Murrill: Fungi Collected in Virginia 



35 



chestnut canker has appeared in the valleys to the north and south 

 of the mountain, but has not yet extended above them. 



The summit of the mountain consists of masses of granite rock, 

 with some grass, a few stunted red oaks, the Alleghany birch, and 

 thickets of hawthorn, willow, dogwood, gooseberry, and hazelnut. 

 The north side of the mountain, especially near the waterfall and 

 brook, is quite moist and should yield a large number of fungi 

 at the proper season. 



In the following list of fungi, which is alphabetical, the nu- 

 merals 1-3 denote a definite number of times collected, while the 

 letters n, nn, and nnn mean " frequent," " common," and " very 

 common," respectively.
