C. GASTEROMYCETES 



Bovistella ohiensis. On a sunny lawn growing in grass. Large, white, covered 

 with numerous small spines and granules, becoming brownish on top with 

 age and isabelline all over when dried. This species is said to be very- 

 common in Ohio ; I have found it also in New York City. 



Crucibulum vulgare. 



Geaster hygrometricus. 



Lycoperdon cruciatum (Lycoperdon separans Peck). Common in fields. 

 Lycoperdon gemmatum. Occasional. 



Lycoperdon spp. Three small species were found that I did not recognize. 

 One was very smooth and white and grew in fields with L. cruciatum ; 

 another, found rarely in woods, had a smooth, grayish-marbled, reticulate- 

 rimose surface; and the third, occurring frequently in woods, was dis- 

 tinguished by a dense covering of small, whitish to discolored spines. 



Scleroderma verrucosum. On the campus in a low, shaded spot.
