In continuation of our studies on the Hymenogasteraceae (sensu latiore) we present here and in the following paper2 the genera belonging to the Hydnangiaceae as defined by Dodge,3 except Lycogalopsis of which we have seen too little authentic material to present at this time. Malengon4 proposed the family name Asterogasteraceae for essentially this same group, although he notes that Sclerogaster is very aberrant, and apparently he overlooked Maccagnia and Lycogalopsis. He would also include the gymnocarpous Russulaceae in the same series Asterospores. Hydnangium has had a relatively simple tradition since its first description, although from time to time discordant elements have been referred to it. The small generic segregates are easily recognized. Since all the genera have not been included here, due to lack of authentic material, we prefer to postpone a discussion of generic relationships until more data are available. The key on the next page will serve to identify material in this and the following paper:
