large number of specimens were set for spore prints, we were unable 
to obtain spores enough to determine the color in mass. Even when 
thoroughly cooked, the plants are strong and unpalatable. Devine’s 
woods, August, Algoma. Bresadola vid. 
Clitopihis prunulus Scop. Well illustrated by E. Michael, Fuehr. 
Pilz., Ao. 52; Richon, Atlas Champ., PI. 36, figs. l~h- On the ground, 
Danek’s woods, September, Algoma. 
Leptonia asprella Fr. Among needles and moss under tamarack, 
Riverside swamp, August, Algoma. 
Leptonia serrnlata (Pers.) Fr. The gills are whitish, tinged with 
azure-blue, serrate. The stipe is characteristically marked by rings 
formed by the cracking of the outer coat. A very delicate species 
whose distinctive points are destroyed in drying. Perry’s swamp, un¬ 
der tamarack and white cedar, September, Algoma. 
Claudopus nidulans Pers. On decayed logs, cemetery woods, 
June, Madison; Trumble’s woods, July, Mauston; Krohn’s Lake, Aug¬ 
ust, Algoma. 
Pholiota adiposa Fr. Well figured by Berkeley, Out., PI. 8, fig. 2, 
Grows on sides of logs and from decayed spots on living trees. Fel¬ 
low’s woods, August to October, Foscora. 
Pholiota aegerita Brigant. The pileus cracks into areas showing 
the yellow flesh. The spores are brick-red. Solitary, on maple logs. 
Decker’s saw-mill, September, Casco. 
Pholiota dura Bolt. The caps are 7—10 cm. broad, deeply cracked. 
The stipe is solid and elastic. In gardens under rose bushes, June, 
Algoma. 
Pholiota margmata Pers. The common forms which grow in 
woods are figured by Lanzi, Funghi Mang., PI. 76, fig. 2. In lawns and 
frondose woods, June to August, Algoma. 
Pholiota squamosa (Muell.) Fr. The foul, heavy odor ascribed 
to this species by Stevenson, Brit. Fungi, p. 230, was noticed in a single 
cluster of about twenty plants growing at the base of a maple tree. 
In these the stipes were 10-20 cm. high and 1 cm. thick, not as roughly 
scabrous as usually figured. The more common forms are such as are fig¬ 
ured by Hussey, Illust., PI. 8; Diet., Deutsch. Crypt., PI. 1^0; Rolland, 
Atlas Champ., PI. 52. Belgian settlement, September, Kohlberg. 
Pholiota squarrosoides Pk. The pileus is covered with rough, 
erect scales. The stipe is rough and shaggy below the ring, smooth 
above. A species much confused with the preceding. Those growing 
in dry weather are not viscid and when dry are whitish with no change 
of color. On logs, Otto’s woods, August, Algoma. 
Inocybe asterophora Quel. The stipe has a separable pellicle and 
a bulb wTiich gives it the appearance of Agaricus acetabulosa Sow., 
Eng., Fung., PI. 303. The spores are nodular, 10-11.5 microns in diam-
