 wise like it.

 Formerly considered a variety of Juncus canadensis, 

 but now raised to specific rank. Jamesville, Onondaga co. Sevey,

Lactarius rimosellus Pk. 



Wading River, Suffolk co. August. Edible. The description 

 of this species will be found in the chapter on edible fungi. 



Lentinus spretus n. sp. 



Pileus thin, tough, convex becoming nearly plane, obtuse or 

 umbonate, rimose squamulose, grayish brown or pale alutaceous, 

 often more highly colored in the center than on the margin, flesh 

 white; lamellae rather narrow, close, decurrent, whitish, lacerate 

 serrate on the edge; stem usually rather long, equal or sometimes 

 narrowed or sometimes thickened toward the base, substriate, 

 solid, more or less squamose, often eccentric, whitish, sometimes 

 brownish toward the base; spores white, oblong, .0003 -.0004 of an 

 inch long, .00016 broad. 



Pileus 2-5 inches broad; stem 1-3 inches long, 3-6 lines thick. 

 Decaying wood of pine. Horicon, Warren co. July. Railroad 

 ties. Albia, Rensselaer co. September. 



This species has probably been confused with Lentinus 

 1 e p i d e u s , from which it may be separated by its more slender 

 habit, thinner pileus, smaller scales, more narrow decurrent lamellae 

 without a sinus, and specially by its smaller spores. In our speci- 

 mens there is no evidence of a veil. 



Leptosphaeria substerilis n. sp. 



Foliicolous; spots small, .5-1 line broad, numerous, suborbicular, 

 often confluent, generally sterile, brown or blackish brown, sur- 

 rounded by an elevated line; perithecia few, 1-6 on a spot, unequal, 

 covered by the epidermis, black; asci subcylindric or clavate, slightly 

 narrowed toward the base; spores crowded in the ascus, colored, 

 triseptate, subfusiform, .001 -.001 2 of an inch long, .0003 broad.
