ResumoDuring recent years considerable attention has been devoted to the subject of sexuality in the Hymenomycetes, with the result that conditions prevailing in many species have been determined. In the Agaricaceae the genus Coprinus has received the most study, but species of Hypholoma, Panaeolus, Pholiota and other genera have also been investigated. It is well known to students of the Agaricaceae that some of the small members of the genus Collybia resemble the genus Marasmius very closely, not only in size and general appearance, but also in the ability of the dried pileus to revive when moistened. Since little attention has been given to species of Marasmius or the marasmioid species of Collybia with regard to their development and sexual behavior, several species of Marasmius and Collybia were used in the present study. The following species received the most attention in this work: Marasmius elongatipes Peck, Collybia tuberosa Fries, C. cirrata Fries and the form hitherto recognized as C. cirrata Fries var.
