Murrill: Upper St. Regis Fungi

Vaginata plumbea strangulatan. I had an excellent opportunity to study this 
variety in all its stages and, for this locality, it is apparently entirely dis- 
tinct from V. plumbea. It was not found to vary in color, but Professor 
Atkinson recently told me that he once collected a yellowish form of it. 
Venenarius Frostianusnn 
Venenarius mtiscariusn. The usual orange form of northern latitudes. 
Venenarius phalloidesn. The usual umbrinous form was the common one, 
just as I found at Lake Placid, while the white form or “ destroying 
angel ” was collected only four times. In the vicinity of New York City, 
the dark form would hardly be noticed during an entire season, while the 
white form is one of the most abundant fleshy fungi in our woodlands, 
which accounts for the number of deaths due to its use by ignorant 
persons. 
Puffballs were not very abundant, if we except Scleroderma aurantium, the 
hard-skinned puffball. In addition to the species listed below, I probably 
obtained L. atropurpureum and L. pulcherrimum, as well as two or three other 
species not definitely determined. 
Crucibulum vulgare'^ 
Lycoperdon cyathiforme.^ On the lawn near the camp. 
Lycoperdon gemmatumn 
Lycoperdon pyriforme- 
Lycoperdon separans.n Grassy places in the open. 
Lycoperdon subincarnaUun.^ This beautiful species was found in abundance 
among chips and sticks in a low spot in the edge of mixed woods. 
Scleroderma aurantiumnnn. Abundant everywhere under all kinds of trees.
