Our present knowledge of the extent and distribution of the higher plants of the state of Alabama, while far from complete, is still considerable, due to the efforts of several botanists who have devoted much time to their study. Chief among these to whom we are thus indebted are the late Judge Peters of Moulton, Prof. E. A. Smith of Tuscaloosa, and especially, Dr. Charles Mohr of Mobile, who has studied Alabama plants ever since his arrival in the country in 1848. It is expected that the results of these long continued studies will soon be made public, and that we shall soon have, for the first time, a published Flora of Alabama. While the higher plants are thus likely to be well cared for, the study of the less conspicuous but no less interesting and important lower plants has not been so carefully nor so systematically conducted. Both Judge Peters and Dr. Mohr collected a number of mosses and liverworts, and several new species in these groups have been described with Alabama as a type locality, but this field has not been worked with any degree of thoroughness. Judge Peters also collected a considerable number of lichens which are preserved with his collections at Tuscaloosa. So far as we are aware the large group of filamentous fresh water Algae has received no attention whatever, there being not a single recorded species from the entire state, tho members of the group are very commonly distributed throughout the waters of the state. A most inviting and important virgin field is still open for students in this direction. Our knowledge of Alabama 114 Diatoms is due entirely to the labors of Mr. K. M. Cunningham, of Mobile, who has done much careful work on this interesting group. The study of the Fungi of the state of Alabama commenced with the collections of Judge Thomas M. Peters, whose name will be linked inseparably with the future study of these organisms, because of the new and interesting things he brought to light, some of which have contributed not a little to the present knowledge of the relations of these difficult and interesting organisms. His field work was prosecuted largely in the vicinity of his home in Lawrence county, and on his farm property at "The Roost" * on a fork of the Sipsey river in Winston county adjoining Lawrence on the south. His collections were largely made during the years 1854-1854t and in the main were sent to Rev. Moses A. Curtis, who was engaged (18351872) in studying the mycologic flora of North Carolina. These, with others collected in various parts of the eastern and southern United States, were sent to Rev. M. J. Berkeley of England, by whom the new species were described in his ."Notices of North America Fungi" which were published chiefly in Grevillea, 1872-1876, conjointly with Cur* This interesting locality takes its name from the fact that in former years the passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) used the trees in the vicinity as a roosting place and accumulated there in vast numbers. No traces of their former abode are left, but the entire region is one of the most interesting botanically in the entire state. The exact location is in Township 8, Range 9, section 10, Winston county. t With Judge Peters' collection at Tuscaloosa, there is a MSS list bearing this inscription: "A list of Alabama Fungi with genera arranged according to Dr. John Lindley but species under each order are set down alphabetically. Collected from 1854-1864 in the counties of Lawrence, Walker and Winston and adjacent counties in Alabama, dried specimens of most of which will be found in the "Peters collection" in the University of Alabama." The list of species numbers some five hundred, but a large part of these are not in the collection which is preserved in three quarte volumes after the usual manner of exsiccate. 115 tis. These species are frequently alluded to as the "B. & C." species and have been the source of much difficulty to later mycologists from the very brief and often too general descriptions. The types of these fungi will be found at Kew, England, which contains Berkeley's herbarium among its collections. Specimens of many of them may doubtless be found in the Curtis collection, now owned by Harvard University, when that collection shall become as accessible to botanists as the one at Kew. The ultimate decision in regard to the status of these species, however, will necessarily depend on the examination of the types at Kew, since these are the ones on which Berkeley based his descriptions, and probably, tho not certainly, represent the same material that Curtis divided with him. Some of Judge Peters' earlier collections were sent to II. W. Ravenel, of Aiken, S. C., and were distributed by him in his "Fungi Caroliniani Exsiccati" of which five fascicles (five hundred specimens) were issued, 1852-1860. Judge Peters' own collection of fungi was presented with his botanical library and other collections to his alma mater, the State University of Alabama, and through the kindness of Dr. Eugene A. Smith, we have been permitted to examine the collections and include numerous notes of its contents. The State University also possesses a copy of Ravenel's work above noted which is now very rare and is especially valuable for the student of mycology in any portion of the south. The Peters' collection is in a very good state of preservation considering its age, but does not contain all the species included in the "B. & C." descriptions of Alabama fungi above noted. The second Alabama botanist to give attention to these plants was John F. Beaumont, concerning whom comparativelv little is now known. He lived for a time in Lawence county, but afterwards removed to southeastern Alabama, and is said to have died at Troy, Pike county.* * A brief sketch of.Beaumont from which we have drawn facts concerning his work, appeared in the Journal of Mycology, 2: 81-83, 1886, written by his associate. It is de-irable to place on record a more complete statement of his life and work, and if any persons reading this know anything further concerning him, they will confer a favor by communicating with either of the writers. 116 Beaumont, like Peters, sent numerous specimens of fungi to Curtis, and these are included in the emmeration in the "Notices" above alluded to. It is uncertain in what part of the state Beaumont's specimens were collected, but it is more than likely that it was in southeastern Alabama, where he is known to have resided during the latter part of his life. Nothing more was accomplished toward making known the cryptogamic flora of Alabama until 1889, when Dr. George F. Atkinson assumed control of the department of biology in the Alabama }Polytechnic Institute. He was an indefatigable collector and added especially to the knowledge of parasitic forms, publishing several papers on the economic, systematic and biological relations of various groups of species, during his residence in the state and since his removal. These contributions which added greatly to our exact knowledge of Alabama Fungi are enumerated below. In collecting, Dr. Atkinson was assisted by graduate students, notably B. M. Duggar, 1890-1, and C. L. Newman, 1889-92. A considerable portion of the fungi collected during this period (1889-1892) are preserved in the collection of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. These include a large number of types (or duplicate types) of the new species described by him in his various publications. A fuller set is contained in his private collection t which we have not examined. During the years 1893-5 the department of biology was under the control of Professor J. M. Stedman, who was primarily a zoologist, so that naturally little attention was given to the advancement of our knowledge of the Alabama flora. Some two or three specimens collected during this period may be found in the A. P. I. collection. During the past year, 1895-6, the writer (since January, 1896, associated with Professor F. S. Earle) has devoted as much time as could be spared from other duties in active field work for the collection and study of the fungous flora. Since July 1896, Professor Earle has continued the field t Now in Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. 117 work with such assistance as could be utilized. Naturally the collecting has been done within a distance of a few miles from Auburn, and so far as the parasitic forms are concerned, to a considerable extent it duplicates that done by Dr. Atkinson and his assistants; some interesting parasitic species, however, have been added from this section, and a considerable number of saprophytic forms (Pyrenos, Gastros and other fleshy fungi, have been added to the collection. In this connection, however, it should be stated that the season of 1895-6 was specially unfavorable for the extensive growth of fungi, being very dry during the fall of 1895 and during the spring of 1896. In fact not until July 1896, was the rainfall sufficient to bring out anything of the normal productiveness of this region. A few trips were made to various parts of the state, largely for the purpose of gaining information as to the character of the country with the expectation of making more extended excursions later. During these trips a considerable amount of material was collected in various parts of the state and valuable data accumulated regarding distribution and desirable regions for prosecuting field work in the future. Professor Earle has twice visited Mobile county. The writer has also been once in the same county (December, 1895); one trip was made to Tuscaloosa, Hale and Dallas counties (May 1896) and one to DeKalb, Madison, Lawrence and Winston counties (June 1896). It is thought best to publish this preliminary list of the species of fungi now known to exist in Alabama, as a basis for further work, as well as a stimulus to bring to light some of the species early described from the state that are now known only through their type specimens. For this purpose, and as some of the descriptions are not easily accessible, we have collated the original descriptions of all species which were described with Alabama as a type locality, and have further designated with a star those species of which specimens have not been seen by the writers. The material collected during the present year has been deposited in the 118 collection of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, and so far as material would permit in the collections of the writers. It must be borne in mind that this list represents only a small part of the flora of the state, since only limited areas have been examined for a limited time. It will be many years before the fungi will be as fully known as the higher plants, for with only a single institution in the state that maintains a course in Botany, the task of field exploration and laboratory determination and investigation falls heavily on two or three workers. The state of Alabama presents a very diversified flora, including many of the plants of the Appalachian mountain chain which extends through the highlands of the state beyond its centre, and many of the Gulf coast plants towards the southern limits. The differences of elevation are also considerable and furnish another element for the production of a diversified flora. As stated aboye, we have a good working knowledge of the higher plants of the state, so soon as it shall be made available to students by publication.* The state will probably be found to contain more spermaphytes than any state east of the Mississippi river, owing to its range of latitude, altitude, and its peculiar position. It is natural to infer that the fungous flora, when it shall be made known, will be proportionally large since the parasitic portion of it at least is directly dependent on the higher plants as the source of nutrition and sustenance. The fungous flora of the vicinity of Auburn has impressed neither of the writers as exceptionally rich. The generally poor quality of the soil may perhaps account for part of this condition, *It should not be uderstood that even the higher plants are all enumerated. As an instance of what can be done in fairly well worked localities, we may cite the instance that of about two hundred Spermaphytes collected by Professor Earle and myself in the vicinity of Auburn during the Spring of 1896, at least a dozen were not known to Dr. Mohr as members of the Alabama flora, and two or three were new to science. And these were incidental gatherings in our search for fungi, having in view the establishment of a host herbarium of Alabama plants for reference, a great desideratum for the Biological Laboratory. 119 coupled with the fact that the timber is more largely pine than otherwise, a host that supports in this climate few fungi as compared with many deciduous trees. The observations made on the various brief excursions through the state may properly be mentioned here as indicating some of the regions where exploration will yield good results in the future. There are doubtless many others perhaps equally advantageous. A few of these already noted are:-(1) The spurs of the Appalachian system reaching our state, notably the Lookout range extending through DeKalb, Etowah and Cherokee counties. This region can be reached from any point on the Alabama Great Southern between Chattanooga and Attalla. The basin of the Coosawattie, from Rome to Gadsden, will doubtless be well worth the exploration. The range parallel to Lookout, known as Sand mountain, will likewise repay careful exploration; one very promising portion of this is accessible from the railroad leading from Attalla to Guntersville, and other portions are accessible between Huntsville and Chattanooga. (2) The river drainage of the northern portion of the State. This will form an interesting and peculiar region by itself, and can be reached from the various towns on the Tennessee river from Chattanooga to Florence. (3) The river region of Tuscaloosa and Hale counties bordering on the Black Warrior, accessible by the Alabama Great Southern from Birmingham to Meridian. Parts of this region visited during May 1896, and at an unfavorable time because of the dry season-showed a rich and diversified flora. (4) The coast region of Southern Alabama, comprised in Mobile and Baldwin counties. The peculiar parasitic flora developed by the labors of Professors Tracy and Earle in their account of Mississippi fungi, and collected largely at points on the Gulf coast only a few miles to the west of our state, would argue a like development in corresponding 120 areas in our own state, and the brief visits made by the writers to this region amply confirm the above statement. (5) The highland counties of northwestern Alabama. From a single visit to this region we would predict for it the indication of being the region of the state most prolific in furnishing additions to the flora. This prediction is based on the fact that the higher flora, and especially the timber, is the most diversified of any portion of the state visited, and on the additional fact that a large part of the area is still covered with the original forest and has not suffered from the modifications induced by cultivation and civilization. The writer made a single trip from Decatur to Moulton, thence by the mountain road to the northern portion of Winston county, and thence to Haleysville on the railroad leading from Sheffield to Birmingham. The region throughout showed evidence of an exceedingly rich field for exploration. On account of the few settlements in this area it would be desirable to visit this region with a party provided with tent and .supplies, allowing for delays in river crossings if the trip is to be taken during the period of heavy rains. Even a fortnight's trip taken either in early spring, in midsummer, or in early autumn, or even in November, would repay a rich reward, each season of course furnishing its own characteristic flora. The region may be reached either from Cullman or Decatur, or from Haleysville as above noted. It should be remembered that it was in this region that the greater part of Judge Peters' collections were made. In a recent article in Garden and Forest* the writer has called attention to the fact that while the study of mycology in America commenced in the South (North Carolina) the later development of the mycologic flora of the Southern States has not been extensive. In only two of these states, in fact, is there a mycologist connected with the experiment station, and in several there is not even a botanist. Ala* Issue of 1 July, 1996 (9:263, 264). 121 bama, Mississippi and Texas are the three states of the southern tier that have contributed anything to a knowledge of the fungous flora from their experiment stations, and still it seems that it must be to these institutions mainly that we are to look for work in this direction.

EARLE. The following list includes the species of Fungi at present known to inhabit the State of Alabama. In the case of those species described by Berkeley all have been included in the list whether they have been collected recently or not. In the case of those whose type locality is Alabama, Berkeley's descriptions in both Latin and English are given, since the two are usually more or less supplementary to each other. Those which have not been collected since their publication are marked with a star. All the species not so marked are represented by specimens in some American collection and their location can be determined from the following statement of the basis on which the list rests. It is founded on the following material: 1. The species reported by Berkeley in his notices, and, presumably, to be found in the Berkeley collection at Kew, England. 2. Species preserved in the'Peters collection, now owned by the State University of Alabama. 2 128 3. Species collected by Judge Peters in Alabama and distributed in Ravenel's Fungi Caroliniani exsiccati. 4. Species collected by Professor G. F. Atkinson or his assistants and deposited in the herbarium of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. * Also species described by this author in recent papers. 5. Material collected by the writers, 1895-1896. Whenever possible, the location is noted by counties, and the time of collection by months. That from Lee county, which naturally includes the greater part of the list, was collected by the writers jointly from January to July 1896; that collected before that time (October- December 1895,)was collected by L. M. Underwood, and that since July 1896, by F. S. Earle. 6. Material collected by G. W. C rver, of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, in Macon County. Much of the material collected by Professor Atkinson has been again collected by the writers in the vicinity of Auburn, Lee county, but no mention of this appears in the list, the original collector alone being indicated for each county. The herbarium of the Polytechnic Institute therefore contains, in addition to general material, considerably more Alabama material than the present list would indicate, especially in parasitic forms. The recent collections outside of Lee county, unless otherwise noted, were made by L. M. Underwood, except those collected in Mobile county, 1896, which were collected by F. S. Earle. Specimens of the material collected by the writers, if in quantity sufficient for division, were also deposited in their private collections. It is the intention of the list to include no species that. cannot be verified by subsequent examina* Besides this material, Professor Atkinson left a record containing collector's numbers of quite a number of fungi collected in Alabama; some of these give localities, a few give names, many neither; also a host index of Alabama parasitic species; although these contain references to some species not mentioned in the following list, no use has been made of these notes, since we have had access to no specimens to represent them. 129 tion. The material, therefore, reported in the manuscript list of Judge Peters, unless represented in some of his collections above noted, has been omitted from the text. The classification followed is a slight modification of that proposed by Schroeter, * with the adaptation of ordinal and family names to a uniform system. The genera and species are arranged alphabetically, under each fam:ily or order, as the simplest method of citation, and with a few exceptions follow Saccardo's limitations. In the case of parasitic species, reference is made to all the hosts on which the species has been collected in the state. For the use of those who will continue to study the fungi of the state, a generic index and a host index are added as a matter of convenience. In the citation of hosts the reformed nomenclature is used with generic citation of such synonymy as appears necessary to render the reference clear. The list, of course, makes no pretense at completeness, for it represents only a beginning, mostly confined to two or three counties of the state. Probably three times the number of fungi it mentions will ultimately be found in the state. It has been found by experience that when attention is called to any certain group of plants and the imperfectly known and limited number from a given area is noted, that a stimulus is thereby given to further search and exploration. It is hoped that the citation of the unknown "B. & C." species, with their limited descriptions, will lead to their rediscovery, and that the list will in other ways stimulate the study of these plants in the state until its flora becomes reasonably well known. For the benefit of those who are not conversant with the lower plants, it may be desirable to indicate briefly some of the characteristics of the Fungi and to outline, as far as possible by common names, the various groups into which this * In Engler-Prantl: Die naturalichen Pflanzenfamilien. 130 series of plants is divided. It will thus serve to interpret to such persons what might otherwise appear to be a mere list of unpronounceable names. The Fungi, known under various names, like moulds, mildews, toadstools (or in this state frogstools) and mushrooms, are plants that are (1) Of simple structure and organization; (2) Contain no chlorophyl (the green coloring matter of ordinary vegetation) and are therefore unable to live on inorganic matter like other plants, and (3) Reproduce by means of microscopic spores instead of seeds. Since they are unable to live on inorganic food they must draw their nourishment from other living plants or animals and thus act as parasites, or else draw their food supply from decaying organic matter. Of the former type a considerable number are directly injurious to cultivated plants and play an important part in agriculture. These have already served as the subject of a general bulletin from this station (No. 69) and several special bulletins (Nos. 26, 36, 41, 50 and 55). Much yet remains to be done in the direction of learning the life histories of these parasitic species and determining the best means of checking their ravages; in fact, we have only made a beginning in this direction. Some of the species living on decaying organic matter form valuable articles of food, and attention has been called to a few of these in a preliminary bulletin from this station (No. 73). Many species are not at present known to have any economic character. It is, however, desirable to know them all, and we therefore present a classified arrangement that will serve as a sort of synopsis of the list that follows. Fungi are variously classified by different botanists but it is convenient here to separate them primarily into five classes, two of which are often not regarded as true fungi, but nevertheless share with them many of their characters. These classes are again divided into orders and these again into families. These various groups with such common names as have been applied to them may be arranged as follows: 131 I. CLASS SCHIZOMYCETES.-Includes the bacteria, many of which are exceedingly useful to man; many produce disastrous diseases of men and animals; some are of considerable economic importance to horticulturists in our state, viz: the Bacillus amylovorous producing pear blight; and Bacillus solanacearum causing blight of tomatoes and blight and rotting of potatoes. The bacteria are not usually regarded as true fungi; at least they have no place in a flora. II. CLASS MYXOMYCETES (slime moulds).-Represented with us by two orders, one of which (Plasmodiophorales) contains root parasites, some of which attack cultivated plants. The other order (Myxogastrales) contains a series of organisms that are among the most remarkable in existence. They grow on rotten wood, possess no economic importance, and on account of their characters while in the growing condition, are, by some botanists, regarded as animals. The zoologists, however, do not claim them and they .are here retained. In their later or spore-bearing stages some of them bear considerable superficial resemblance to the puff-balls and were, indeed, classified with them by the early mycologists. As a matter of fact, no two groups could be more different from each other, and they here appear at opposite ends of the list. CLASS III. PHYCOMYCETES.-(The lower or algal fungi). Order C(hytridiales. (Simple parasites, a few affecting higher plants.) Order Mucorales. (Moulds, including ordinary well known forms, the common green mould excepted.) Order Eatomophthorales. (Insect parasites; mostly beneficial.) Order Saprolegniales. (Aquatic moulds, sometimes parastitic on fish. (This group, often of economic importances in fish hatcheries, has not been studied in the state.) Order Peronosporales. (White rusts and downy mildews; an important parasitic group.) CLASS IV. ASCOMYCETEs. (The spore-sac fungi.) Order Gymnoascales. (Leaf-curl and "plum-pockets;" an important economic group.) 132 Order Perisporiales. (Powdery mildews; some are of considerable economic importance.) Order Hypocreales. (A few like the ergot of grain are economic; the majority are saprophytic.) very few (The Order Sphaeriales.] tles. black fungi. of Athe plum like Order he he "black knot" are Dot hideales.parasitic; the greater number are Order saprophytes.) Order Hysteriales. (Of little economic importance.) Order Phacidiales. (Mainly leaf parasites, a few of economic importance.) Order Pezizales. (Cup fungi; mostly fleshy.) Order Helvellales. (Fleshy fungi; a few edible.) (As so-called inperfect forms (Fungi imperfecti) we have three orders that in the list are placed between this class and the preceeding; some of them are stages of ascomycetous fungi; others probably are not related to ascomycetous forms, and are probably complete in themselves; many members of these three orders are parasitic and of economic importance.) CLASS Y. BASIDIOMYCETES. Order Ustilaginales. (Smuts; parasitic on corn, cereals and grasses.) Order Uredinales. (Rusts; parasitic on various plants; a highly economic group.) Order Tremellales. (Jelly-like fungi.) Order Hymeniales. (Mushrooms, toadstools, woody or bracket-fungi; many fleshy forms are edible ) Order Gastrates. (Puff-balls; many species edible.) As far as it is possible to arrange the diverse forms in a lineal series these groups are arranged in the order of complexity of structure, the simplest forms coming first; no lineal arrangement, however, can satisfactorily express affinities. 133 CLASS MYXOMYCETES.

In Helminthosporium Petersii B. & C. (Grevillea 3:102) Berkley evidently confused two very different fungi, and it may be a question which is entitled to the specific name. Under the description, he cites first specimens on Smilax from So. Car., and, second, specimens on Laurus Benzoin from Ala.; but in naming the species after the collector of the Alabama specimens he seems to imply that he considers that the type of the species. Unfortunately the brief description does not help us to decide the question. As priority on the page favors the other supposition, we concur with Atkinson in writing the name for the form on Smilax as above. A single fragment on a leaf preserved in the Peters Collection (1:142) under this name seems without question to be the well known Isariopsis Linderae (E. & E.) Sacc., but unfortunately the hyphae and spores are entirely worn away so that positive identification is impossible. Cercospora pinnulaecola Atks. On Cassia nictitans, Lee, 10, 1891, (Duggar).

On Sporobolus asper, Lee, 7, 8, 1891, (Newman & Duggar), Described (1. c. 27) as follows: "Spots amphigenous. cinereous with definite brown border margined by indefinite yellow, irregularly oblong, sometimes confluent.

Cercospora smilacina Sacc.? On Smilax sp. Lee, 5, 1896.

There is nothing to indicate who made the determination. The enlarged ends of the hyphal cells at length collapse and become gobletshaped, but the fungus forms a dark purplish black confluent mass, and the spores are dark fuscous, very obtuse, flattened at the ends, formed concatenately, about 12x8u.

The form on Tecoma was determined by Atkinson (Jour. E. Mitch. Sci. Soc. 10:75) as 1H. semntosta B. & C. It is true that the base of the appendages is in some cases colored for a short distance, but this is not unusual among the varied forms that are referred 911 Alni. The coloring in this case is rather darker than usual ; but it is not nearly so dark as in the true 11: sernitosta on Cephalanthus ; and the branching of the appendages, and the recurved tips are different from that species.

On Quercus Phellos, Lee, 1891, (Atkinson). On Quercus sp. Lee, 12, 18a5; Macon, 8, 1896, (Carver). The form on Q. nigra is the M. calocladophoraAtks. which was described in Jour. E. Mitch. Sci. Soc. 7:73, as follows: "Hypophyllous, mycelium thin, diffuse, or in orbicular patches, dense. Perithecia scattered, black, rather stout, 100-140 n, reticulations rather distinct. Appendages one to two times diameter of perithecium, percurrent, primary branching opposite or nearly so, branches dichotomous, tips incurved, some of the tips unpaired as in M. quercina. Asci four to six, ovate or elliptical, pedicellate, 35-40x65-80 n. Spores six to eight, 20-25 n, granular." There is nothing in the foregoing except the peculiar branching of the appendages by which to distinguish it from other of the varied forms on different species of oak that are at present regarded as belonging to MA.quercina. This character is very easily recognized when present; and, if constant, would sufficiently separate the species. As the result of much study of the forms of Microsphaera on oak we cannot concede that this is the case. In none of the specimens examined is this character uniformly present. Hardly a perithecium can be found that does not show one or more appendages with the normal dichotomous branching of . quercina. Again this character is by no means confined to the form on Q. nigra. Many specimens from Illinois, and other parts of the country, especially on Q. 179. alba, show occasional appendages having this peculiar form of branching. It is this that was referred to by Burrill and Earle, Parasitic Fungi of Illinois, 2:485, while discussing the form on Q. alba, in the sentence "While the branching is broader and more irregular, frequently being exceedingly ornate " Microsphaera Hedwiigii is mentioned in Grevillea, 4:161, as being found in Alabama on oak by Beaumont, but this was doubtless some of the many forms of M. quercina.

A second form of this species (or possibly a distinct species) was collected in Auburn in February, and March 1896, with darker brown pileus and smaller pores with light cinereous mouths. It should be studied carefully in the field. Polyporus barbatulus Fr. Lee, 11, 1895. 9 240 Polyporus barbaeformis B. & C. On Vitis (Peters) ; Lee, 12, 1895; 1, 1896.

Polyporus chrysoloma Fr. On pine chips, Lee, 1, 1896. We cannot separate this material from the species figured under the above name in Fries, Icones, pl. 189;f. 3; it agrees well with the description, except that the stratum of pores frequently becomes thicker than the description calls for. The yellow mycelial strands (fading to whitish in the dried specimens) and the strikingly daedalioid pores will readily distinguish it. Polyporus cinnabarinus (Jacq.) Fr. On Prunus, Lee, 1885; 11, 1896; Winston, 6, 1896. Polyporus connatus Fr. ? On Gleditschia triacanthos, Lee, 2, 1896. Referred with 241 some hesitation to this species are several specimens growing on the upper limbs of a dying tree, quite unlike the habit of ordinary P. connatus. The characters of the pileus and pores are not like typical forms of this species. It is desirable to have additional and younger material. Polyporus corticola Fr. On bark, Lee, 12, 1895.

Polyporus flavo-squamosus Underw. On the ground, Lee, 11, 1896. Described from Alabama material in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, as follows: "Pleuropous; terrestrial ; stem 7-8 cm. thick, slightly flatened, irregular roughened, colored like the pileus; pileus 1.5 cm. each way, yellowish, with a slight tinge of greenish; covered with rather small floccose imbricate scales, which form a very thin fragile crust, channeled behind where the edges nearly meet; margin rather acute, more or less incurved in drying; context white or slightly yellowish, fleshy, firm, becoming almost woody when dry; pores 5 mm. deep, rather large (about 1 mm.), irregular, angular, with thin dis- 243 sepiments, slightly decurrent, white, changing to greenish when wounded, yellowish when dry; spores oval or ovoid, 9x6u, with a single large highly refractive gutta."

Distributed by Ravenel, Fung. Car. exsic. 5:17, from Alabama. Described from Alabama material in Grevillea, 1:52, as follows: "Pileo flabelliformi, pallido, glabrato nitido radiato reguloso ; poris pallidis sinuatis." "Pileus 3-4 inch wide and long, flabelliform, but frequently laterally confluent, pallid, at length quite smooth, marked with little radiating lines; pores 1-72 wide, sinuated.

With some hesitation and following common usage we refer this common form to this New Zealand species of which we have seen no authentic specimens. The species, whatever its name, is distinct from P. gilvus to which some have united it. Polyporus irregularis Underw. Under a pine log, Lee, 2, 1896. Described from Alabama material in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 24:85, as follows: 244 "Pileus irregular, more or less branching, brownish, paler towards the margin, uneven, subtomentose, with a thin imperfect crust, the under layer of which is darker colored, forming a delicate brown line in section; 4-6 cm. long, 3-4 cm. wide, the margin usually thin; context white, floccosefelty, pores white, 5 mm. or more deep, irregular, more or less angular, small (0.25 mm.), the dissepiments rather thin, firm, even." "Growing irregularly underneath a pine log, Auburn, Alabama, Feb., 1896." "The older portions are ferruginous brown above, and the free margins, when developed, are thin and distinctly paler brown for a space of about 1 cm. The extreme margin is sterile, and the pores which are normally even, become irregular and oblique as the margin tends to become erect." Polyporus lucidus, (Leys.) Fr. On Tsuga, Winston, 6, 1896. Polyporus Meliae Underw. On branches of Melia Azedarach, Lee, 10, 1895. Described from material collected in Alabama, in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 24: 85, as follows: "Pileus convex, dirty white, subtomentose, anoderm, 5-8 cm. in diameter, occasionally coalescing; margin obtuse, sometimes extending nearly or quite around the pores; cortex floccose-corky, whitish; pores cream white, becoming darker with age, more or less rimose, 5-6 mm. deep, minute (about 0.2 mm.), the dissepiments firm, slightly uneven, usually with obtuse edges; spores narrowly oblong, 6x3 hyaline." "On branch of Melia Azedarach, Auburn, Alabama, Oct., 1895." "In very old specimens the layer of pores becomes cracked in all directions and very much discolored." Polyporus obliquus (Pers.) Fr.

Following reference ofsimilar specimens by others we refer some of this species which is not uncommon in the southern part of the State to this New Zealand species. It appears very doubtful that two regions so widely separated should have any species in common that are not cosmopolitan in their character. Polyporus poripes Fr. Lee, 11, 1895.

Club, 24:85, as follows: "Terrestrial; stem exc'ntric, 4-6 cm. long, 2 cm. or more thick, yellowish-white towards the base; pileus 6-15 cm. each way, brown, appressed tomentose, finely areolate-rimose so as to appear finely mottled; context fleshy, rather thick 246 (2 cm. or more), becoming quite thin in drying, whitish; margin acute; pores decurrent half the length of the stem, shallow, whitish, large (1.5 mm. or more), mostly hexagonal, the dissepiments thin and finely lacerated." "The young pores are very shallow and the stem appears reticulate-veined nearly to the base. As the pores become older they deepen and those nearest the base of the stem become more or less obscured." "In pine woods, Auburn, Alabama, December, 1896. Mrs. F. S. Earle." Polyporus resinosus (Schrad. ) Fr. On a fallen trunk, Lee, 3, 1596. Once found, the specimens the growth of the preceding autumn, which is its proper season. Polyporus rhipidium Berk.

Described from Alabama material in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 24:145, as follows: "Pileus convex, becoming plane or depressed, slightly tomentose, deep red when young, becoming dull red with age, flesh yellow, slowly changing to greenish-blue where wounded; tubes rather long, becoming ventricose, slightly depressed about the stem, their walls sometimes slightly decurrent, the mouths large, angular or irregular, sometimes combined, bright yellow, quickly changing to blue where wounded; stem short, cespitose, often irregular, solid, subtomentose, slightly velvety at the base, pale reddish yellow, paler above and below, yellow within, quickly changing to dark green where wounded; spores .00L5 in. long, .00025 broad. Pileus 1-1.5 in. broad; stem 1-1.5 in. long, 3-6 lines thick." "The species is apparently allied to B. rubens, but is very distinct by its small size, cespitose habit, color of the flesh of the stem and by the peculiar hues assumed where wounded.

"The species is referable to the section Calopodes, but the tubes are more or less depressed about the stem. It is well marked by its color which is some shade of brown or tawnybrown throughout, inclining at one time toward wood-brown, isabelline-brown or broccoli-brown, at another toward sepiabrown.

Pileus 2-4 in. broad; stem 2.5-4 in. long, 3-4 lines thick." "The chief distinguishing mark of this species is its abrupt nearly globose bulbous base of the stem. This is somewhat flattened above and is sometimes longitudinally split on the sides. The small warts of the pileus are easily separable, and in mature specimens they have often wholly or partly disappeared. The remains of the volva are not present 6n the bulb in mature dried specimens, which indicates that the species should be placed in the same group with A. rubescens, A. spisso, etc. The latter species has the bulb of the stem similar to that of our plant, but the color of the pileus and other characters easily separate it."

Pileus 3 to 6 in. broad; stem 2.5 to 5 in. long, 5 to 8 lines thick, the bulb 1 to 1.5 in. thick in the dried specimens." "This is a fine large species related to A. solitaria,but differing from it in the character of its bulb and of its annulus. The bulb is not marginate nor imbricately squamose. Its scales are small and numerous. Nor is it clearly radicating, though sometimes it has a slight abrupt point or mycelioidagglomerated mass of soil at its base. The veil or annulus is large and well developed, but it is apt to fall away and disappear with age. Its attachment at the very top of the stem brings it closely in contact with the lamellae of the young plant and the striations of its upper surface appear to be due to the pressure of the edges of these upon it. It separates readily from the margin of the pileus and is not lacerated. In the mature plant the warts have generally disappeared from the pileus and sometimes its margin is curved upward."

The collection and preparation of fleshy fungi for scientific purposes is so different from the' collection of other plants, and the value of the collection depends so much on the character of the field notes that it is thought desirable to make a few suggestions with the view to secure more certain and complete information regarding these ephemeral plants, concerning whose life history and distribution in America so little is definitely known. The more conspicuous forms of the fleshy fungi, group themselves botanically into some four orders, one of which contains forms that are quite diverse among themselves. Two of these orders are readily recognized by those who are able to examine the spores, since these are contained in membranous sacs imbedded in a more or less cup-shaped disc or honey-combed receptacle. The species of these two orders that are in any way conspicuous are not very numerous. They consist of the cup-fungi (Pezizales) and the morels and gyromitras (Helvellales). A third order contains the forms that are everywhere common, ad when mature are familiarly known as puff-balls, smoke-balls or snuff-boxes, according to the portion of the country you happen to be in; these are the Gastrales, or as they have usually been called by a longer name the Gasteromycete s. The fourth order of fleshy fungi contains forms of whic h the common mushroom or toad-stool is the ordinary typ e, though forms of various types are known, somnJ club -like (coral fungi) or variously provided with gills, teeth or pores. The families of this order (Hymgreniales)* that are likely to be noted as conspicuous fleshy forms may be distinguished as follows: * Hitherto commonly known by the longer term Hymenomycetes. 12 272 Fungi with a cap (pileus) and central stem, or bracket like, with the spore-bearing surface normally underneath. AGARICACEAE. Spores borne on radiating gills. Spores borne on the interior of pores. Pores separating more or less readily from the pileus. BO LETACEAE. Pores not readily separating from the pileus. POLYPORACEAE. Spores borne on teeth projecting downward in growth. HYDNACEAE. Fungi club-shaped or forming masses of erect branches rising from a common base; spores borne on the upper portions. CLAVARIACEAE. Nearly all of these families contain members that are more commonly woody or corky rather than fleshy, the Polyporaceae notably so. Some few forms of the Ciavariaceae might perhaps be confused with the Helvellales, but the latter can always be distinguished microscopically by bearing the spores in sacs. The special suggestions for each of these families are much the same, but we will first give them more in detail for the more common family of Agaricaceae, and then add a few special supplementary suggestions for the other families. In collecting any fleshy fungi, care should be taken to obtain all of its fleshy structure, because some very important characters are derived from the basal parts. They should never be gathered for scientific purposes by breaking them off above the ground. The entire basal portion should be removed with a knife or small trowel. Of course the date of collecting and locality will be added to the specimen by any intelligent collector, but it is always desirable to add the local environment of the specimen by stating in what soil it grows-sand, clay, or leaf-mold-and whether the plant grows in open pastures, marsh, grassy woods or deep forest; sometimes the character of the timber, especially pine land, is to be noted; also whether it grows singly or in clusters. But above all these matters of environment, certain data concerning the physical properties of the fresh plant are absolutely essential to a correct understanding of the species. Dried specimens of fleshy 273 fungi without notes are often worse than useless, for they suggest many times highly interesting and often undescribed species without sufficient data to enable one to characterize them properly; species of fleshy fungi had better be left undescribed than be named exclusively from the character of the dried plant. The summary of characters to be noted in the AGARICACEAE can be tabulated as follows: 1. TASTE.-Bitter, acrid, peppery, mealy, nutty? (One need feel no fear in tasting any of the fleshy fungi, for they are cleanly, and the only inconvenience ever experienced is the peppery taste of certain species of Lactarius and 1ussula, which is temporarily about as unpleasant as tasting a particle of red pepper, but otherwise harmless). 2. SURFACE OF PILEUs.-Dry, hygrophanous (moist), or viscid? Smooth, granular, scaly, shining, striate, umbonate? Color and diameter? 3. GILLs.--Color when young, and when mature? Close or distant ? Narrow or wide ? 4. SPORES.-(Best collected by removing the pileus and placing it gills downward on paper or glass under a tumbler or bell jar. If a microscope is at hand to examine the spores they can be best collected on a slide). Color, shape and size? The last two, of course, only possible to those who have a microscope. 4. STE1.-Fleshy throughout, or with a cartilaginous rind ? Hollow, solid or stuffed? Size, including length and thickness? Shape; cylindric, tapering, radicate or bulbous? 5. VOLVA and YEIL, if present; character and position? To these notes a simple sketch of the fully expanded plant, preferably in colors, will be a very valuable addition. A good supply of dried specimens should accompany the notes; the more the better. 274 The specimens should be dried as quickly as possible after being collected as they are the favorite food of certain insect larvae, and if left over night will often be found to have changed into disgusting heaps of corruption by morning. Drying is best accomplished in an open receptacle like a wire basket in a current of hot air. Suspension over a hot stove is commonly practiced, and they may even be dried in bright sunshine, but in some cases the colors fade worse when exposed to strong sunlight. In order to further facilitate the field study and identification of the agarics, we add the following synopsis of the American genera. It will be found that certain aberrent species will not be determined readily by its use, though it will probably be useful and reasonably certain in the majority of cases.

The BOLETACEAE are easily recognized among fleshy, fungi by their layer of pores which take the place of gills and which are quite easily separable in most cases both from k82 the substance of the pileus and from each other. The color of the spores should always be determined in the manner indicated for the agarics, and the taste of the fresh specimen is essential. In addition the colors of the pileus, flesh and pores should be noted, and if there is any difference in color between the young pores and those of the mature plant this fact should be noted also. In certain species the flesh or pores or both will change color rapidly or slowly when wounded; in some instances the change is to a bright blue. This changing condition should be noted in any given species. Any peculiarity of shape of stem or markings on the stem like veining, reticulation or glandular dots should be carefully noted. If a veil is present, its character will be important as will the relation of the pores themselves to the stem, whether adnate, free or merely depressed around it. Finally the character of the pileus should be noted whether viscid, hygrophanous, or dry. Specimens need to be dried rapidly and after the drying has once commenced it should be carried to the end without stopping. The four genera can be distinguished by the following synopsis : Stem central or eccentric. Pores very easily separating Pores less readily separating Fleshy; pores arranged Tough; pores uniform; from the pileus. BOLETUS. from each other d from the pileus. in radiating rows. BOLETINUS. pileus densely floccose. at STROBILOMYCES. Stem lateral; pores separate from each other forming tubes. FISTULINA. Several of the species of Boletus are edible, a few are poisonous; one entire group known as the Luridi, recog- nized by the red mouths of the pores, is generally suspected. Over a hundred species are known from the United States, and the South especially contains many undescribed forms. The descriptions of most of the species are easily accessible in Peck, Boleti of the United States. (Bull. N. Y. State Mus. No. 8*). * Can be obtained of the State Librarian of New York for the small sum of twenty cents. 283 Our species of Boletinus and Strobilomyces are few in number, five of the former and only two of the latter, said to be edible. Fistulina contains the "beefsteak fungus," common in certain regions on chestnut stumps, and two or three other less known species. The POLYPORACEIE contain mostly woody or leathery forms. A few fleshy species belonging to the genus Polyporus are edible when young but soon grow tough. The same suggestions given for the Boleti will apply to the fleshy species of this genus. The HYDNACEE are represented by several genera more or less conspicuous. The fleshy species belong to the genus Hydnum and a number of them are edible. Some 30 species are described by Morgan, Journ. Cinn. Soc. Nat. Hist. 10: 7-14, including a number of the edible species. In collecting them the taste, odor, and colors when fresh should be carefully noted. Among the CLAVARIACEI, or coral fungi, the members of two genera are fleshy and some of each genus are edible. Clavaria has branches that are circular in section and Sparassis has flattened branches. They sometimes form masses several inches in extent. None of the species are poisonous, so far as known, though not all are edible. Sparassis is represented in America by four of its six species, while of over 200 species of Clavaria some 50 species occur in the United States. Morgan, Journ. Cinn. Soc. Nat. Hist. 11: 86-90 describes 20 species occurring in Ohio; and Peck, Reg. Rep. 24: 104, 105, gives a synopsis (without descriptions) of 20 species occurring in New York State. In collecting, the color of the spores, taste, odor and color of the fresh plants should be carefully noted. The student of edible fungi will find valuable assistance in Peck, Report of State Botanist of the State of New York (extract from Regent's Report 48), a work recently issued and containing descriptions and colored plates of about sixty of our edible mushrooms.
