Pileus 1.5-2.5 cm broad; stem 3-5 cm long, 2-4 mm thick. Mossy ground in low woods. Essex co. September. The resemblance of this species to some forms of Inocybe geophylla (Sow.) Fr. is so close that it is important to have a knowledge of its spore characters in order to make a satisfactory determination. The specific name is suggestive of this fact. Some- times the margin is so abundantly and deeply split that the radiating lobes give a stellate appearance to the pileus. Inocybe com- mixta Bres, Inocybe umbratica Quel. and - Inocybe leucocephala Boud. are given as synonyms of this species by Massee. . This species has been reported as having caused a slight tempor- ary illness in some members of a family who had specimens of it prepared for the table and partook of them. It is weil therefore to consider it a poisonous or at least an unwholesome species. Viscidae Pileus viscid becoming smooth. This section connects the genus Inocybe with the genus Hebeloma, the viscid pileus being common to it and Hebeloma. The character, “becoming smooth,” does not rigidly apply in all cases, for in some cf the species the pileus is more or less persistently silky or fibrillose or hairy on the margin.

Pileus I.5-6 cm broad; stem 1.5-6 cm long, 4-6 mm thick. Gregarious or cespitose. Gravelly soil under cottonwood trees. Clinton co. September. This is an extremely variable species and shows how difficult it may be with a limited number of specimens in such cases to locate them correctly. All the forms here included under one name were collected at the same time and place, in a limitéd area but a few feet in diameter. They are without doubt all one species. Their general appearance suggested such a close relationship to H e belo- ma colvini Pk. that it was thought best to group them all under that species as a variety distinguished chiefly by its more fully developed veil. If only the form having the veil and annulus in their most highly developed condition had been seen, the species might easily have been referred to the genus Pholiota. Even with those in which only fragmentary vestiges of the veil adhere to the stem its natural place would seem to be in the Subannulata division of the genus Hebeloma. But other forms show no trace of an annulus and compel us to be more conservative in our assignment of this per- plexing species. It is therefore placed where the more abundant forms and less strongly developed or silky fibrillose veil would require it to go. It differs from Hebeloma strophosum Fr, in its great variability, differently colored pileus, radishlike odor and specially in the whitish color of the young lamellae. 7O NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Hebeloma firmum (Pers.)

Edible and of excellent flavor. This species differs from the next following species in its paler young pileus, its adnate lamellae which also are not at first viola- ceous and in its stem which is not striate at the top. It differs also. from the appendiculate hypholoma, Hypholoma ap- pendiculatum (Bull.) Fr. by its paler pileus, its larger spores, its more gregarious habit and in its habitat. It occasionally has the pileus radiately and areolately rimose. Hypholoma candolleanum I'r. CANDOLLE HYPHOLOMA Sylloge V, p.1038 Pileus fleshy but thin, convex or subcampanulate, becoming ex- panded, obtuse, glabrous, hygrophanous, bay when young and moist, white with a yellowish center when dry, flesh white; lamellae rounded behind, adnexed, close, at first violaceous, then cinnamon brown; stem fragile, subfibrillose, hollow, striate at the apex, white; spores 8-9 » long, 4-5 » broad. Pileus 5-10 cm broad; stem 5-7 cm long, 3-6 mm thick. Cespitose. Growing on the ground. Silver Springs, Wyoming co. August. Rare. We have not seen young and fresh specimens of this plant and doubtfully admit it on the strength of specimens which, in this case as in others so referred, do not show young lamellae with a viola- ceous color, though in other respects they appear to belong to it. Even the figures of it given in Mycological Illustrations and in Illustrations of British Fungi do not show this color to the lamellae, though the description of the species requires it.

Single or gregarious. Decaying wood. Adirondack mountains. June. Rare. Found but once. Remarkable for the persistency of the moisture in the center of the pileus. This character is suggestive of the specific. name and separates it from allied species. It has some points of agree- ment with the candolle hypholoma, ly pholoma candol- leanum Fr., but differs from it in its mode of growth and in the color of the young lamellae. Hypholoma hymenocephalum Pk. THIN CAP HYPHOLOMA N. Y. State Mus.

Gregarious. Damp ground among fallen leaves, especially under shrubs or small trees. Occasional. July and August. The species is remarkable for its very thin and fragile pileus and for its fragile striate stem. The margin of the pileus is some- times deeply split, forming radiating lobes and giving a stellate appearance to the cap. Hypholoma appendiculatum (Bull.) Fr. APPENDICULATE HYPHOLOMA Sylloge V, p.1039 Pileus thin, fleshy, ovoid or convex becoming expanded, glabrous, hygrophanous, bay brown or tawny brown when moist, ochraceous or pale ochraceous and rugose after the escape of the moisture; REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IQIO 7/7 lamellae close, narrow, adnate, whitish or creamy white becoming purplish brown; stem slender, equal, hollow, glabrous, pruinose at the top, white, the veil webby, white or whitish attached to the margin of the pileus when young, quickly disappearing; spores 5-7 v long, 3-4 v broad. Pileus 2-6 cm broad; stem 5-7 cm long, 4-6 mm thick. Densely cespitose. Decaying wood chiefly in woods of hilly or mountainous districts. August to October. This name as used by Bulliard appears to have been applied to at least two species and on this account some confusion has re- sulted. In the Outlines of British Fungology, plate 11, figures 3 and 4, two species are evidently included under this name. In Sylloge V, page 1039, the name is limited to the species represented by figure 3. In our treatment of this species we have limited it to those specimens which best agree with the characters ascribed to it in Sylloge. The agreement is good except in the color of the gills, which in our specimens passes from whitish to purplish brown instead of incarnate brown. The peculiar characters of the species are its tendency to form dense tufts, to grow chiefly on de- caying wood, to be very hygrophanous, the difference between the color of the moist cap and the dry being well marked, and in the lateness of its appearance. The dimensions of the spores are given in Sylloge as 6-8 x 3-4 », in British Fungus Flora as 5 x 2.5 »; In our specimens they agree better with those given in Sylloge. Fascicularia Pileus tenacious, glabrous, bright colored, dry, not hygrophanous. The flesh of the pileus in this section is thicker and more firm than in the species of the preceding one. The prevailing colors of the pileus are red and yellow and its surface is smooth and not at all hygrophanous. They usually grow in tufts on dead or decaying wood and appear in autumn. The species resemble each other closely and should be cautiously separated. KEY TO THE SPECIES seams PEM eSECSRCH. anes oak Sern s,.

A small form of it has been found by F. C. Stewart growing from the base of cultivated red currants. This may indicate a parasitic tendency of it.

FIR WOOD HYPHOLOMA Sylloge V, p.1028 Pileus fleshy, convex or nearly plane, obtuse, glabrous, dry, yel- lowish, often reddish or ochraceous in the center, flesh white, odor and taste mild; lamellae moderately close, adnate, dry, smoky gray becoming purplish or brown; stem equal or nearly so, silky, striate at the top, sometimes curved or flexuous, hollow, pallid; spores 7-8 » long, 4-5 » broad. Pileus 2.5-4 cm broad; stem 4-7 cm long, 4-6 mm thick. Single or cespitose. On or about pine and spruce stumps or prostrate trunks. Adirondack mountains and Albany co. May to September. Rare. The Friesian description ascribes only yellowish and ochraceous colors to the pileus of this species, but in our specimens the center of the pileus is often reddish or orange tinted. This color is also shown in the figures of the species as given in Icones, plate 133, and in Illustrations of British Fungi, plate 559. The mature lamellae of the typical form are described as purplish, but in our specimens they are brown with no apparent purplish tint. We have not thought it best to separate our plant on account of this slight deviation from the description of the color of the mature lamellae of the European form of the species. Floccosa Pileus silky or adorned when young with superficial floccose scales. This section at present is represented in our State by two species only.

The densely tufted mode of growth and the grayish white, ob- scurely spotted pileus are distinguishing features of this species. From Hypholoma silvestre Gill. it may be separated by its smaller size, densely tufted mode of growth and adnexed lamellae with no rosy tint.

The dried specimens bear some resemblance to Hypholoma incertum Pk., but the ab- REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IQIO 81 sence of the hygrophanous character of the pileus, its smaller size and more fragile nature and its different habitat lead me to keep it separate. Velutina Pileus silky or streaked with innate fibrils, sometimes glabrous. The characters of this section, as given in Sylloge, would strictly admit only species having a silky or fibrillose pileus, but inasmuch as species like Hypholoma atrichum Berk. and H. castanophyllum Berk., of which the pileus is described as glabrous, have been admitted to it, we have extended the defini- tion to include glabrous species which in other respects belong here. The species of the section generally have the color of the spores darker than in the preceding sections. Therefore the color of the mature lamellae is almost or quite black and the spore print on white paper appears black or nearly so. On this account the species are liable at first sight to be referred to the black spored series. The shape’ and size of the spores are in some cases 1m- portant characters in distinguishing closely related species.

The genus may be separated from Psilocybe by the fragile character of the pileus and stem and by the straight appressed margin of the young pileus. It is divided into three sections, Conopileae, Obtusatae and Fibrillosae. Of the first section no representative has yet been found within our limits.

It is closely related to Psathyra corpiaomiee(eemeenee from which it may be separated by its much darker colored and striatulate moist pileus, atomate and with a white umbo when dry, less glabrous and more slender stem and broader spores. The umbo is very prominent and loses its moisture before the rest of the pileus. In consequence it becomes very conspicuous, appearing like a white knob in the midst of a dark background. Because of the fibrils on the margin of the pileus it is placed in this section though the fibrils are not always present. In the dried specimens the margin is sulcate striate. Psathyra vestita Pk.

Peck, State Botanist Museum Bulletin 157 REPORT OF STATE BOTANIST ort Dr John M. Clarke, Director of the State Museum: I have the honor of submitting the following report of work done in the botanical section of the State Museum during the past year. Specimens of plants for the State herbarium have been collected in the counties of Albany, Essex, Lewis, Oneida, Otsego, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Steuben and Warren. Specimens have been contributed by correspondents and others that were collected in the counties of Albany, Cattaraugus, Columbia, Cortland, Franklin, Fulton, Greene, Herkimer, Jefferson, Monroe, New York, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Orange, Orleans, Queens, Rensselaer, Richmond, Schenectady, Suffolk, Tompkins, Warren, Washington and Westchester. Extralimital specimens have been contributed that were collected in Alaska, California, Canada, Colorado, Connecticut, Cuba, Dela- ware, District of Columbia, Europe, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Mary- land, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington. The number of species of which specimens have been added to the herbarium is 283 of which 100 were not before represented in it. Of these, 28 are new or hitherto undescribed species. All of these are fungi. A list of the names of the added specimens is marked “ Plants added to the Herbarium.” The number of those who have contributed specimens is 74. This — includes those who sent specimens merely for identification, if the specimens were collected in our State and were in such condition 6 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM and of such character as to make them desirable additions to the herbarium. The number of persons for whom identifications have been made is 162. The number of identifications made is 1915. A list of the names of contributors and of their respective con- tributions is marked “ Contributors and their contributions.” The names of species new to our flora with their localities, time of collecting and remarks concerning them will be found in a chap- ter marked “‘ Species not before reported.” This includes species which may have been reported before as varieties of other species but which now are regarded as distinct species. Also descriptions of those regarded as new species. New localities of rare plants, new varieties and any facts of interest that may have been observed are given under the title “ Remarks and observations.” Many specimens of fungi collected outside of our State have been received for determination. When no description could be found to correspond to their characters they,» have been considered new species and names given to them and descriptions of them written. These will be found under the heading ‘“‘ New species and varieties of extralimital fungi.” Eight species and varieties of mushrooms have been tested for their edible qualities and approved. These added to those already known make the number of New York edible species and varieties of mushrooms now known, 213. One species previously reported as edible was found by Mr F: C. Stewart to have a bitter taste. It is the rooted collybia, Collybia radicata (Relh.) Fr.. In my trials of this species for its edi- bility no such flavor was observed. At my request Mr Stewart sent me specimens of this mushroom gathered in the locality from which the bitter ones came. These were cooked in the same manner as in my former trials. Their bitter flavor was verified: but no evil conse- quences resulted. It has been learned in this case that some mush- rooms, as well as apples and other fruits, may vary in flavor. When the bitter taste is mild it is not a serious objection to their edibility provided it is not distasteful to the eater and no evil consequences follow. Dandelions cooked as a pot-herb often have a decidedly bitter flavor which to some persons is not at all objectionable and may even be considered as valuable because indicating tonic properties. Two trips have been made in my efforts to locate and investigate the chestnut bark disease. Having learned by report that this REPORT OF THE STATE LBOTANIST IQITI Vi disease was supposed to have attacked the chestnut trees about Cooperstown, that locality was visited and under the guidance of one familiar with the locality and interested in the woodland sup- posed to be affected, a careful search for it was made. No evidences ef the presence of the fungus that causes the chestnut bark disease were found either in the standing trees or in the branches, stumps and young shoots of trees that had been cut because they were sup- posed to have been attacked by it. The real cause of the trouble was not satisfactorily ascertained, but it seemed probable that the severe drouths of three preceding seasons may have contributed to the trouble. Having heard that the disease was advancing northward from New York City through the counties along the east bank of the Hudson river, and had already reached Columbia county, a visit was made to the town of Sand Lake in Rensselaer county. Chestnut trees are common in the woods of that region but my efforts to find there any evidences of the fungus that causes the chestnut bark disease were wholly unsuccessful. Subsequent investigations by others have indicated its presence in both the southern and northern part of the county. In this case as in others a new attack appears to have been made in places widely separated from any others. In this respect the disease is specially dangerous, the germs or spores being evidently carried by insects, birds or some other agent than winds. It is therefore of the utmost importance that a close watch be kept for the appearance of the disease wherever chestnut trees abound and that trees found affected by it should be cut and their bark burned as soon as possible. The spread of the disease has been so rapid and its work so virulent during the two years past that constant watchfulness and prompt action whenever it appears are essential to its suppression. It is probable that this destructive out- break of this remarkable disease is sporadic and brought about by an unusual combination of favoring circumstances and will not long continue to be so destructive. Nature generally finds some way to check such extraordinary action and restore the equilibrium of her forces, but sometimes the proper conditions are not restored till after great damage has been done. It will not do therefore to sit quietly down and wait for such a consummation. We may by prompt and judicious action aid the natural processes and thereby diminish and shorten the ravages of the evil. In continuance of my investigation of the marsh flora of the Adirondacks, Peacock marsh in the town of North Elba was visited. It is located about three miles south of Lake Placid and nearly east 8 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM from Averyville. The visit was made in June and owing to the early time in the season it is probable that some plants which occur later were not seen. A list of those seen will be found in the chapter designated ‘‘ Remarks and observations.” It is interesting to note the seasonal influences on plants and their similar results on our cultivated plants and wild mushrooms. In the eastern part of the State the prevailing low temperature in the spring retarded the development of vegetation and kept back the blossoming of the early varieties of fruit trees. Then a somewhat abrupt change to warmer weather caused these and later varieties to blossom more nearly simultaneously than usual. The early Rich- mond cherry and the Montmorency commonly have an interval of about ten days between their times of flowering. This year that interval was only two or three days. Pear trees, plum trees and cherry trees were in blossom nearly at the same time and apple trees quickly succeeded them. The resulting fruit crop was abundant and matured early. In midseason a long period of dry hot weather kept back the development of those species of mushrooms that com- monly appear at this time of the year. It was a rare thing to find one. They were extremely scarce even in swamps and wet places. Several correspondents wrote that they never before knew mush- rooms to be so scarce. One correspondent says, “ On account of the drouth this has been the poorest season for fungi I have known in twenty-five years. Not a single morel could I find.” This condition continued longer in some places than in others. Where plenteous rains came toward the end of the season mushrooms began to appear. In the vicinity of New York City rain fell abundantly during a whole week. This effectually broke the drouth and soon a crop of mushrooms began to appear. Summer and autumn species came up together and by their great variety and united numbers made such a crop as is rarely seen. In some places the ground appeared as if it was almost covered with them. One correspondent says, “the Long Island woods are full of mushrooms. It seems that almost every step reveals some different species.”: Others represent their abundance as so great that they could be gathered by the bushel. One says that a friend who had been out collecting mushrooms brought in half a bushel of Tricholoma personatum Fr. This abundance has extended to other states than our own and has induced people to gather them for food more freely and in greater quantity than usual. As a con- sequence more accidents and deaths from eating poisonous mush- REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IQII 9 rooms have been reported than usual. In New York City and vicinity it is reported that more than thirty deaths from this cause have taken place. It is affirmed however that nearly all these were among foreign born people who have doubtless mistaken poisonous species for the European species they were accustomed to eat in their own country. Native American people generally have a proper sense of the danger of rashly eating mushrooms whose edible qualities are unknown to them and are prudent enough to avoid doing it. In European countries the ignorant are to some extent protected from such danger by an inspector of the markets who permits to be sold only those mushrooms known to be edible. It is possible that poverty combined with the high cost of living may have been a source of danger in some cases of mushroom poisoning. An instance was reported to me of a poor family in which the mother and two children were poisoned. The mother recovered but the children died. An enthusiastic mycologist living in the vicinity of the place where this accident occurred began an investigation of the case in an attempt to learn what mushroom caused the sickness. Enough was learned from the mother to indi- cate that the mushroom chiefly eaten was one known by the name autumn pholiota, Pholiota autumnalis Pk. This was not known to mycologists to be an unwholesome species, but apparently impelled by hunger the family had collected a considerable quantity of it, cooked and ate it. The mother ate about a pint, the boy about the same quantity and the girl somewhat less. All were made sick and after several hours delay a physician was called. The result was as above stated. The flavor of the mushroom is not specially entic- ing and I can see no reason why they should have eaten so much of it unless they were impelled by hunger. An excessive quantity of a good mushroom may be harmful, but of a bad one it would be still worse. The mycologist who investigated the case learned by sub- sequent experiment that this is a noxious species and though it may not always be fatal it should be rigidly avoided. It is at least unwholesome. Besides the abundance of the crop caused by the concentration of summer and autumn species the appearance at such a time of species not before recorded as growing out of season is remarkable. Morels are among the most constant spring and early summer growers. I have not before known them to appear at any other time. One correspondent writing after the morel season had passed says, “I have not been able to find a single morel this season.” My own experience was similar to his. Evidently the cold spring time IO NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM immediately followed by dry weather suppressed the crop of morels. The moderately warm and moist fall weather, however, gave oppor- tunity for a crop of morels in a limited station near Boston, Mass. Specimens were collected and some of them sent to me by Mrs U. C. Sherman with the inquiry if it was not unusual for morels to appear in autumn. An examination of them showed a very close relation- ship to the conic morel. They differed in a few minor characters from the conic morel, Morchella conica Pers., but most of all in their time of appearance. This is probably due to the peculiar weather conditions of this season, nevertheless it seemed best in view of the minor differences and the very unusual time of its appearance to designate it by the varietal name which will be found in its proper place in this report. Some seasons seem to be specially favorable to the development of the species of certain genera. In one season species of Hygrophorus will be abundant, in another many species of Lepiota will be seen and in another, species of Lactarius will appear to be unusually common. This year specimens of more species of Tricholoma have been received by me from correspondents during September, Octo- ber and November than in any other previous year. This indicates to me that the latter part of the season has been unusually favorable to the development of species of Tricholoma. The custom of issuing generic monographs of New York species has been continued. Revised descriptions of New York species of the genera Clitocybe, Laccaria and Psilocybe have been prepared and arranged as far as practicable according to the Friesian system as given in Sylloge. To meet the requirements of the rules of the International Botanical Congress of 1905 Latin descriptions of the new species and varieties herein reported have been written. My assistant, Mr S. H. Burnham, has performed his clerical duties with noteworthy faithfulness, doing all the typewriting of the office, attending to the arrangement, mounting and labeling of speci- mens, aiding in the identification of specimens sent for that purpose, and in conducting the correspondence. In addition to this he has improved his opportunities during holiday and vacation periods in collecting specimens and in making many valuable additions to the herbarium.

This species is readily distin- guished from Acer rubrum L., the red maple, when in fruit. The wings are nearly parallel or convergent, but in the red maple they are divergent. They are also nearly or quite fully developed when the leaves are yet partly expanded. The leaves are usually only three lobed and are more hairy, specially beneath, than in the red maple. On account of the three lobed leaves it was named Acer rubrum var. tridens in Wood’s Class Book of Botany It has generally been neglected by botanists but it certainly seems worthy of recognition. The station here reported is the only one in our State known to me and is north of its previously recorded range.

Pileus 5-12 cm broad; stem 2.5-12 cm long, 7-15 mm thick. Orient Point. October. R. Latham. Specimens have also been received with copious notes from W. H. Ballou ‘for whom the species is named. They were collected in groves at or near Deal seach, N. J. It is said to be common in Monmouth co., N. J. This is a beautiful species apparently related to Boletus subsan- guinetus Pk. from which it differs in its dry pileus with its REPORT OF THE STATE ROTANIST IQII 23 orange color changing to brown, in its whitish tubes and in its stem approaching the pileus in color. Camarosporium maclurae n. sp.

Leaves of Indian poke, Veratrum viride Ait. Edwards, St Lawrence co. May. This species is closely related to Cercosporella veratri Pk. from which it is easily distinguished by its earlier appearance and by the different character of the spots. Their habit of becoming confluent and discoloring the whole apex of the leaf has suggested the specific name. Notwithstanding the obscure character of the hyphae, a careful search even in young and slightly discolored spots failed to detect any acervull. Clavaria subtilis Pers.

This species is related to Flammula spumosa Fr. with which it has probably been confused but from which it is easily distinguished by its place of growth, its more cespitose mode of growth, the uniform pale yellow color, fibrillose margin of the pileus, white flesh and larger spores. Its color is suggestive of F. alnicola Fr., but it is readily separated from that by its place of growth, white flesh and viscid hygrophanous pileus. It is worthy of remark that this species has appeared for the first time this season in four distinct localities and in each one under or near apple trees. Fusarium pirinum (Fr.) Sacc.

This species is remarkable for the change in form in passing from youth to old age, and also for the change in color of the lamellae. The pileus sometimes has a moist sodden appearance as if water- soaked. The mycelioid tomentum at the base of the stem causes a mass of decaying vegetable matter to adhere closely to the stem when pulled from its place of growth. Clitocybe odora (Bull.) Sow.

We have not found the typical form with lamellae “not close.” In all our specimens reported under the names Agaricus virens Scop. and A. odorus Bull. or their equivalents C1li- toey he virens: (Scop:) and Clitocybe odora )(bull) Sow. the lamellae are close and white or whitish and the stem is ‘ 66 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM either solid, stuffed or hollow. Even in the same collection we have found some of the stems solid and some decidedly hollow. All our collections of these had the agreeable odor ascribed to C. odora. We have therefore followed the English mycologists in not trying to make a distinction between C. virens Scop. or its equivalent C. viridis Fr. and C. odora. We consider all of ouriplants as a mere form of C. odora differing from the European species enly in having the lamellae close.

Still further investigation leads me to consider it worthy of specific distinction. Dr W. W. Ford has found it sufficiently toxic to cause the death of frogs, rabbits and guinea pigs, though it may be eaten by man in moderate quantity with no more serious results than a profuse perspiration, sometimes continuing five or six hours. It should be considered medicinal and unwholesome and avoided as an article of food. Clitocybe truncicola Pk. TRUNK INHABITING CLITOCYBE N. Y. State Mus.

At the contracted part and for a short distance north of it the river runs close to the margin of the forest on the eastern side, leaving most of the marsh here on the west side of the river. In the rest of the marsh the river is more central. This marsh is peculiar in having the two parts wholly unlike in character and representative of two different kinds of marsh. The northern part 1s a shrubby marsh. Low shrubs like Labrador tea, sheep laurel, pale laurel, bog rosemary and leather leaf have taken almost complete possession. The usual marsh herbs are nearly extermi- nated except along the banks of the river and in a few low places. The sphagnum has a dwarf, starved appearance and is evidently struggling for existence. A few dwarf, unthrifty black spruce and tamarack trees are scattered here and there over this part of the marsh. The balsam fir is strangely absent from the open space, but it occurs sparingly along the margin. It is apparently less fitted to endure the unfavorable conditions of the marsh than either the black spruce or the tamarack. The southern part is a grassy marsh. It is locally known as a “beaver meadow.” It is mostly occupied by grasses and sedges. Blue joint grass, Calamagrostis canadensis (Mx.) Bv. and slender sedge, Carex filiformis L. are the prevailing species. They are so abundant that in past times it was customary to mow this part of the marsh and stack the hay till winter when it would be possible to draw it away and make use of it. The scaffoldings of the stacks are still in place, but as this marsh hay is of inferior quality it is not now gathered, other hay of better quality being available. It is remarkable that not a single example of the slender sedge gave any evidence of having borne fruit this season. My visit was too late in the season to find fruit on the plant, but a careful search for old fruit-bearing stems was vain. Possibly the previous cuttings of the plants weakened their fruiting capacity till now they depend entirely on offshoots or stolons for propagation. On the contrary, the blue joint grass was fruiting freely. The grassy marsh, like the open prairie, appears to be unfavor- able to the production of trees. No spruce or tamarack trees were€ seen in this part of the marsh. Even the shrubs that are so abund- ant in the northern part are mostly wanting here. Those that dec appear are chiefly along or near the river. REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IQIO Fal The number of species of flowering plants and ferns found in this marsh is 57. This is considerably less than the number found in Cranberry marsh, though the area of the marsh is apparently more than twice as large. On the other hand, but one visit was made here and that so late in the season that probably some early flowering herbaceous species were overlooked. A list of the names of the species found in each marsh is given below. It will be seen that 33 species are common to both marshes. This is more than half the number of species found in Averyville marsh. These are species likely to be found in most of our larger cold sphagnum bogs and marshes. They are the active agents in the formation of peat beds and in preparing the marsh for the habitation of the larger shrubs and trees. are the forerunners of swamps, the trees and shrubs of which, in turn, prepare the way for productive lowland meadows and truck gardens. Of the 33 species common to the two marshes 15, or nearly half, are trees or shrubs. This indicates an advanced stage of the marshes toward a wooded swamp. In Bonaparte swamp the number of trees and shrubs is 29, in Cranberry marsh 20, in Avery- ville marsh 2r. The number of species common to the three marshes is 19.

These conditions doubtless had some influence in causing the irregular, tufted mode of growth. The pure whiteness, thin pileus and the farinaceous taste and odor indicate a relationship with Clitocybe dealbata Sow. so intimate that it is recorded as a variety of it. That species is also sometimes found growing on mushroom beds. 74 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Difformes Pileus fleshy on the disk, thin on the margin, convex becoming expanded or centrally depressed, often irregular; lamellae irregu- larly adnate or decurrent; stem externally subcartilaginous, fibrous, commonly cespitose. This section is easily recognized by its cespitose habit and the irregular character of the lamellae which are sometimes adnexed or sinuate on one side of the stem and decurrent on the other. The pileus is often irregular because of the crowded or tufted mode of growth. It is also sometimes umbonate and sometimes obtuse even in the same tuft. The stem too may be central or eccentric in the same tuft or the plant may sometimes be solitary.

Pileus 7-12 cm broad; stem 7-14 cm long, 6-12 mm thick. Cespitose. Woods and open places. Often about old stumps. July to October. A beautiful but unwholesome species. It causes nausea and vomit- ing if eaten. It is possible to make it comparatively harmless by heating it in salt water for a half hour, then taking it out and frying it in butter. It is phosphorescent. Large fresh specimens when placed in a dark place emit a glowing light. Clitocybe marmorea Pk. MOTTLED CLITOCYBE N. Y. State Mus.

Pileus 2.5-7 cm broad; stem 5-10 cm long, 6-12 mm thick. Cespitose, rarely solitary. Open ground or in grassy places. June to October. Common. Edible. The tufts may be composed of many or few individuals. The lamellae are sometimes sinuate on one side of the stem, thereby indicating a close relationship with the genus Tricholoma. In var. tricholoma Pk. nearly or quite all the lamellae are sinuate. Such specimens might easily be referred to that genus, but the habit and all other characters indicate its place here. The flavor of the uncooked mushroom varies. In some it is very disagreeable, in others but slightly so. Some pronounce it among the best of mush- rooms when cooked, others say it is unfit to eat. Infundibuliformes Pileus becoming infundibuliform or evenly depressed or umbili- cate in the center; lamellae deeply and evenly decurrent from the first; stem spongy, externally fibrous. The funnel form pileus is characteristic of many of the species of this section and is suggestive of its name. The lamellae are equally decurrent, unlike, in this respect, those of the preceding section. The pileus is not truly hygrophanous, but in some species it is moist or subhygrophanous and becomes paler with the escape of the moisture, in others it is dry.

Pileus convex becoming umbilicate or depressed, flesh thin; lamellae broadly adnate, sometimes with a decurrent tooth, becom- ing mealy with the copious subglobose minutely warted white spores ; stem central, externally fibrous, veil not evident. The species of this genus have generally been included in Clito- cybe, but they are so peculiar in their general appearance that it seems best to separate them. The lamellae are rather thick and subdistant broadly adnate and when mature are powdered or whitish pruinose from the abundant spores. These are typically globose or nearly so and rough. We have included one species in this genus that has oblong even spores; but.in all other respects it is so closely allied to the genus that it seems best to consider the spore character a specific rather than a generic one.

It usually forms a single large yellowish or reddish yellow spot on a leaf. A single cluster of cups commonly occupies each spot. Agrostis borealis Hartm. Along McIntyre brook, Adirondack mountains. July. This is an unusual form having the awn of the spikelet short and not ex- serted. Boletus scaber Fr. In this species the hymenium or mass of tubes is usually more or less depressed around the stem. In three specimens collected in Rosedale, Long Island, by F. H. Ames the tubes are adnate at first and then in drying separate from the stem carrying with them a thin layer of the external coating, thereby forming. a cuplike depression about its insertion.

Cynanchum nigrum (L.) Pers. The black swallowwort is abundant near Rochester not far from Cobbs Hill reservoir. It usually grows in small patches of six to ten feet in diameter. The pods often divaricate in such a way as to give a somewhat stellate appearance to their arrangement. REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST [912 (os) st Cytospora chrysosperma (Pers.) Fr.

Pileus uniformly yellow; otherwise as in the type. In marshy woods. Karner, Albany co. July. Fomitiporia prunicola Murr. A form of this species which usually grows on trunks of wild bird cherry or pin cherry, Prunus pennsylvanicaL., was found growing on a trunk of the canoe birch, Betula alba papyrifera (Marsh.) Spach, in the Adirondack mountains. The form growing on canoe birch was not distinguishable in any way from that on cherry. It might be called Fomitiporia Peni cola tf. betul,cofa - Habenaria fimbriata (Ait.) R. Br. This large and fine purple-fringed orchis is remarkable for the durability of its flowers. A vase of the cut flowers has been known to remain perfectly fresh in appearance, at least ten days, with no other care than an occasional supply of fresh water. This is remark- able since its natural habitat is in wet marshy ground and often in the shade of trees. It is not rare in wooded marshes at North Elba. If a suitable habitat could be furnished it would make a fine addition to the ornamental plants of parks and gardens. Ilex monticola Gray Woodsworth lake, Fulton county. June. C. P. Alexander. This is an outlying station about seventy-five miles north and west of its nearest previously recorded localities, Taconic, Shawangunk and Catskill mountains, Gray’s new Manual mentions Cattaraugus county also as a station for it, but this is apparently a far western outlying station. Jeffersonia diphylla (L.) Pers. Moist woods. Pittsford. Fine flowering specimens of this rare plant were collected April 15th and contributed by M. S. Baxter. He also contributed a fine fruiting specimen from High island, Potomac river, Maryland. » 36 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Lonicera hirsuta Eaton This pretty, climbing shrub sometimes attains a comparatively large size. An example was observed in North Elba with the shrub approximately 2 cm in diameter and 3 or 4 m tall. Pholiota cerasina Pk. Specimens of this rare species were collected in Inlet, Hamilton co. and contributed by F. C. Stewart. It is peculiar in its cherry- like odor by which it is easily recognized. Picea canadensis ( Mill.) BSP. Cambridge water works swamp, Washington co. July. F. Dob- bin and S. H. Burnham. This swamp is a large one, covering an area of approximately one square mile and the stream flowing through it is fed by cold springs which probably aid in making it a suitable habitat for this northern cold-loving spruce. This is doubtless the southern limit for it in our State and an outlying station in which it has been able to maintain itself by reason of the cold character of the soil. Nevertheless the shortness of the leaves of these specimens indicate that its environment here is not favor- able to its most vigorous development. Still it bears cones though not of large size. Pleurotus ostreatus magnificus n. var. Pileus very large, 12-30 cm broad, glabrous, often pitted toward the margin, pallid or subalutaceous ; lamellae whitish, anastomosing at the base; stem 5 to 10 cm long, eccentric, strigose, variable, whitish ; spores 10-14 x 4-5 p.

Polystichum braunii (Spenner) Fee A new station for this rare fern has been discovered in our State by Edgar Tweedy, a lover of both plants and birds. It is in North Elba and is at present its most northern New York station known to me. It had previously been found in several places in the Catskill mountains, also near Summit, Schoharie co., and Hague, REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST 1912 37 Warren co. It is limited in quantity in the North Elba locality and it is hoped that any one finding it will be careful not to exhaust the locality. Seligeria pusilla B. & S. Limestone rocks. Chilson lake, Essex co. Mrs N. L. Britton. This is the second New York locality for this very rare little moss. Senecio robbinsii Oakes The Robbins’ ragwort has become very abundant in some of the low wet meadows in North Elba and constitutes a large percentage of the hay cut from them. It is uniformly spread over the meadows and when in flower gives to them a more subdued yellow hue than the common buttercup gives to drier meadows earlier in the season. Serapias helleborine L. This rare and somewhat local plant occurs in many places in deep woods in Monroe county. The suggestion that it may have been introduced for medicinal purposes does not seem to be well sustained, since inquiry by a resident of the locality among some of the oldest inhabitants there failed to elicit any evidence to sub- stantiate such a supposition. A fine, unusually heavy, fruited form of the species was found growing in dense woods along the banks of the Genesee river below Rochester by M. S. Baxter. Trillium grandiflorum (Mx.) Salisb. A “ double flowered ” form of this beautiful trillium has appeared several years near Howes Cave and is apparently permanently estab- lished. It has three whorls of petals beside the calyx lobes, but no stamens or pistils. It is needless to say that it bears no fruit, as all the essential organs of the flower are transformed into petals. It was discovered there in May by F. W. Kelley of Albany who has kindly contributed a specimen to the herbarium. 38 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM NEW SPECIES OF EXTRALIMITAL FUNGI | Asteromella asteris Perithecia superficial, epiphyllous, densely cespitose, seated on an obscure thin brown crust, globose, about .25 mm broad, black, the tufts about 1 mm broad; spores minute, oblong or subcylindric, con- tinuous, hyaline, 6-8 x 2-2.5 w, sporophores minute or obsolete.

Gregarious. Low ground under trees. Stow, Mass. September. S. Davis. This slender species closely approaches some species of Leptonia in general appearance. This character has suggested the specific name. The more or less decurrent lamellae throw the species into the genus Clitopilus. It differs from Clitopilus vilis Fr. by the color of the pileus and by its larger spores, and from C.subvilis Pk. by the color of the pileus and its squamulose center. In the dried state the pileus and stem are black and the margin of the pileus is sulcate striate.

OVOID AMANITA Plate 131 Pileus fleshy, hemispheric or expanded, glabrous, inflexed on the margin, pure white, flesh white, taste insipid; lamellae rather broad, subclose, ventricose, free or nearly so, white; stem equal or tapering upward, squamulose farinaceous, solid, firm, white without and within, bulbous at the base, annulate above; spores globose or subglobose, 10-12 x Q-IT yp or about 10 p» broad. The ovoid amanita is a large, attractive and noble looking spe- cies. It is pure white throughout with the exception of the volva that envelops the bulbous base of the stem. This is slightly tinged with pink. The cap may range from 4 to 8 inches broad, the stem from 4 to 6 inches long and 6 to 12 lines thick. Vhe cap is very smooth, almost glossy, and white as snow. The flesh also is white but its taste is insipid, and in cooking it is necessary to season it well with butter and salt to make it satisfactorily palatable. The stem is firm, solid, more or less mealy externally and pure white. The species is very rare having not before been found in our State so far as I know. In Sylloge, volume V, page 9, Professor Saccardo remarks that he has never seen its spores nor has anyone else so far as he knows. This remark no longer holds good. The New York specimens yielded spores. Since the species is cogeneric with some of our most poisonous species of mushrooms, we advise no one to try its edibility unless perfectly sure of its identity. Tricholoma chrysenteroides Pk.

It was found growing under poplar trees among fallen leaves at Vaughns in Septem- ber. When cooked it has an agreeable flavor but old specimens are liable to be somewhat tough, though still very palatable. POISONOUS FUNGI Mycena splendidipes Pk. POISON MYCENA Plate X Pileus at first ellipsoid, even, the upper half brown, the lower half yellow, at length hemispheric or convex, submembranous, widely striate on the margin, glabrous, greenish gray; lamellae ascending, subdistant, white; stem slender, hollow, glabrous, bright shining lemon yellow ; spores broadly ellipsoid or subglo- bose, 6-8 x 4-6 up. Pileus 6-10 lines broad; stem 2-6 inches long, .5-1 line thick. Woods. Among fallen pine leaves. Richmond co. Novem- ber.’ W.-H. Ballon: This is a beautiful little Mycena, very attractive in appearance by reason of its bright shining yellow stems and very interesting on account of the great change in appearance caused by its transformation from the young to the mature state. This is best expressed by the figures given in the plate. It is a veritable little siren. Its discoverer, venturing to eat a single sample of it was made sick by the experiment, and has furnished a warn- ing to all future generations against its dangerous qualities. REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IQI2 53 CRATABRGUS IN NEWGY ORK So much has been learned of the characters and distribution of the different species of Crataegus in New York during the last three or four years through the collections and observations of a number of students of these plants that it now seems desirable to join in a brief summary this information with that contained in the various publications on the subject which have appeared in the last ten years. In western New York Crataegus has been more systematically and carefully collected and studied than in any other part of North America, but there is still much field work to be done be- fore the species of the eastern, southern and central parts of the State are equally well known, and it is hoped that the publica- tion of this synopsis of the work already accomplished may lead to further investigations and collections.
