Cragin, F. VV.— 'First contribution to the Catalogue of the Hymen- 

 omycetes and Gasteromycetes of Kansas ;" in Bulletin of the Washburn 

 Laboratory of Natural History, Vol. 1, l^o. I. 



In this paper are given the names and localities of 136 determined 

 species, belonging to genera as follows: Agaricus 22, Coprinus 2, 

 Hygrophorus 2, Lactarius 1, Eussula 1, Marasmius 3, Lentinus 1. Panus 

 2, Schizophyllum 1, Lenzites 1. Boletus 1. Polyporus 39, Trametes 5, 

 Dsedalia 6, Favolus 1, Merulius 4, Hydnum 5, Mucronella 1, Irpex 6, 

 Radulum 1, Thelephora 1, Stereum 15, Corticium 9, Solenia 1, Cyphella 1, 

 Calocera 1, Treme'la 2, Exidia 1, and Hirneola 1 species. 



Those proposed as new are as follows : 



Agaricus alveolatus, Cragin.— Pileus convex, about an inch 

 across, salmon-red ; stipe and gills concolorous ; surface of pileus raised 

 into a net- work of ridges or v/alls, so as to give it a pitted appearance ; 

 stipe short and thick, the total height of the specimen being about 

 equal to the breadth of the pileus ; spores rose white, better described, 

 perhaps, as a delicale salmon-pink. Belongs to the series Hyporhodii. 



. Trametes Kanseksis, Cragin. — Pileus dimidiate, sessile, pitted so 

 as to appear granulate, tumulous, normally once or twice sulcate near 

 the acute margin ; f lom nearly brown on the margin, becoming grayish 

 and then blackish toward the centre ; interiorly light chestnut-brown. 

 Hymenial surface fulvous (pallid-fulvous or rufo-fulvous), more or less 

 convex, with a smooth (almost unctuous) feel, easily receiving and 

 retaining the impression of the flnger-nail. Pores long, unequal, entire, 

 multiform, largely subrotund, many arcuate, a few even sinuate, obtuse, 

 for the most part rather distant, lined with whitish or grayish-brown. 

 Trama of the pores becoming ferrugineous yellow in a superficial zone, 

 about one-fifteenth to one-tw^entieth of an inch in thickness in which 

 zone the lining of the pores becomes lighter. 



Dsedalia ambigua. Berk., var. coronata, Cragin.— A specimen of 

 Dcedalia^ taken near Topeka in autumn, agrees w^ell with ambigua in 

 texture, color and pores, but differs so remarkably in form from any 

 known phase of that species that it seems worthy of distinction, at least 

 as a variety. It has the pileus dimidiate, higher than long, its margin 

 pinched ofi: from the remainder by a deep groove, and separated into four 

 large, broadly rounded, sub-erect, symmetrical lobes, which are well 

 parted at the base, but contiguous above, giving them a pileoloid appear- 

 ance. The central surface of the pileus is much elevated and evenly 

 rounded.
