INTRODUCTION

At the request of the late Mr. James M. Macoun, I undertook the study
of the fungi collected by the naturalists of the Southern Party of the Canadian
Arctic expedition. Mr. Frits Johansen had collected about thirty species,
storing the fleshy ones in alcohol and preserving the others dry.

In addition to the examination of these I have been afforded the opportunity
to examine the collections of phanerogams for fungi that might be found in-
habiting them. This experience was interesting in several ways. I was surprised
at the relatively small number of ‘‘summer stages” of parasitic fungi. On an
equal number of affected flowering plants collected in the southern latitudes
of Canada there would be a large majority of examples of the stage of fungi
reproducing by conidia or “‘summer spores”? of some kind. Most of the fungi
inhabiting the arctic plants were found only in the ascigerous or mature condition.

Another unexpected difference appeared in the wider range of host plants
inhabited by the same fungus species. In the south, as a rule, one fungus at
a time inhabits one host plant; in the north, it was not uncommon to find
two or three micromycetes on the same individual host plant, especially on those
plants that grow in dense rosettes or in the pillar form. On the latter the leaves,
though winter-killed or dead, remain firmly attached to the plant for years and
doubtless afford it protection. Fungi thus have the opportunity to become
established on a plant in successive years. Parasitism does not seem to play
much part. There, as here, the mature stage of the fungus seems to be quite
saprophytic or, at worst, invading the tissue only when its vitality languishes.
At Mr. Macoun’s suggestion I have mide notes of the findings in the important
orders of the fungi listed in the available reports of the flora of American arctic
regions, other than the one explored by the Canadian expedition. For that
purpose the following reports were used:!

Meddelelser om Groenland, Bind III, Copenhagen, 1880, containing
Oversigt ov Svampe by E. Rostrup, 1888, and Tillaeg, 1891, by the
same author.

Meddelelser om Groenland, Bind XVIII, Copenhagen, 1896, containing
Oest Groenlands Svampe by E. Rostrup, 1894, and Champignons du
Groenland Oriental.

Meddelelser om Groenland, Bind XXX, Copenhagen, 1907-1911, containing
Fungi Groenlandiae Orientalis in Expeditionibus 1898-1902. Determ.
E. Rostrup, 1904.

Meddelelser om Groenland, Bind XLIII, Copenhagen, 1911-1917, con-
taining Fungi Terrestres north of 76° N. Lat. Determ. C. Ferdinandsen,
and Systematic List of Micromycetes, Determ. J. Lind. (The speci-
mens were collected 1906-1908).

The Nares Expedition on the Alert and Discovery, 1875-76, containing
enumeration of the Fungi by Rev. M. J. Berkeley, published in the
Journal of the Linnean Society, 1878.

Harriman Alaska Expedition, 1899, Vol. V, containing Cryptogamic Botany
of Alaska, by William Trelease, New York, 1904.

1In the Report of the International Polar Expedition to Point Barrow, Alaska, Washington, 1885, p. 192, Prof. Asa
Gray, in a brief report on the Plants, states: ‘‘There was a quantity of fungi preserved in a jar of alcohol, but without
notes of color, habit, etc., 80 that the specific determination is in their present state impossible. The specimens, as far
as could be told, seemed to include two species of Agaricus and one of Russula.””

Some Alaskan and Yukon Rusts, The Plant World, Vol. 14, 233, 1911, by
J. C. Arthur.

So far as I know these are the only reports upon collections of American
arctic fungi. There have been other collections of phanerogamous plants but
usually if the collectors of such plants are not looking for fungi they remove
discoloured and deformed parts when they do not or cannot select clean, healthy-
looking specimens.

Anyone who has observed the greatly varied and abundant fungus flora of
rich woods in southern Canada and contrasted it with the scanty and poorly
developed flora in an exposed and comparatively arid region is prepared to
believe that within the Arctic circle the fungi will be very meagerly represented.

In the report on the cryptogamic botany of Alaska published for the Harri-
man Alaska Expedition in 1903-04, the editor, Dr. William Trelease, notes that
up to that time only 14 species of fungi had been listed.1. Commenting thereupon,
he says: ‘The fact remains that almost nothing is known of the fungus flora of
Alaska and yet conditions are favourable for a development there of a large
representation of this group of plants.’ He referred to the rainfall and fogs
and mists common on the long coastal region favouring as they do a large and
varied phanerogamic vegetation. Besides, the lower coast of Alaska from Sitka
and Yakutat to Kadiak, where much of the Harriman expedition’s collecting
was done, is nearly 500 miles south of the Arctic circle. That so few Alaskan
fungi had been enumerated prior to 1900 is the more surprising in view of the
fact that at the same date no less than 386 Alaskan species and varieties of their
congeners—the lichens—had been listed?

Greenland’s long coast-line both on the east and west sides has been explored
at many points by scientists connected with several Danish and other expedi-
tions; and while, doubtless, there will yet be important additions made, its
fungus flora is much more completely studied than that of any other extensive
region of arctic America. In making comparisons it must be borne in mind,
however, that its southern point is more than 450 miles south of the Arctic circle.

Fungi 5c

The collections enumerated in this report were made between lat. 67° N.
and lat 77° N., chiefly along the northern coast-line of the Yukon and Mackenzie
districts; the positions of most of the localities are stated in the introduction
to Part A of Vol. V. The median line of the chief collecting points runs from
near Point Barrow to Bathurst inlet, a distance, following the coast, of over 1,200
miles and averaging about 150 miles north of the Arctic circle. The collections
made in the territory near the mouth of the Sadlerochit river andin the northeast
corner of Alaska are not separated in the above table from the strictly Canadian
ones.

The time and locality of collection of the plants herein listed are given as
exactly as the available data permitted, and, further to identify the particular
plant on which the micromycete was observed, the number of the plant as
preserved in the National Herbarium, Victoria Memorial Museum, Ottawa,
is added. Thus under Pleospora arctica, 98416 is the herbarium number of the
particular specimen of Oxytropis campestris var. sordida upon which this fungus
was studied.

Mr. Frits Johansen was the collector in all instances where no other name
is given.

6c Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18

The Fungi of the Arctic Coast of America West of the
100th Meridian

Collected by the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18

By Joun Drarness, M.A.
MYXOMYCETES.

No Myxomycetes were collected by the Canadian Arctic expedition. One
species was found by the Harriman Alaska expedition. In the consulted reports
of the Greenland expeditions six myxomycetes are listed.

PHYCOMYCETES.

The Phycomycetes, including the Mucors, Peronogpores, and about a
dozen other less important families, must be rare in the arctic regions, for only
five species are named in the Alaska report, and seven species in the Greenland
lists. None were collected by the Canadian Arctic expedition.

ASCOMYCETES.
SORDARIACEAE.

No species of this interesting family were brought back. They are small
plants, nearly all of them growing in the ordure of animals. It is extremely
probable that several of them are existent in the territory. In the Amdrup expedi-
tion to northeast Greenland, between 69° and 74.30° N. lat., N. Hartz found
no less than nine different species growing in the droppings of animals, four
of them in Sordarieae and three in Ascoboleae.

SPHAERIACEAE.

Gnomonia sp.
On leaves of Salix Richardsonit Hook. Camden bay, Sept. 1913, 93802.
Beak 400-500 yu long, slightly enlarged at ostiole. Too old or too imperfectly
developed to determine the species.

Mycosphaerella confinis (Karst.)
Sphaerella confinis Karst. Myc. Fenn. II, p. 179.

On leaves of Anemone parviflora Michx. Bernard harbour, July 4, 1915,
97828.

Mycosphaerella eriophila (Niessl)
Sphaerella eriophila Niessl. Neue Kernp. p. 86.
On Erigeron compositus Pursh. Bernard harbour, July 10, 1915, 98960.
This species was found on the same host in Greenland. It is reported
on Artemisia in western Alaska. Doubtless it is a common arctic species.

Mycosphaerella immersa n. sp.

Peritheciis immersis, ostiolis erumpentibus, 270 win diam. Ascis 75 x 9-10 y,
aparaphysatis. Sporidiis uniseriatis, hyalinis, ellipticis, uniseptatis, non con-
strictis, 15 x 8 yu.

Fungi 7c

In foliis Cassiopis tetragonae (L.) Don.

Perithecia deeply immersed in the leaves, only the ostiola erumpent, 270 u
in diameter. Asci 75 x 9-10 uw, aparaphysate. Bpemala not constricted, uniseriate,
hyaline, elliptic, uniformly 15 x 8 uy.

On leaves of Cassiope tetragona (L.) Don. Camden bay, July 2, 1914, 98763.

Mycosphaerella inconspicua (Schroet.)
Sphaerella inconspicua Schroet. Nord. Pilze, p. 12.

On leaves and flower stems of Casstope tetragona (L.) Don. Bernard harbour,
August, 1915, 98762.

The species is common on this host.

Mycosphaerella minor (Karst.)
Sphaerella minor Karst. Myc. Fenn. 11, 171.

On leaves of Dodecatheon frigidum Cham. and Schlecht. Shingle point,
Mackenzie river delta, August 4, 1914, J. R. Cox and J. J. O’Neill, 98824.

Gregarious, connected at base by radiating hyphae. Asci 30-33 wu; sporidia
9-12 x3 pn.

A form of this species on Saaxzfraga, having larger fruit—asci about 50 x 15 p
and sporidia 15-18 x 5 w—and a brown subiculum visibly colouring the affected
areas of the leaf and connecting the species with Sphaerella trichophila Karst.,
was described in Mycologia IX, 346. The distinction between the two species
seems to hinge on the bristly appendages and the size of the fruit. On the
collections in hand considerable difference in these features are found on the
same host plant, making it difficult to determine to which species the Honan
should be referred.

On Sazifraga Nelsoniana D. Don. Camden bay, June 7, 1914.

Mycosphaerella minor (Karst.) var. reticulata n. var.

Peritheciis 75-140 » ad subiculum. <Ascis 50-65 x 10-15 u. Sporidiis 15-16
x 4-5 yp.

In foliis mortuis Salicts reticulatae L.

The radiating, brown, septate, branching fibers bearing the gregarious
perithecia are innate and raise the cuticle on the lower side of the leaf into areas
of ashen colour 2-4 mm. in diameter. These areas are quite opaque when held
against the light. Some of the perithecia are bristly, suggesting the characters
of Venturia. These were described in 1917 and published in Mycologia IX: 347
under the name of Venturia subcutanea. Subsequent examination of additional
material showed forms approaching Karsten’s Sphaerella minor in habit and
structure but with larger perithecia, asci and sporidia. The smoother and smaller
perithecia are much like those of M ycosphaerella minor but the fructification is
generally larger and the subiculum denser. The largest and most bristly peri-
thecia might be taken for Mycosphaerella trichophila (Karst.) which is also
innate and subiculate. It is intermediate between them but all things considered
it seems nearer to M. minor and in the meantime is disposed of as a variety of
that species. Further study of sufficient material may yet show it to be a
distinct species.

On leaves of Salix reticulata L. Camden bay, June 29, 1914.

Mycosphaerella prope oothecam (Sacc.)
Sphaerella ootheca Sacc.

On leaves and peduncles of Ranunculus afimis R. Br. Bernard harbour,
July 12, 1915, 97920.

The ascl and sporidia are so variable on this material that the determination
of the species is uncertain. A Rhabdospora near Drabae (Fuckl.) and Pleospora
vulgaris Niessl were also present on this collection of Ranunculus affinis.

Judging from the Greenland reports and that of the Fram expedition, this
fungus is the one most commonly found on the grasses of our northeast arctic
region.

Physalospora Crepiniana Sacc. and March.
On Empetrum nigrum L Herschel island, July 29, 1916, 98781.
Perithecia are hypophyllous. Asci paraphysate, 60-75 wu. Ascospores 18-21

tatis, 33-45 x 18-25 yw. Sporidiis sub-biseriatis congregatisve, uniseptatis,
hyalinis denique fuligineis, 12-16 x 4.5-6 u.

In foliis et petiolis Mertensiae maritimae (L.) 8S. F. Gray.

Perithecia hypophyllous, thickly scattered, immersed, globose, about 100 uz
in diameter; ostiola emergent, perforate. Asci sub-globate to clavate, sometimes
widest near the short-stipitate base, 33-45 x 18-25 uw. Sporidia biseriate to
congregate, uniseptate, hyaline at first, becoming fuliginous, 12-16 x 4.5-6 u,
mostly 15 x5». When immature this species would be taken for a Mycosphaer-
ella.

On leaves and petioles of Mertensia maritima (L.) 8. F. Gray. Spy island,

Fungi 9c

Leptosphaeria prope borealem E. and E.

On weathered root of Salix pulchra Cham. Bernard harbour, July 12,
1916, 100485.

This collection is too old for certain determination of the species. The
features extant correspond with those of L. borealis.

Leptosphaeria prope Hierochloa Ouds.

On Dupontia Fischert R. Br. Bernard harbour, Aug., 1915, 91325.

Sporidia 5-septate, third cell larger than the others, the cells mostly about
11 w in each dimension in the largest spores.

As a rule, the size and form of the asci and sporidia in the Sphaeriaceae are
so constant in the same species that the measurements and septation have
important diagnostic value. In the same perithecia in this collection these
orgars show considerable disparity. The largest asci measured were fully
twice as large as the smallest ones.

Massarina Dryadis Rostr. ‘

On Dryas integrifolia M. Vahl. Bernard harbour, July 5, 1916.

In the dense mass of small revolute leaves three fungi were found, namely
Mycosphaerella pachyasca, Pleospora sp., and a few leaves with a Massaria-like
species which is probably Massarina Dryadis Rostr.

In the original description Rostrup does not give the measurements. The
sporidia here were 3-septate, constricted, 30-35 » long and 15 w wide in the
widest part. Rostrup found his species on dead leaves of Dryas from Greenland.
Trelease found what he thought might be Rostrup’s species on Dryas integrifolia
collected by Murdoch at Point Barrow, Alaska, upon which he makes the remark
“not entirely mature.”

The collector’s note reads: “A yellow fungus-blight turning the leaves of
the common Dryas a yellow colour.’”’? From the material examined I could not
determine which, if any, of the fungi found caused the blighting of the leaves.

Pleospora arctica Fuckl.

On Oxytropis campestris (L.) DC. var. sordida Willd. Wollaston land,
Aug., 1915, D. Jerness, 98416.

On stems of Epilobium latifolium L. Bernard harbour, July 30, 1915, 98750.

Pleospora Drabae Schroet. var. nuda n. var.

Peritheciis nudis; sporidiis constrictis.

On leaves and stems of Draba nivalis Liljebl. Bernard harbour, July 17,
1915, 98657; August 7, 1915, 98662.

Schroeter in Nord. Pilze gives the perithecia as surrounded at the base
by creeping hyphae, otherwise smooth. The perithecia on this material are
naked but are collapsing and papillate as in Schroeter’s description. The sporidia
are constricted and primarily 3-septate; when they become 5-septate the three
primary cells remain distinct; the larger part of the eporidium is superior to the
middle constriction.

In Meddelelser om Groenland, 43, 155, L. Lind states that what he calls
Pleospora arctica Fckl. (not Pleospora arctica Karst.) is very probably the same
fungus that E. Rostrup in Fungi Groenlandiae repeatedly calls Pleospora her-
barum (Pers.). Rostrup held that there is no difference between the two species.
Lind, however, contends that there are differences, and he mentions that the
sporidia of P. arctica are the smaller and when mature are the darker of the two.
Lind would probably call the examples listed above by the latter name. His
diagnosis of P. arctica is as follows: “Peritheciis 350 x 240 yu; ascis oblongis,
curvatis, 100-128 x 23-28 »; paraphysibus numerosis, hyalinis, multiguttulatis;
sporidiis initio flavis, dein saturate brunneis, 34-86 x 14-16 yu, 6-septatis,
medio constrictis, parte superna parum tumidiore longitudinaliter 1-2-septatis.”’

ter’s P. Drabae.

Clathrospora Elynae Rabh.
Pleospora Elynae Ces. and de Not.
On Juncus arcticus Willd. Bernard harbour, August 25, 1915, 97820.
Clathrospora has clathrate, amber-coloured eporidia differing from Pleospora
in that the cells all lie in one plane. The asci and sporidia in this collection on
Juncus are smaller than the measurements given by Lind as found by him on
Luzula collected in Greenland. The sporidia on the Bernard harbour material
are very variable in size, reaching a maximum of about 45 x 20 uw. They show
about 25 cells on the side and 7 or 8 on the edge.

On Alopecurus alpinus 5m. Bernard harbour, August 25, 1915, 91337.

The species was first described by Karsten on material found in Spitzbergen.
It is reported in Greenland on a half-dozen or more species of grasses and also
in western Alaska on Dupontia; hence it is probably a widely distributed inhabit-
ant of the arctic grasses.

The sporidia, when viewed on the flat side, are somewhat pear-shaped.

this species as found in Greenland collections. The smaller sizes are near 27 x 11 uv
and the largest reach 45 x 22 u.

On Papaver many of the sporidia were 3-septate but not muriform. In

The foregoing enumeration includes thirty sphaeriaceous species inhabiting
phanerogams most of which grew in the country around Bernard harbour. _

Captain Fielden and H. C. Hart collected fungi on the Nares expedition.
These were determined by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley who found only three sphae-
riaceous species, indeed only two, for one, a Chaetomium, grew ona damp surface
in the cabin of the Alert and is cosmopolitan. The other two were Venturia
Myrtilli Cke. on Cassiope and Mycosphaerella lineolata (Desm.) on a grass.

30-36 per sq. mm., shortly conical, terminating in obtuse, paler ostiola. Locules
50-180 » in section parallel to the plane of the stroma. Asci aparaphysate or

septate, upper cell rounded at end and larger than the lower cell, the latter conic-
truncate to sub-acute, 13-16 » in length and 3 yw in width at the septum. The
number of sporidia in the ascus is usually 8 but sometime 6 or even 4.

existent on their respective hosts here and there throughout the Canadian arctic
regions.

In this family two species are named in the Alaska list (Harriman expedi-
tion) and eleven in the Greenland lists. Mr. H. G. Simmons collected two in
Ellesmere land, the one named above, and Lophodermium maculare (Fr.) on
Myrtillus uliginosus. 7

STICTIDACEAE.

Propolis angulosa Karst.?

On a fragment of bark of Salix, probably Richardsontt Hook. Sadlerochit
river, Camden bay, November, 1913.

This attractive fungus is not mature enough for certain determination. It
is immersed in the parenchyma of its host and has the gray-green hymenium of
P. angulosa. The margin of whitish, triangular laciniae imparts to the apothecia
a stellate appearance.

There are six Stictids in the Greenland lists but the family is unrepresented
in the other American arctic lists consulted.

PEZIZACEAE.

Scleroderris fuliginosa (Fr.) Karst.

On branchlets of Salix Richardsonit Hook. Fifty miles up the Sadlerochit
river, Camden bay, Nov. ember 13, 1913.

On Salix sp. On tundra southwest of Collinson point, June 7, 1914. Asso-
ciated with Mastomyces proboscidea (Fr.) Sacc.

Apothecia nearly black, densely gregarious and cespitose. Ascospores 60
-75 pw long.

This epaties seems to be common on willows in northern Europe. The only
other American collection I have seen was made by Dr. House, on Bald mountain
in New York State.

Not many of the Pezizinae are directly parasitic, at least in their ascigerous
stage, but Rostrup has proved that in Denmark, where he found Scleroderris fuli-
ginosa on several species of willow, it is truly parasitic and that it killed affected
branches in a short time.

In Mr. Johansen’s collection at Collinson point a few pycnidia of the
conidial stage were observed on the same branches with the mature plants.
One of the branches bore a thin crustose lichen with orange, peziza-like apothecia
which R. 8. Williams determined to be Caloplaca cerina (Ehrh.) Zahlb.

Peziza micropus Pers. var. flavida Phil.
Growing upon and under old sacks along the pond behind Teller, July 31,
1913.

14¢ Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18

Paraphyses gradually thickened at summit; sporidia 15-18 x 8-9 ». Fibers
of the sacking are retained in the mycelium at base of stem.

Scutellina scutellata (L.)
Peziza scutellata L. (Fr. Sys. Mye. II: 85)
Growing on rotten wood lying in water at Nome, August 20, 1916. :
This seems to have had a red-orange hymenium. The margin is beset with
long, rigid bristles, .5-1 mm. long; the sporidia are broad-elliptic, grumous,
19-21 x.

No Helvellas or large Pezizas were collected. I find only one species of
Morchella and one Helvella reported in the Greenland lists.

Between 40 and 50 Pezizas or pezizoid species are enumerated in the Green-
land lists and twelve in the Alaska one (Harriman expedition). Mr. Berkeley
found two in the Nares collection, Peziza stercorea Pers., and Urnula Hartt Berk.,
and Mr. Simmons found five in Ellesmere land, viz.:

Sclerotinia Vahliana Rostr.,

Mollisia graminis (Desm.),

Trochila juncicola Rostr.,

Trochila tgnobilis Karst.,

Niptera melatephra (Lasch.).

UREDINACEAE.

Aecidium of (?) Uromyces Phacae-frigidae (Wahl.) Har.

On living leaves of Phaca frigida L. Bernard harbour, July 3, 1916.

On the same host, Herschel island, August 9, 1914.

Failing to connect this aecidial stage, whose golden coloured sori cover the
under surface of the leaves of its host, with the mature stage, I submitted
examples of it to Professor H. 8. Jackson of Purdue University. He reports,
in effect, that the aecidium is quite new to the North American flora, and that there
is in northern Europe on this host a Uromyces described as having teleutospores
only, which are evenly distributed over the leaf surface. He is of opinion that
Uromyces Phacae-frigidae is an Opsis-Uromyces and that we probably have here
a hitherto undiscovered aecial stage of the fungus.

Melampsora Bigelowii Thiim.
Uredo Bigelowit (Thim.) Arth. —
On Salix ovalifolia Trautv. var. camdensis C. Schneider. Camden bay,

On Salix anglorum Cham. Bernard harbour, July 12, 1915.
On Salix pulchra Cham. Collinson point, June 18, 1914, 93809.
Uredinospores globose, rough, 18-21 yp, paraphyses with heads 23-30 uw in
diameter and pedicels 45-65 x 6 uw. The walls of the spores are 2.5-3.5 yu thick.
Melampsora arctica Rostr. has been found on three species of willow in
Greenland while M. Bigelowi? is not reported from there in the lists consulted.

Puccinia Arenariae Schum.
Teleutosporic stage on living leaves of Merckia physodes Fisch. Near the
mouth of the Mackenzie river, 1893, Rev. Isaac O. Stringer, 14264.

One might reasonably have expected to find a considerable number of species
of this very large and widely distributed family of fungal parasites on one or
another of the 230 species of vascular plants, many of them in numerous speci-
mens, collected by Mr. Johansen and other members of the expedition. The

Fungi 15c

expectation was enhanced by the fact that 23 species have been recorded on
Greenland hosts and no less than 40 in the Alaska list (op. cit.). Although every
plant in the Canadian Arctic collection was scrutinized for rusts in any stage,
only the three named above were detected.

In 1909 Professor A. 8. Hitchcock, Agrostologist to the U.S. Dept. of Agri-
culture, made a collecting trip through interior Alaska and part of Yukon in
the neighbourhood of Dawson. He collected five Uredines in Yukon which Dr.
J. C. Arthur identified as follows:—

Puccinia rubefaciens Johanns. on Galium boreale; Aecidium Allenti Clint.
on Shepherdia canadensis; Melampsora Ribesit-Salicum Bubak II on Salix
glauca; Melampsoropsis ledicola (Peck) Arth. II on Ledum groenlandicum; and
Peridermium boreale Arth. & Kern on Picea canadensis.

It is to be noted that Dr. Simmons did not find any Uredineae in Ellesmere
land. Rev. Mr. Berkeley determined a single example brought back by the
Nares expedition, collected at Pnoven, to be Trichobasis Pyrolae Berk.

USTILAGINACEAE.

Schizonella melanogramma (DC.) Schroet.

In good fruit, parasitic on the leaves of Carex stans Dre}. Herschel island,
Aug. 9, 1914, 97661.

I find no record of any other collection of this smut in the arctic regions.
Dr. Simmons collected Sphacelotheca Hydropiperis (Schum.) de By. on Poly-
gonum viviparum L. and Cintractia Caricis (Pers.) Magn. on Elyna Bellardit
(All.) K. Koch.

The Alaska list (op. cit.) names three species of Ustilago and a Tuburcinia.
The smuts like the rusts seem to be rare in the Canadian arctic regions.

BASIDIOMYCETES.
POLYPORACEAE.

Boletus scaber Fr.

On Herschel island, July 31, 1916.

The specimen had been preserved in alcohol. Soaking in water recovered
some of its characters, particularly the viscidity of the pileus. The spores are
very large, 16-18 x 5-6 u, exceptionally reaching 20 » in length with the extreme
width 8 uw. This is the only collection of a Boletus that I find recorded west of
Greenland.

It is not to be wondered at that the wood-inhabiting Thelephores, Hydnums
and Polypores should be rare or absent where stunted willows and birches are
the only kindred of the temperate forests.

AGARICACEAE.

Cantharellus muscigenus Fr. ;

Omphalia umbellifera Fr.

In tundra swamp, Herschel island, July 31, 1916.

Mr. Johansen’s note on this collection states that the plant is ‘‘uniformly
yellow-brown.” In southern Ontario it varies from white to dingy stramineous.
C. Ferdinandsen in Greenland Fungi Terrestres remarks upon the strong yellow
colour which this species assumes in mountain altitudes and in the arctic regions.
Judging from the number of records this might seem to be the most commonly
occurring agaric in the American arctic region.

Galera Hypnorum Batsch.

On tundra at Cape Bathurst, July 26, 1916.

The spores are brown, elliptic-ovate, 7-10 x 5-6 u. These plants are larger
than common for Galera Hypnorum.

Galera tenera Schaeff.

crystal-capped, 60-70 yu.

Naucoria sp.

Hebeloma fastibile Fr.
Bernard harbour, September 1, 1915.

“To-day (July 27, 1914)”, writes Mr. Johansen, “I found growing in the
bare sand ashore on the sandspit (at Martin Point, Camden Bay), a big A garicus
campestris? shooting up from the ground, upper surface sand-covered. Total
height 34 inch., stalk 2} inch. long and 1 inch thick at base; greatest diameter
of hat-disc 34 inches, flat; with purple-cocoa-coloured lamellae and almost
ripe spores.” I did not see this specimen. The species named has three arctic
records—Cape Stewart, Greenland; Fram’s fjord; Ellesmere land and Kadiak,
Alaska.

Mr. F. Johansen’s notes on other unidentified agarics:

No. 1. ‘Hat and stalk above leather brown; ripe lamellae purple-brown;
ring on stalk; east end of Herschel Island,” July 31, 1916.

No. 2. Same date as No. 1, at higher elevation; ‘a smaller yellow-brown
mushroom.”

No. 3. Same place as No. 1; “Russula sp.? hat above shining, lighter or
darker purple-rose, otherwise white; on higher tundra.’ Note.—The globose-
echinulate spores about 9 u, the shining pileus and other features suggest Russula
emetica Fr.

Fungi 17 c¢

Dated August 17, 1915, at Bernard harbour Mr. Johansen’s journal contains
this note: “Much rain during the latter part of this month makes quite a few
(terrestrial) fungi come out.”

For their certain identification many kinds of agarics require expert study
of the fresh specimens with notes on such non-persistent characters as presence
or lack of viscidity, differences between the young and mature stages and tests
of odour and taste. On the Amdrup Expedition to the East Coast of Greenland
Agarics in six genera were collected but, according to Rostrup, the species of
only one kind was determinable.

Captain Fielden and H. C. Hart of the Nares expedition collected twelve
agarics which Berkeley regarded as identifiable, namely, Omphalia umbilicata
Schaef., O. wmbellifera (L.), O. sphaerospora Berk.?, Clitopilus undatus Fr.,
Naucoria Bellotiana Berk., Tubaria furfuracea Fr., T. pellucida (Bull.), Stropharia
Fieldent Berk., Hygrophorus virgineus Fr., H. miniatus Fr., Russula integra Fr.,
and Cantharellus muscigenus Fr.

H. G. Simmons on the 2nd Norwegian expedition collected agarics on
Ellesmere land which E. Rostrup determined as follows: Mycena pumila (Bull.),
Collybia dryophila (Bull.), Tricholoma caelatum (Fr.), Omphalia umbellifera (L.),
Hebeloma fastibilis (Fr.), Naucoria festiva (Fr.), N. melinoides (Fr.), N. nimbosa

Psathyrella polaris Rostr., Russulina lutea (Huds.), Cantharellus lobatus (Pers).

LYCOPERDACEAE.

Calvatia cretacea (Berk.) Lloyd
Lycoperdon cretaceum Berk. Journal Linn. Soc. 17: 18, 1878.

On clay slopes, Herschel island, August 9, 1914.

On tundra hill slopes, Kay point, Mackenzie river delta, August 17, 1914,
J.J. O'Neill.

On stony tundra, Bernard harbour, August 10, 1915.

Of the last collection Mr. Johansen writes: ‘‘four white specimens growing
two together and two others together, white, the interior a dark green mass.”

In some respects this is one of the most interesting fungi collected. Accord-
ing to Mr. C. G. Lloyd, to whom I submitted a Kay point specimen for deter-
mination, there are only two previous collections on record, one on Bellot island
by Captain Fielden of the Nares expedition in August, 1876, the type specimen,
and another by Thore Fries in Lapland in 1910. Mr. Lloyd counts another
found in Greenland and described by Ferdinand and Winge as Calvatia arctica
which he thinks will prove to be the same species. ‘The fine plate of C.
arctica in Meddelelser on Groenland, Band 43, which Mr. Lloyd had not
seen, shows that it is not the same species as C. cretacea.

Berkeley’s description (op. cit.): “Sessile, globoso-depressum, pallide
fulvum, scabroso-pulveraceum, sursum cretaceum, in areolas rigidas pyramidatas
fissum; capillitio fusco; mycelio repente niveo.”

Mr. Lloyd had photographed the type which is at Kew, f. 929 in the above
citation, thus making a valuable supplement to Berkeley’s imperfect description.

The material now on hand enables me to complete the description as follows:
Peridium sub-globose, 4-5 cm.; the prominent, pyramidal warts of the upper
cortex gradually reduced on sides and base to a granulate or even pruinate
layer; gleba purplish-brown; sterile base shallow, radicating; spores globose,
echinulate, apiculate, average 6.2 4; capillitium olive-brown, main lines about
12 » thick, branches much smaller, about 6 u thick.

18 ¢ Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18

An immature specimen collected on Herschel island, July 31, 1916, pre-
served in alcohol, seems to be this species.

Lycoperdon umbrinum Pers.

On Herschel island, end of July, 1916.

A single specimen 4 cm. high, turbinate head 2.5 cm. wide, and nearly
cylindrical stem 1.5 cm. thick with the typically large-celled interior. Identi-
fication confirmed by Mr. C. G. Lloyd.

The Alaska list (op. cit.) gives two identified and two unidentified puff-
balls. Seven members of the family are reported in the Greenland lists, Lyco-
perdon gemmatum being the commonest Greenland species.

W. 8. Bruce in his very interesting little book on Polar Exploration speaks.
of the commonness of ‘‘deadman’s snuff,’ the spores of the puff-ball species.
Puff-balls may be common in the Old World arctic regions but the species do
not seem to be numerous in the American arctic country.

On languishing or dead leaves of Halianthus peploides (L.) Fr. West of
Martin point, July 30, 1914, 98330.

This fungus was sought in both Septoria and Rhabdospora. The leaves do
not seem to be truly maculate. If the tissues of the host were known to be dead
when they were attacked by the fungus, an investigator would look for it in the
latter form-genus.

Lind in his Micromycetes of Northeast Greenland devotes a page or more
to the discussion of the probable synonymy of this rather common species. He
names a dozen host-genera which it inhabits in Greenland; all of them are
dicotyledons.

No Leptostromata or Sphaeropsides are reported in the Nares collections.
The 2nd Norw. Arc. Fram Exp. collections in Ellesmere land contained:

Phoma Cichoriacearum Sace. on Taraxacum hyparcticum.

Rhytisma?
On young twigs of Salix rotundzfolia Trautv.
A black rhytismoid fungus not in fruit. Konganevik June 30, 1914.
Rhytisma salicinum (P.) is reported on the foliage of several species of willow
in Greenland.

Needles of Picea canadensis (Mill.) BSP., collected at Sandstone rapids on
the lower Coppermine, February, 1915, by Mr. F. Johansen, and at Escape
rapids on the same river by Dr. R. M. Anderson in February, 1916, furnish an
unsolved problem. Mucedo-like tufts, concolorous with the dead leaves, were
found on nearly every leaf of the twigs collected but spores were not found
in situ. Failure of the functions of the twig may have caused the death of
the leaves and dissections of the latter strengthened this supposition. I sub-
mitted affected material to Mr. J. R. Weir, Forest Pathologist at Washington,
D.C., who replied that he had not before seen spruce leaves in this condition.
He is disposed to agree with me that the fungus is saprophytic. A distorted twig
taken at the first named collection suggested to Mr. Johansen the effects pro-
duced by some species of Peridermium. In it I found the sloughs of Chermes-
like insects but nothing else.
