Studies on Rocky Mountain Fungi—I

Abstract

This paper is the first in a proposed series in which the author plans to publish descriptions of new species and notes on other fungi of special interest. In 1934 the author started issuing a set of fungi entitled Mycoflora Saximontanensis Exsiccata. Publications covering these issues have appeared in the of Wyoming Publications. In these several new species have been described. Through this new series wider circulation will be had for the descriptions of the new species. In this paper nine species are described as new. All of these will be included in the fifth century of the exsiccata. The present distribution of the set is: Rocky Mountain Herbarium of the University of Wyoming, Farlow Herbarium of Harvard University, Arthur Herbarium of Purdue University, Herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden, Herbarium of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Herbarium of the Department of Plant Pathology of Cornell University, Herbaria of the Universities of California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Herbarium of Ohio State University, Cryptogamic Herbarium of the University of Toronto, Herbarium of Dr. F. Petrak, Herbarium of the Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantines and Storage of India, and the author's private herbarium. A set was sent to the late Dr. H. Sydow but this was no doubt destroyed.
