type from Jamaica, has been Found in Michigan; //. subminiatus, also 

 described from Jamaica, has appeared in North ( arolina, Michigan 

 and Washington. 



The known distribution pattern oi certain Hygrophori, in the 



northern halt of the United States and in southern Canada, ma) now 



be considered. Among those, species which are also known From 

 Europe, we note the following: //. camarophyUus, capreolarius, chryso- 

 don, discoideus, eburneus, erubescens, fuscoalbus, hypothejus, oliva- 

 ceoalbus, pudorinus, and others of section Hygrophorus; in Camaro- 

 phyUus, II. borealis, niveus, pratensis, oirgineus; in Hygrocybe, II 

 calyptraeformis, ceraceus, coccineus, flavescens, laetus, marginatum 

 var. marginatum, miniatus var. miniatus, puniceus, reai, and unguinosus 

 var. unguinosus. 



Certain species of Hygrophorus, according to current knowledge, 

 are known only in the Pacific Northwest, including limited areas of the 

 Rock\- Mountains and California: //. avellaneifolius, baker ensis, inoctj- 

 biformis, megasporus, odoratus, saxatilis, vinicolor — all in section ////- 

 grophorus; in CamarophyUus, II. graveolens; and in Hygrocybe, II. 

 citrinopattidus, flavifoHus, and laetissimus. 



Several species are thus far known only from the southeastern 

 United States. Included in this category are: //. eburneiformis, fulvosi- 

 formis, arnoldae, foliirubens, subluridus, and westii. Some or all of 

 these may, with critical searching, turn up at least in adjacent states. 

 Murrill's H. subsordidus, first described from Florida, subsequent!) w as 

 found in Texas and Alabama; and //. tennesseensis, the type from 

 Tennessee, has been found in Kentucky, North (-arolina, and, more 

 interestingly, in Massachusetts. 



It seems clear that extending a known distribution, in some in- 

 stances at any rate, depends on a diligent collector with a critical eye. 

 It is noteworthy that a few of Peck's little-known Hygrophori have 

 been re-discovered, and other such finds will surely be made. 



Again, work on Hygrophori and other agarics in Japan, such as 

 that of Imai and of Hongo, has revealed the occurrence there of Hygro- 

 phorus species which are found on the continent of North America. 

 Included in these reports are: //. capreolarius, oirgineus, calyptrae- 

 formis, coccineus, conicus, flavescens, laetus, minutulus, and turundus 

 f. sphagnophilus (as miniatus f. sphagnophUus by Hongo, L952a 



As would be expected, certain species which are widely known in 

 North America and Europe have been reported from South \merica. 

 It also seems certain that many specie's there are new to science, and 

 are awaiting study and report.
