25. Gymnopilus hypholomoides sp. nov. 
Pileus convex to expanded, 3-6 cm. broad; surface dry, sub- 
fibrillose, pale-fuscous, ferruginous at the center, margin thin, 
somewhat folded and uneven, not striate ; context thin, yellowish, 
of mawkish flavor ; lamellae inserted, crowded, rather narrow, 
sinuate, tawny-yellow to pale-fuscous; spores ellipsoid, fuscus, 
7 X 4 ; stipe cylindric, curved, concolorous, fibrillose, sol|fl, 
tough, 4-6 cm. long, 2-4 m.m. thick. 
Type collected on the ground, apparently attached to buried 
wood, on Rose Hill, Jamaica, 3,000 ft. elevation, October 24, 1902, 
F. S. Earle 53. The surface of the cap resembles that of Hypho- 
loma sublateritium. 
Doubtful Species 
Agaricus (Flarnmula) peregrinus Fries, Elench. Fung, i: 31. 
1828. Collected by Benzon on trunks in Santa Cruz, West Indies. 
Types not found. 
Agaricus {Flarnmula) ricensis Fries, Nova Acta Soc. Sci. Upsal. 
III. 1 : 24. 1851. Collected by Oersted on the ground in Costa 
Rica. It was not figured, but a number of specimens were pre- 
served, none of which could be found either at Upsala or Copen- 
hagen. It differs from most tropical species of the genus in 
being terrestrial. 
Gymnopilus sapineus (Fries) Murrill, Mycologia 4: 254. 1912. 
So closely related to G. penetrans that Fries combined the two in 
1821, but later separated them again. Wright’s Cuban collections 
referred to this species at Kew show considerable variation, but 
none seem to fit the temperate, pine-loving G. sapineus, which has 
also been reported from Guadeloupe, Venezuela, New Zealand, 
Ceylon, and elsewhere in tropical regions, probably without care- 
ful comparison with typical specimens. 
10. Crepidotus (Fries) QuH. Champ. Jura Vosg. 106. 1872 
This genus contains small, fan-shaped, wood-loving plants with 
ochraceous or ferruginous spores. The pileus is usually pallid or 
yellowish, and may be either glabrous or more or less fibrillose or 
squamulose.
