"Whole plant not exceeding l£ inch in height. Pileus thin, 

 coriaceous, elongated, spathulato-flabelliform, of a chestnut- 

 brown inclining to bay, obscurely zoned, shining, but under a 

 lens finely seriato-striate ; margin indistinctly fimbriate. Stem 

 about | inch high, not £ line thick, erect, springing from a 

 membranous orbicular base, velvety, of a yellowish-fawn colour. 

 Hyrnenium distinctly defined, often with a little raised border 

 at the base, springing from the edge of the pileus, ochraceous 

 with a cinereous tinge, subsetulose, distinctly though minutely 

 marked with elongated sometimes branched lines. 



" A very elegant species, which cannot be confounded with 

 any described species. It resembles, perhaps, Thelephora auran- 

 tiaca more than any other fungus ; but it is abundantly distinct.
