16 c Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 



Hygrophorus cantharellus Fr. 



On moss-pillow on tundra. W. of Collinson point, Camden bay, July 6, 

 1914. 



Hygrophorus sp. 



On moist ground in dried tundra swamp, Bernard harbour, August 14, 1915. 

 Minute plants, about a half-inch in height. "Cinnamon-brown," spores 

 nearly globose, 10-11 n. 



Omphalia umbellifera Fr. 



In tundra swamp, Herschel island, July 31, 1916. 



Mr. Johansen's note on this collection states that the plant is "uniformly 

 yellow-brown." In southern Ontario it varies from white to dingy stramineous. 

 C. Ferdinandsen in Greenland Fungi Terrestres remarks upon the strong yellow 

 colour which this species assumes in mountain altitudes and in the arctic regions. 

 Judging from the number of records this might seem to be the most commonly 

 occurring agaric in the American arctic region. 



Galera Hypnorum Batsch. 



On tundra at Cape Bathurst, July 26, 1916. 



The spores are brown, elliptic-ovate, 7-10 x 5-6 n. These plants are larger 

 than common for Galera Hypnorum. 



Galera tenera Schaeff. 



In dried-out tundra swamp, Bernard harbour, August 16, 1915. 



Collector's note: "15 mm. high, cap 6 mm., stalk 3 mm. thick at base, 

 brown." 



Inocybe flocculosa Berk. 



On tundra, Bernard harbour, August 22, 1915. 



Small plants about 1 cm. in width and in height. Spores smooth; cystidia 

 crystal-capped, 60-70 ii. 



Naucoria sp. 



On tundra, Bernard harbour, August 22, 1915. 



Hebeloma fastibile Fr. 



Bernard harbour, September 1, 1915. 



"To-day (July 27, 1914)", writes Mr. Johansen, "I found growing in the 

 bare sand ashore on the sandspit (at Martin Point, Camden Bay), a big A garicus 

 campestris? shooting up from the ground, upper surface sand-covered. Total 

 height 3| inch., stalk 2i inch, long and 1 inch thick at base; greatest diameter 

 of hat-disc 3i inches, flat; with purple-cocoa-coloured lamellae and almost 

 ripe spores." I did not see this specimen. The species named has three arctic 

 records — Cape Stewart, Greenland; Fram's fjord; Ellegmere land and Kadiak, 

 Alaska. 



Mr. F. Johansen's notes on other unidentified agarics: 



No. 1. "Hat and stalk above leather brown; ripe lamellae purple-brown; 

 ring on stalk; east end of Herschel Island," July 31, 1916. 



No. 2. Same date as No. 1, at higher elevation; "a smaller yellow-brown 

 mushroom." 



No. 3. Same place as No. 1; "Russula sp.? hat above shining, lighter or 

 darker purple-rose, otherwise white; on higher tundra." Note. — The globose- 

 echinulate spores about 9 fi, the shining pileus and other features suggest Russula 

 emetica Fr.
