Italicized "Lepiota" on page 13 of part 4, for consistency: "Subgenus Lepiota Fries."

Changed "coerulescems" to "caerulescens" in the caption to Plate XII.

Removed italics from "Scop." on page 23 of part 4: "Clitocybe laccata Scop."

Changed "satanus" to "Satanus" on page 24 of part 4: "Boletus Satanus Lenz."

Changed "Beef-steak" to "Beefsteak" on page 24 of part 4: "Beefsteak Fungus."

One of the plates was labeled with script letter I, to differentiate it from Roman numeral I. I changed script letter I to upper case letter J.

Removed italics from "Roze" on page 9 of part 5, twice: "Subgenus Amanitopsis Roze", "Amanitopsis vaginata Roze."

The footnote on page 12 of part 5 had no anchor in the text. I attached it where I thought it made the most sense.

Changed "Washington, D. D." to "Washington, D. C." on page 21 of part 5.

Removed italics from "Linn." on page 22 of part 5: "Linn. Journ."

Italicized "Grevillea" on page 22 of part 5: '"North American Fungi" in Grevillea.'

Added closing quote on page 23 of part 5 to Bibliography entry for Letellier.

Changed "Psaliota" to "Psalliota" on page 23 of part 5: "Agaricus (Psalliota) campester."

Plate XVI is omitted from the index to illustrations; since I wasn't sure how the author would have wanted to describe it, I left it out.

For the Latin-1 version, I replaced the oe-ligature with the two separate characters: "oe."

For the ASCII version the following changes were made: the ae-ligature replaced by separate characters, "ae;" the AE-ligature was replaced by "Ae" or "AE," depending on whether it was title case or all capitals; the degree symbol was simply removed; accented vowels had their accents removed (except u with umlaut became "ue"); the British pound sign became "L."

Mixed fractions are represented as follows: two and one half is "2-1/2."
