The Fungi of Blacksburg, Virginia 



323 



Clavaria fusiformis. Found twice. A splendid typical cluster was collected 

 under Rhododendron maximum at the foot of Brush Mountain near Kanode's 

 Mill. 



Clavaria inaequalis. Found once. 



Clavaria muscoides. A small species growing in moss at the base of a white 

 oak in Preston's Woods. Lemon-yellow throughout, fragile, taste fari- 

 naceous and bitterish, odor none. 



Clavaria sp. In leaf-mold under an oak in Preston's Woods. Large and 

 beautifully colored, reminding one of a bunch of coral. Rose-pink and 

 flavous to slightly chrome-yellow. Flavor fine, odor none. Dr. Coker has 

 found this species in North Carolina and will describe it. 



3. Hydnaceae 



Hydnellum zonatumf. Gregarious and abundant on a dry bank on Brush 



Mountain among roots and weeds. Thin, dry, small, with pale margin and 



strongly farinaceous odor and taste. 

 Manina cordiformis. Found in Preston's Woods in a dead spot on a living 



trunk of pig-nut hickory. 

 Steccherinum adustum. Common. I found a fine clump on a white oak log. 

 Steccherinum pulcherrimum. On a white oak log. Large, imbricate, isabel- 



line with fulvous strains on the surface ; context tough, sweetish. 



4. Xylophagaceae 

 Merulius tremellosus. On a white oak log. 



5. Polyporaceae 



Bjerkandera adusta. 

 Cerrena unicolor. 

 Coriolus versicolor. 

 Daedalea confragosa. 



Daedalea juniperina. On red cedar stump on the bank of Toms Creek. This 



rare species was previously known from Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and 



South Carolina, always confined to red cedar. 

 Daedalea quercina. On an oak stump. A rare species in this locality. 

 Elfvingia lobata. Abundant on white oak stumps and at the base of living 



red maple, hickory, white oak, etc. Evidently parasitic, like its northern 



relative, E. megaloma. 

 Fulvifomes Robiniae. Common on black locust trunks about Blacksburg and 



at Mountain Lake. 



Grifola Berkeleyi. I found three very large specimens, all growing by oak- 

 trees. 



Grifola flavovirens. On the ground in woods, where I found it many years 

 ago. 



Hexagona alveolaris. Common on fallen hickory branches. H. striatula was 

 also common on the same host but not on the same actual branch. I think 

 it is undoubtedly only a variety of H. alveolaris. Tn Europe, this species 

 causes a serious disease of the English walnut and we must be prepared 

 to expect it in our walnut and hickory orchards in this country. 



Laetiporus sulphureus. Covering an oak stump.
