Abstract

New data or new combinations are given for 19 species of rhodophylloid fungi (sensu Largent & Benedict, 1970b), reported from the West Coast. Fifteen species,Alboleptonia adnatifolia Largent & Benedict (=Pleuropus adnatifolius Murr.),*Nolanea californica (Murr.) Largent (=Eccilia californica Murr.), *Nolaneaedulis (Peck) Largent (=Leptonia edulis Peck),*Entoloma ferruginans Peck,*Leptonia fuliginosa (Murr.) Murr.,Nolanea fusciceps (Kauff.) Largent (=Leptonia jusciceps Kauff.),Nolanea latifolia Kauff.,*Leptonia nigra (Murr.) Murr.,*Leptonia nigricans (Peck) Largent (=Eccilia nigricans Peck),*Leptonia occidentalis (Murr.) Murr.,*Nolanea occidentalis Murr.,Leptonia subeuchroa Kauff.,Entoloma trivialis (Kauff.) Largent (=Leptonia trivialis Kauff.),*Entoloma washingtonense Murr., and*Leptonia yatesii (Murr.) Largent ( =Eccilia yatesii Murr.), are considered to be members of the rhodophylloid fungi. Four species,Claudopus affinis Kauff.,Eccilia bispora Kauff.,Claudopus cortinicinctus Kauff., andClaudopus subargillaceus Kauff., are placed in a list of fungi to be excluded from further studies in the rhodophylloid fungi. Five species,Claudopus commixtus Kauff.,Entoloma sericiceps Murr.,Claudopus avellaneus Murr.,Entoloma plumbeum Earle, andPleuropus avellaneus Murr., were not studied. Information on ten species (*) is given to supplement that furnished in type studies by Hesler (1963, 1967).
