species. After examining the type specimens of 

 M. minutissimus and reading the description of Eomy- 

 c en el la echinocephala Atk. (Bot. Gaz., 34: 37. 1902) 

 one can not help thinking that the two plants are the same species.

Ann. Rep't N. Y. State Mus., 27:97. 1875. 



Pileus membranous, convex, 2-4 mm broad; surface glabrous, 

 reddish brown, sometimes almost vinous red, margin striate-sulcate ;
