CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OF 

 OREGON FUNGI— I

 (With 6 Figures in the Text) 



The literature dealing with the fungous flora of Oregon has 

 been almost entirely limited to papers on parasitic fungi. Before 

 it is possible to list accurately the fungi of such a relatively unex- 

 plored region a great amount of labor is necessary in the preserva- 

 tion of specimens with accurate notes and labels. It is the purpose 

 of the writer to preserve specimens of Oregon fungi as opportunity 

 is afforded and publish from time to time those lists and notes of 

 species which have never been reported from the state or concern- 

 ing which notes of interest have been obtained. This is the first 

 installment of such lists. In certain groups of fungi many of the 

 determinations were either made or verified by specialists. 



Many of the ascomycetous forms were sent to Dr. Fred J. 

 Seaver for identification, or the Oregon specimens were compared 

 with those sent to Dr. Seaver from Seattle, Washington, several 

 years ago. Dr. E. A. Burt has kindly identified most of the 

 Thelephoraceae and many of the polypores. Dr. J. R. Weir and 

 Dr. L. O. Overholts have aided in the determination of some of 

 the polypores, and Dr. C. H. Kauffman and Dr. W. A. Murrill in 

 the determination of some of the Agaricaceae. Many fungi of all 

 groups have been sent to Dr. C. G. Lloyd for comparison. The 

 aid of these men has been greatly appreciated. 



The list as given here is in the order of groups and families as 

 given in Saccardo's " Sylloge Fungorum," and colors are given
