Ohio Mycological Bulletin No. 7 W. A. Kellerman, Ph.D., Ohio State University,

Columbus, Ohio, July 31, 1903.

The Illustrations. ? We are under obligations to Mr. Fred. J. Braendle, Washington, D. C, for cuts Nos. 31 and 32. Others by the same artist will be awaited with pleasure. The handsome Morel, cut No.

33, is taken from B. O. Longyear's Experiment Station Bulletin on

Michigan Mushrooms. Pronunciation of Names. ?

Many names will doubtless be new

to readers of the Bulletin ; but really they are not at all difficult?no more

so than Ge-ra-ni-um, or Rhi-noc-e-ros. I regret that English usage

Fig. 31. Hy-pho-Lo'-ma sub-lat-er-i'-ti-um. Edible. The spores are purple brown and there is no annubus in this genus. Cut from photo by Fred J. Braendle, Wash ington, D. C. The specific name alludes to the color of the cap which is nearly a brick red, sometimes tawny. The margin is lighter in color. The plant grows on old stumps or appears to come from the ground, being from buried portions of stumps or roots. Plants represented one-half natural size.

Entered as Second Class Matter, Post-office at Columbus, O.

will not always allow them to be pronounced according to their ety

mology or meaning. For example, it would be fortunate if we could

say Myr-i-o-sto'-ma ? which means many months ? instead of Myr-i

os'-to-ma which is misleading (but I should have pronounced it so on

p. 19, Fig. 25!). Bi'-spo-ra would better tell us two-spores than bis'

po-ra; Pol-y-po'-rus, many pores, than Pol-yp'-o-rus; but the laws of

?volution of language like Nature's other laws, are inexorable.

Fig. 32. Am-an-i'-ta stro-bil-i-for'-mis. Pine-cone Am-an-i'-ta. Edible. White or cinerous, sometimes yellow on the disc, rough with angular, mostly persistent warts. Many species of this genus are poisonous, but Mcllvaine says it is among the fest of species; it has a strong, pungent, unmistakable odor, like chloride of lime, which entirely disappears in cooking. The species of this genus (Amanita) have a conspic uous vol'-va, or universal veil, completely enveloping the young plant. Cut from photo by Fred J. Braendle, Washington, D. C.

Fig. 33. Mor-chel'-la bis'-po-ra. Two-spored Morel amid its natural surroundings. The cut kindly furnished by ?. O. Longyear, Agricultural College, Mich., who says this is one of our earliest Morels, often appearing with the opening

of the pussy willows and the advent of the early warbler. It is the rarest and most delicate mem ber of its tribe. The pileus or cap is thimble-shaped, with the ridges running mostly from top to bottom, and it is fastened to the stem only at the very apex. Color buff or brownish yellow, white underneath. The smooth white stem is usually three or four inches tall, hollow, and often a little swollen near the base. The whole fungus is tender and fragile.
