PRELIMINARY LIST OF UPPER ST. 
REGIS FUNGI 
William A. Murrill 
(With Plates 167-169) 
It was my good fortune to spend the last week in August, 
I9i5> with Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Luttrell at their camp on the 
Upper St. Regis, surrounded by virgin forests of balsam fir, 
spruce, and hemlock, often mixed with birch and rarely with 
maple and beech. 
Fungi were unusually abundant, for it was the height of the 
season and one of the best years for fleshy forms ever known in 
the Adirondacks. Every facility was at hand, also, for collect- 
ing, drying, and otherwise caring for the specimens ; and a dozen 
friends stood ready to lend me a helping hand. 
Under these favorable circumstances, it was deemed advisable 
to make both a qualitative and a quantitative survey of the more 
conspicuous fungi appearing in the vicinity during the week, with 
the hope of assisting the large number of mycologists and other 
nature lovers who visit the Adirondacks during late summer. 
The number of species collected was over 300, and this number 
might have been largely increased if attention had been given to 
inconspicuous woody and leathery forms and to species occurring 
on leaves. A number of the rarer species found have not yet 
been definitely determined and will not appear in the list to 
follow.
