FUNGI OF CALIFORNIA AND THE SIERRA NEVADA 
MOUNTAINS. 
[Collected hy H. W. Harkness, M.D., and J. P. Moor, Esq.) 
By William Phillips, F.L.S. 
The following fungi were collected in the winter and spring of 
1876, by Dr. Harkness and Mr. J. P. Moor, and may be considered 
as supplemental of those enumerated by me at page 35 of this Vol., 
and those more recently enumerated at page 74, by my friend Mr. 
Plowright. Of the larger Discomycetes collected on the Sierra 
Nevada Mountains, at an elevation of 4,693 feet above the sea, in 
the month of April, at a place named Blue Canon, on the line of 
the Central Pacific Railway, several are imperfectly developed, 
having no sporidia; this may be accounted for by the fact that, 
although spring species, they were collected in close proximity to 
the snow, which had not at the time disappeared. 
I am indebted to the Rev. M. J. Berkeley for his critical remarks 
on the new species of Myxogastres, drawings and specimens of 
which I submitted to him.
