i 6 i . Geaster hygrometricus Pers. 



In oak thickets and coniferous woods, Corvallis and Portland. Oc- 

 tober and November. Not common. Nos. 1975, 21 15. This is the large 

 variety which Lloyd ? has designated as gigantea. Our largest specimen 

 measures 11.5 cm. when expanded. 



162. Geaster lagenaeformis Vitt. 



On ground under oaks on hills to northwest of Corvallis. October. 

 No. 2049. This plant is very characteristically flask-shaped in the button 

 stages. It is not commonly found in western Oregon. 



163. Geaster Morganii Lloyd. 



In oak woods, near Corvallis. October to November. Rare. No. 2048. 



This collection of G. Morganii is perhaps the first reported from the 

 Pacific coast. This collection contains four opened " stars " and one 

 button. The plants do not differ from the eastern plants and are easily 

 distinguished from other local species by their reddish-brown color and the 

 cone-shaped, sulcate mouth of the endoperidium. 



164. Geaster saccatus Fries. 



On ground under Acer macro phyllum, near Corvallis. October. Rare. 

 No. 2046. 



This plant agrees with the description as given by Fries and is the 

 same as that distributed by Ellis and Everhart (Fung. Col. Exs. No. 1217) 

 but as far as the writer can learn it has not been reported from the west 

 before. 



165. Lycoperdon cruciatum Rostk. 



On the ground, campus of Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis. 

 September. Not infrequent. No. 2022. 



166. Lycoperdon elegans Morgan. 



On ground under mixed trees, Corvallis. September. Infrequent. 

 No. 1883. 



167. Lycoperdon fuscnm Bonar. 



On ground in dense coniferous woods near Corvallis. November to 

 December. Frequent. No. 1880. This apparently grows year after year 

 from the same spawn which can be turned up at any season of the year.

Pastures and open woods, Corvallis. October to December. Frequent. 

 No. 1881.
