of Miami Valley, Ohio.) Bose described this plant in the Berlin Maga¬ 
zine, 1811. Massachusetts, C. J. Sprague, Pro. B. S. X. II.; Florida, W. 
W. Calkins. Journ. Mycol., Vol II, p. 28; Xew York, C. H. Peck, 
Reports Botanist, 22d, p. 81,80th, p 71. Peck writes: “The form which 
occurs here does not agree with the description of the species. It has no 
stem and is of a bulf or pale yellow color. The cuticle does not break up 
into floccose scales, but the pileus is strigose hairy, especially toward the 
margin. The spores are of a beautiful flesh 5 7 -pink color like the lamellae 
of young Agaricus campestris. It grows on beech and birch. I have 
not found it on pine. If the type is accurately described, our plant 
ought at least to be considered a distinct variety.” Ellis has distrib¬ 
uted this species in X. A. F., Xo. 912. Xame, dorsum, the back, from 
it first being resupinate. 
11. Panus angustatus, Berk. 
Pileus about one inch long, coriaceo-submembranaceous, spathulate 
or fiabelliform, narrowed behind, white, dirty white or yellowish, most 
minutely pubescent; upper stratum gelatinous; stem extremely short, 
being in fact little more than a continuation of the pileus; gills very 
narrow, close, decurrent, white, very minutely pubescent, yellowish when 
dry. Somewhat resembling Panus copulatus. Discovered by Mr. Thos. 
G. Lea on a dead log, Waynesville, Ohio, Sept. 10, 1841, Catalogue Plants 
of Cincinnati, 1849; South Carolina, M. A. Curtis; Morgan (Mycologic 
Flora of Miami Valley, Ohio) says it is common on old logs in woods. 
Xame, angustus , narrow, frmu its pileus being narrowed behind. 
12. Panus aluiaceus, B. & C. 
Small, strongly alliaceous, highly offensive; pileus 2' or more across, 
stemless, suborbicular, at length slightly elongated, minutely tomentose 
behind, more distinctly so in front, where it is sometimes rather scabrous 
and hispid, dirty white, inclining to tawny or yellow, especially towards 
the edge; often more or less effused behind; gills of the same color as the 
pileus, distant, entire, moderately broad, attenuated behind, interstices 
even; spores white, with a very slight yellow tinge, minute, oblong, 
strongly curved. A fine species allied to P.fodens, but without the least 
trace of a stem. The curved spores are very remarkable. In the young 
plant the pileus is nearly resupinate. On the putrescent stumps appar¬

13. Panus operculatus, B. <fe C. 
Fasciculate, erumpent; pileus cup-shaped, one-half inch or more 
across, fixed by the apex, rufous, clothed with a scurfy pubescence, 
which at length vanishes; gills narrower, of the same color as the pileus, 
at first covered by a tympanoid veil. South Carolina, Curtis; Xew En¬
