NORTH DAKOTA FUNGI— I 



J. F. Brenckle 



In this list an attempt is made to bring together all known 

 North Dakota Fungi mentioned in earlier lists and papers, as 

 well as those collected during the past seven years. The fol- 

 lowing gentlemen have contributed to the list with papers and 

 collections : 



Prof. A. B. Seymour's "List of Fungi Collected in 1884 along 

 the Northern Pacific R. R." probably contains the first informa- 

 tion that any fungi existed in Dakota Territory. 



Then came Mr. C. G. Lloyd's "Letters" and " Mycological 

 Notes," which report a number of species collected by Prof. L. 

 R. Waldron, Miss L. Perrine, and myself. 



Dr. Fred J. Seaver next published " Some North Dakota 

 Hypocreales," " Discomycetes of North Dakota," and " Slime 

 Moulds of North Dakota." He also issued three fascicles of 

 exsiccati under the title of " North Dakota Fungi " during his 

 stay in the state ( 1907-1908). 



Lists of my collections have been published by Dr. Rehm, Dr. 

 Sydow, and Prof. Saccardo. " Fungi Dakotenses " was started 

 after Dr. Seaver left the state. 



Prof. O. A. Stevens, of Fargo, has been an active collector for 

 some years and has added many names to the list. Dr. J. Lunell, 

 of Leeds, has contributed a number of species. Dr. J. R. Weir, 

 Forest Pathologist, has sent specimens and a list of tree fungi 

 found in the Sioux National Forest which borders on North 

 Dakota on the southwest. 



The kindly encouragement and help of Mr. Lloyd, Drs. Seaver, 

 Arthur, Farlow, Clinton, Rehm, and Saccardo have made the 

 list possible and to them may be attributed most of the 

 determinations. 



The data accompanying the names are, the host-names or sub- 

 stratum, place and date of collection, and the name of the col-
