Mycologia 



in which 80 species are menioned, of which number about 13 are 

 fungi of forest trees. Short papers by Ellis and Anderson, 5 Ellis 

 and Everhart, 6 and Ellis and Galloway 7 mention 25 species from 

 Montana, of which about 3 are on stems of shrubs or trees. 

 Griffiths 8 in a series of publications on western fungi in which a 

 number of species are either listed or described from Montana 

 mentions 3 species (Erysiphaceae) on forest trees. Jones 9 enu- 

 merates over 100 species of fungi from the Flathead Lake region. 

 Of this number, 17 are important forest tree fungi. Mention of 

 many species may be found in the periodical literature treating 

 certain groups and in the exsiccati. Century 44 (Montana edition) 

 of Fungi Columbiani contains 15 species found on forest trees. 



The present list contains a fairly large number of species, but 

 it is not supposed that all the polypores of the state are yet col- 

 lected. Members of the genus Poria and of the genus Merulius 

 especially have been collected in abundance but only the species of 

 which the identity is reasonably certain are listed at this time. 

 Owing to the wide extension of the State of Montana to the east 

 and west of the Continental Divide, its fungous flora embraces 

 many species of the central as well as of the Pacific Coast states. 

 The heavily wooded section in the northwestern part has prac- 

 tically the same fungous flora as British Columbia. In the plains 

 region and dry mountain areas of the southern and eastern parts 

 of the state, one may expect to find many of the species of the 

 states to the south.
