REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST I906 35 



In the dried specimens the folds have disappeared from the 

 hymenium near the stem but they are very distinct toward the 

 margin. In other respects these mushrooms maintain the characters 

 of the species. We propose for them the name Craterellus 

 c a n t h a r e 1 1 u s i n t e r m e d i u s n. var. The hymenium is in- 

 termediate in character between that of Cantharellus and Craterellus. 



Dryopteris simulata Dav. 



Fine specimens of this delicate fern were found near " Merrell 

 Avenue," Richmond co. by Mr P. Do well and contributed by him to 

 the State herbarium. 



Eleocharis intermedia habereri Fern. 

 Sandy shore of Oneida lake at Lewis point, Madison co. August. 

 J. V. Haberer. In this variety the bristles are rudimentary or en- 

 tirely wanting. 



Fusarium sclerodermatis Pk. 

 This name is antedated by Fusarium sclerodermatis 

 Oud. The New York fungus has the same habitat as the other and 

 is so closely related to it that, in our opinion, it is only a less fully 

 developed form of it. 



Inocybe calamistrata Fr. 



A form of this species sometimes occurs in which the usual dingy 

 blue tint at the base of the stem is wanting-. Such specimens were 

 collected near Friends lake in July. They were growing with the 

 normal form. 



Irpex canescens Fr. 



Fine specimens of this species were found in woods near Wading 

 River. They were growing on dead branches of an apple tree, and 

 developed on the underside of the branches. On branches less than 

 an inch thick, a free margin projected 3 or 4 lines on each side. The 

 hymenium of these margins had the appearance of the hymenium of 

 some Lenzites, the plates being lamellalike and running at right 

 angles to the axis of the branch and parallel to each other, occasion- 

 ally branching or anastomosing. 



Lactarius pergamenus Fr. 



This mushroom seems to intergrade with Lactarius piper- 

 a t u s Fr. Specimens sometimes occur that might with almost equal 

 propriety be referred to either species. But specimens were found
