It is proposed to distribute exsiccata of the Ohio species of Fungi, issuing small fascicles from time to time as material may be available.
The original descriptions of all the species, or that given in connection with the first use of the binomial or technical designation, will be printed on the labels in addition to the data usually given. Complete synonomy will not be attempted.
The number of copies will be limited, but it is hoped that all mycologists who might be especially interested in the specimens, and those wishing to exchange, may be furnished with the fascicles as they appear.
Fascicle 1, containing Nos. 1 to 16, issued November 20, 1901, represents the following species:
Thanks are extended to the mycologists who have rendered advice and assistance, especially to Messrs J. B. Ellis, J. C. Arthur, A. P. Morgan, and C. G. Lloyd. Acknowledgment for assistance in collecting will be found on the labels accompanying the several specimens.
The labels to the sixteen specimens of the first Fascicle are here reproduced.

For full account of the synonomy with citations and notes, see J. C. Arthur, Botanical Gazette,23:46, from which the following is taken:
To the translation by Johann Beckmann of Tillet’s account of the species contained in the Royal Academy of Paris, 1776, where it is stated that, “Son dernier effet consiste à convertir cette excroissance en une poussière noirâtre et assez semblable à celle qui sort du lycoperdon ou vesse de loupe.”—a foot note is added by the translator proposing the binomial designation, as follows:
“Meiner Meynung nach, ist das hier beschriebene Gewaechs allerdings ein Staubschwamm (Lycoperdon) und zwar eine Species parasitica, deren in Lin. Syst. Nat. schon drey befindlich sind, unter welchen also dieser Art, etwa unter dem Namen Lycoper. zeae ein Platz anzuweisen waere.” J. B., Hannoverisches Magazin,6:1330.
