lacerata - Phallus Ravenelii - Hypocrea sulphur ea.. 
NOTE 973 - HYPOMYCES PURPUREUS FROM REV. BOUTLOU, WEST VIRGINIA 
As named by Peck. This is the first specimen I have seen. 
Seaver states it is the old condition of the common Hypomyces Lacti- 
fluorum and that the change of color from orange to purple is the 
result of age. We can not state to the contrary, but it is hard to 
believe. As tending to confirm it however Rev. Bouthlou collected this 
"from same place as Hypomyces Lactifluorum. u 
NOTE 974 - HYPOCREA CITRINA FROM REV. A. BOUTLOU, WEST VIRGINIA 
We only can judge Hypocrea citrina from Hypocrea sulphurea ( which 
is far more common with us) by the paler color and the habits. 
Hypocrea citrina, as stated by Seaver„grows on the ground, old fungi, 
debris, etc., and Hypocrea sulphurea, grows usually on branches and 
bark and clean habitats. There is a specimen at New York that Under¬ 
wood collected in connection with Exidia glandulosa, hence the habitat 
is given "often on Exidia glandulosa." W r e have collected it ourself 
in this connection but it is only an accidental association, for where 
it is found rarely growing with Exidia, usually it occurs on bark with 
no association whatever with any other fungus. 
BRACE, L. J, K., BAHAMAS: Poria punctata - Daldinia concen- 
trica - Trametes hispida - Tolyporus rigidus - Schizophyllum commune - 
POLYPORUS PROPIN^UUS - Cantharellus minor - Hypomyces aurantius - Lact- 
arius volemus - Polystictus pinsitus - Lepiota caepaestipes - Poly- 
stictue occidentalis. 
BRAUM, E. LUCY, OHIO: SPOROTRICHUM CHRYSOSPERMUM (DET. BURT.) 
NOTE 975 - SPOROTRICHUM CHRYSOSPERMUM FROM E. LUCY BRAUM, 
CINCINNATI.- Miss Braun found this "in large numbers growing on a 
brown Fomes on under side of a log." It must be unusual for I never 
saw it before. I sent it to Professor Burt who names it as above 
with doubt. There is no one in this country who is really studying 
Hyphomycetes and I think Professor Burt is not unduly anxious to work 
on them from the following paragraph from his letter. "If you want to 
study Hyphomycetes, go to it to as great lengths as you choose but do 
not pass them on to me." Why does not some good man like Professor 
Fitzpatrick at Cornell, specialize on Hyphomycetes." We greatly need 
some one to inform himself on the group and name our specimens. Miss 
Annie Lorain Smith is doing the work, I believe, for English mycology, 
but in our country there is no one and we can not get names for the 
most common ones we find. It is quite different from those good old 
days when specimens could be sent to such men as Berkeley, Cooke, 
Ellis, Hennings and others who did not hesitate to name any specimen 
from Abrothallus to J^ythia . and if they did not get them right it did 
not make much difference in those days.
