NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF MARASMIUS. 
A. P. MORGAN. 
MARASMIUS Fries. Gen. Hym. 1836. 
Fungi tough and flexible, drying up and mare or less per¬ 
sistent, not putrescent, reviving when moistened. Hymenophore 
continuous with the stipe but heterogenous, descending into the 
trama; veil none. Stipe cartilaginous or horny. Lamellae tough 
and flexible, sub distant, the edge acute and entire; spores white. 
Agarics small or minute, growing for the most part upon 
wood or among the old leaves in woods; they are easily dried in 
good shape and make elegant specimens for the herbarium. The 
species are numerous, especially abounding in the forests of trop¬ 
ical regions. Saccardo in the several volumes of the Sylloge 
enumerates and describes more than five hundred species. 
The following is an attempt at an orderly arrangement of the 
species thus far enumerated in North America including the West 
India Islands. It is only an endeavor to get together the scattered 
species so that some critical study of them may be made; hence 
the descriptions of the different authors are given as written and 1 
there is no indication of the synonyms which undoubtedly occur 
to some extent.
