Report of the Committee on Fungi. 



To the Josselyn Botanical Society : 



The Committee on Fungi has made quite a number of 

 additions to the fungus flora of Maine since 1905, but the 

 work has been necessarily slow on account of the limited 

 time available for collecting in Maine, and the lack of mem- 

 bers interested in fungi to supply the committee with speci- 

 mens for identification. 



Since the appearance of the preliminary list of 1,136 

 species, four papers relating entirely to Maine fungi have 

 appeared. These, together with miscellaneous records culled 

 from several of the larger public and private herbaria, will 

 bring the list at present to over 1,500 species. The commit- 

 tee will be glad to name fungi for those interested, with the 

 exception of the Agarics, which can rarely be determined ex- 

 cept when perfectly fresh.
