North American species of Mycena.

478 NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF MYCENA

of the type discovered among Atkinson's material was in such poor
condition that no details could be obtained.
Mycena connatipes (Berk. & Curt.) Saccardo, Syll. Fung., 14: 84.
1899.
Agaricus (Mycena) connatipes Berkeley & Curtis, Ann. and Mag. Nat.
Hist., III, 4: 286. 1859.
Prunulus connatipes Murrill, North Am. Flora, 9: 326. 1926.
"Dense caespitosus; pileo hemisphaerico alutaceo; stipitibus albis
basi connatis; lamellis albido-flavis denti adnatis. Curt. no. 512.
On the ground in dense clusters, Upper Carolina, M. A. Curtis.
"Pileus 2-8 lines across, hemispherical, buff; stems 2 inches long,
1~ lines thick, white, confluent at the base and rooting; gills whitish
yellow, adnate, subdecurrent.
"Allied to A. proliferus from which it differs in its hemispherical
pileus, adnato-decurrent gills, etc."
The original description is quoted above. Beardslee and Coker
(1924) are inclined to believe that this species is the same as A. intertextus. At all events, since the fungus was not even recognized later
by Curtis in his catalogue of North Carolina plants, the name should
be dropped.
Prunulus corrugatus (Pat.) Murrill, North Am. Flora, 9: 342. 1916.
Androsaceus corrugatus Patouillard, Bull. Soc. Myc. Fr., 16: 175. 1900.

I have quoted the original description here because Murrill in his
translation of it in the North American Flora left out the part which
clearly characterized the species as a Marasmius of the Androsaceus
