JANSE, A. J. T., Africa:
Polyporus scruposus, which is only a form of Polyporus gilvus. Polyporus
scruposus was named from America, but we do not have in this
country such strongly rough specimens as these which are strongly marked.
There are, however, in the same collection, specimens almost smooth.
Schizophyllum commune. Schizophyllum commune (small form).
Daldinia concentrica. Polyporus ochroleucus. Polystictus lanatus (yellow
form of occidentals). Polyporus grammocephalus.
KNAEBEL, ERNEST, New Mexico (k):
Catastoma pedicellatum. (Cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 121.) This is our only
native species with rough, strongly pedicellate spores. The peridium is
purplish umber, similar to Catastoma pila in color. I received it from W. H.
Long, Denton, Texas, several years ago and thought it was unnamed on account
of this purplish color of peridium. On comparison now with my
Florida material, I find that Catastoma pedicellatum, when mature, has this
purplish color, hence although Mr. Long's as well as the present specimens
are much larger and deeper 'purple they have all the essential characters of
Catastoma pedicellatum, and in my opinion must be so referred.
Geaster asper. These are not the typical form. The exoperidium is
more hygrometric, smoother, and cut into more narrow segments than the
type form. It is the same plant that Dr. Hollos has called Geaster pseudo-striatus
(cfr. Geastreae, p. 43), and confirms to my mind the opinion I
have published that pseudo-striatus is but a synonym for asper.
Fomes pinicola. Unusually strongly laccate specimen as well as abnormal
in shape. Lycoperdon piriforme (typical). Lycoperdon piriforme.
Subglobose form in moss.
Calvatia pachyderma. This species is confined to our Southwest and
in tropical America. It is only a form of Calvatia gigantea with thicker,
more scaly

lactifluorum.
Crucibulum vulgare, on pine cones. Bovista plumbea.
Catastoma pila (cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 443). The spores are globose,
10-14 mic., tubercular, with a short pedicel (3 mic. long), or mostly apedicellate.
This species was named by Robert E. Fries, from Argentina, in
1909. The specimen had been submitted to me and I supposed it the same
as I had from W. H. Long, Denton, Texas, under this (mss.) name. On
comparison I find it quite different in its spores and that Mr. Long's
collection should have been referred to Catastoma pedicellatum. Catastoma
pila has been known to me under the (mss.) name Catastoma nigrescens
for several years. First, I received it (1905) from C. L. Shears, Garland,
Colorado; then, 1906, from Ernest Knaebel, Platte River, Colorado (alt.
9,000 feet); then, 1908, from Dr. J. F. Brenckle, Kulm, Nort Dakota, and
now have it abundantly from Ernest Knaebel collected, Valle Grande, New
Mexico. I have it also from Robert E. Fries, Argentina (cotype), and from
Rev. L. Mille, Quito, Ecuador.
