98 Peck: New SPECIES OF FUNGI 
times split on the margin, substance fibrous, azonate, orange brown ; 
spines short, decurrent, whitish becoming brown; stem slender, 
central or sometimes eccentric, colored like the pileus, thick- 
ened at the base by a dense spongy mass of orange-colored to- 
mentum ; spores globose, colored, 4—5 4 in diameter. 
Fallen cones of bull pine, Pinus ponderosa. Base of Moscow 
Mountains, Idaho. Autumn. L. F. Henderson. Similar in color 
to H. aurantiacum, but differing in its small size, slender stem, 
even pileus, zoneless substance and peculiar habitat. 
Hydnum cyaneotinctum 
Pileus slightly tough but of a soft spongy texture, nearly plane 
above, minutely tomentose, whitish or buff, tinged with blue on 
the margin, flesh isabelline or pale buff above, sometimes tinged 
with blue below ; spines short, pallid, becoming ferruginous brown ; 
stem short, firm, covered nearly to the pileus with a dense spongy 
isabelline tomentum ; spores globose, verrucose, colored, 4 4 in 
diameter. 
Pileus 3-6 cm. broad; stem about 2.5 cm. long. 
Orris Island, Maine. September. Miss H.C. Anderson. This 
species is related to H. suaveolens, from which it differs in the color 
of its flesh, in the absence of odor and in the dense tomentum of 
the stem. 
Clavaria densissima 
Tufts 7-10 cm. high, nearly as broad, very dense, closely and 
intricately branched from the base, the branches solid, white within, 
often compressed, very crowded, repeatedly and irregularly branch- 
ing, sometimes anastomosing, pale ochraceous when dry, the ulti- 
mate branches more or less compressed and dilated, terminating in 
two or more blunt or pointed whitish tips ; spores naviculoid, often 
uninucleate, 8-10 4 long, 4-5 » broad; mycelium whitish. 
Much-decayed vegetable matter in mixed woods. Greenville, 
Michigan. October. B. O. Longyear. Near C. densa and C. 
condensata, but from the latter it differs in color and from the former 
in its more compact mode of growth, compressed branches, more 
narrow spores, and in having the tips of the branches differing in 
color from the branches themselves. The branches appear glab- 
rous to the naked eye, but under a lens they have a minutely 
velvety appearance. This indicates a relationship to the genus
