North American species of Mycena.

EUMYCENA: CALODONTES collection found under white pine, September 8, 1934; Warrensburg, New York. Material studied.-Smith, 733. Observations.-The dried specimens have a vinaceous rather than a yellowish cast, and in this respect the species resembles M. capillaripes more closely than M. citrinomarginata. The lack of pleurocystidia and the larger spores readily separated it from the former, and the reddish gill edges from the latter, although I am inclined to believe it intergrades with M. citrinomarginata. 103.
