1702. A. Campanella, Batsch. Reg. Rep. 23, p 85. 



Decaying wood in woods and open places. 



1703. A. Fibula. Bull. Reg. Rep. 23, p. 86. 



Mossy ground in woods and old fields. 



1704. A. gracillimus, Weinm. Reg. Rep. 25, p. 76. 



Fallen leaves and twigs in woods. 



§ 9. PLEUROTUS, Fr. 



1705. A. sapidus, Kalchbr. Reg. Rep. 29, p. 38. 



Decaying wood, stumps and trunks of trees. The spores ol 

 this fungus are lilac-tinted when caught on white paper, but 

 on a dark back-ground they appear sordid-white. The 

 spores of A. ostreatus are said to be white. It is probable 

 that these species are frequently confused. I am not sure 

 that we have the true white-spored A. ostreatus. 



1706. A. salignus, Fr. Reg. Rep. 22, p. 77. 



Mossy base of trees. 



1707. A. petaloides, Bull. Reg. Rep. 22, p. 77. 



Old logs and stumps. 



1708. A. serotinus, Schrad. Reg. Rep. 31, p. 54. (P. serotinoides, Pk.\ 



Reg. Rep. 23, p. 86. 



Old logs in woods. This is a mere form of the preceding 



species, differing chiefly in wanting the squamulose points on 



the stem. 



1709. A. porrigens, Pers. Reg, Rep. 24, p. 64. 



Decaying wood in woods. 



1710. A. nidulans, Pers. (Panus dorsalis, Bosc.) Reg. Rep. 22, p. 81; 30, 



p. 71. 



Decaying wood in woods. A. nidulans, Pers., and Panus 

 dorsalis, Bosc, have evidently been confused, if indeed they 

 are really distinct species. The specimen of "Panus dor- 

 salis, Bosc." in Ravenel's Fung. Car. Exsic. II, No. 13, is 

 clearly not distinct from A. nidulans, Pers. Our specimens 

 have the beautiful incarnate-colored spores attributed by 

 Fries to A. nidulans. 



1711. A. atrocaeruleus, Fr. Reg. Rep. 22, p. 77. 



Decaying wood. 



1712. A. applicatus, Batsch. Reg. Rep. 22, p. 7S. 



Decaying wood. 



1713. A. striatulus, Fr. Reg. Rep. 30, p. 39. 



Decaying pine wood.
