ILLUSTRATIONS OF FUNGI— XXVI

The rosy-spored gill-fungi of North America have recently 

 been monographed in volume 10, part 2, of North American 

 Flora, and a summary of the genera and species was published in 

 the last number of Mycologia. The accompanying plate repre- 

 sents in their natural colors several species of this interesting 

 group. The original drawings of figures 2, 3, and 7 were made 

 several years ago in Maine by Miss Violette S. White ; figure 6 

 is from a recent sketch by Dr. H. D. House; and the other fig- 

 ures are from originals by Miss Eaton. Other rosy-spored 

 species have been previously illustrated in this series, as follows : 

 Claudopus nidulans in Mycologia 6 : pi. 113, f. 6; Entoloma 

 Grayanum in Mycologia 5 : pi. 92, f. 4; Lepista personata in 

 Mycologia 2: pi. 19, f. 1; Lepista tarda in Mycologia 6: pi. 113, 

 f. 4; Pleuropus abortivus in Mycologia 4: pi. $6, f. 12; and 

 Pluteus cervinus in Mycoolgia 1 ; pi. 3, f. 2.
