 Welw. Crypt. Lusitan. n. 70 ; Ellis, Fung. N. Jersey, n. 3491. 



On bark. Britain ; Europe. 



Springing very often as independent minute rounded patches, 

 which sometimes assume a saucer-like form and remain solitary ; 

 more frequently several become confluent, and form irregular 

 patches with the margin more or less upraised and fibrillose 

 below ; hymenium dirty ochraceous with sometimes lilac tints, 

 cracked when dry and showing the fibrillose subiculum. Fre- 

 quent on cherry, mountain ash, and species of Prunus. 



Cobtictum hepaticum, Berk. Sf Curt. Latissime effusum ; 

 margine hie illic reflexo, tenui, subtus albido; hymenio continuo 

 hepatico ; sporae oblongo-ellipsoideae, 12 X 4-5 p.— Berk. $ Curt, 

 in Qrev. i. p. 180. (Type in Herb. Berk. n. 4056.) 



On ash. Penns., U.S. 



Very widely effused, running over the rough wood, and sur- 

 rounding any projecting point ; edge thin, white beneath, here 

 and there free; hymenium liver-coloured, with somewhat the 

 aspect of that of C. viscosum or C. lividum when dry. {Berkeley.) 



Broadly effused, thin, liver-coloured, rigid and cartilaginous 

 when dry ; not a good Corticium, villous below ; probably a 

 species of Auricularia, 



Cobticium sttbbep an dum, Berk. $ Cooke. Subcoriaceuro, 

 Primo pezizoideum, orbiculare, demum applanato-confluentum ; 

 hymenio marginato, subochraceo, sicco rimoso, margine libero ; 

 sporae Jate ellipsoideae, basi apiculatae, 12 X 7-8 H .—Berk. $ Cooke 

 in Qrev. vi. p. 81. (Type in Herb. Kew.) 



On rotting wood. Newfield, U.S. 



Allied to C. ochroleucum. The small orbicular patches are 

 soon confluent to the extent of an inch or two, the margin being 

 free and elevated in drying, by which process the hymenium is 

 also cracked in a tessellate manner. (Berkeley Sf Cooke.)
