D ACRYOM YCETACEAE 



Dacryomyces minor Pk. — On old wood at Orient; determined by Dr. Lloyd, 

 who says, " I refer it to the above with doubt, but it appears to 

 answer the description. It is a small (i mm.) cushion shape, 

 orange-yellow gelatinous plant, not changing much in drying. 

 If consistently referred, its recent reference to Dacryomyces 

 deliquescens is an error. It differs as noted above. But the 

 structure is most puzzling and I think it is no Dacryomyces. 

 The hymenial tissue is made up of branched septate hyphae (?) 

 filled with granular matter septate and easily disarticulated 

 into cylindrical hyaline guttulate spores (?). The sections have 

 all the appearance of Dacryomyces spores. I find no basidia, 

 although the forked hyphae (?) have much the appearance of 

 Dacryomyces basidia." 



THELEPHORACEAE 



Peniophora laevigata Fr. — Bark of red cedar, Juniperus virginiana at Orient; 

 determined by Dr. E. A. Burt, who says, "your specimen affords 

 the first station for this species in the United States: I received 

 a gathering several years ago from Canada." 



Stereum albobadium (Schw.) Fr. — Old stems of Brassica oleracea gemmifera 

 (Brussels sprouts), "Orient, R. Latham (in Mo. Bot. Gard. 

 Herb., 17267)," reported by Dr. Burt in Ann. Mo. Bot. Gard. 

 7: 218. Apr.-Sept. 1920. 



HYDNACEAE 



Hydnum fr labile Fr. — On earth in dry woods, Cutchogue; determined by Dr. 

 Lloyd and reported in Mycol Notes 65: 1077. Nov. 1920. A 

 species similar to Hydnum pulcherrimum B. & C. (H. septen- 

 trionale Fr.)
