when dry, from its elongated pileus and twisted stem, has

Pileus 1.5, of an inch broad, orbicular, with the margin 
entire or very slightly lobed, white, at length dingy brown, 
villous, attached by a short stem arising from the elongated 
vertex. Gills broad for the size of the pileus, radiating from 
the centre, simple, or nearly so, not distinctly branched, with 
strongly marked subquadrate reticulations between them. 
This species is distinguished from Cantharellus Bryophilus 
by the beautifully reticulated interstices of the simple gill- 
like folds.

riaceus ; pileo tenui reniformi-flabellari cervino-pallido crebri- 
. ?Onato sericeo-nitente; margine acutissimo, stipite brevis- 
simo; hymenio contextu que pileo subconcoloribus ; poris 
minutis punetiformibus dissepimentis obtusiusculis. Pol.

Pileus: renato-flabelliform, 23 inches broad, 14 inch long, 
very thin, but rigid and corky, of a pallid fawn-colour, with 
à silky lustre, elegantly marked with numerous very narrow 
Concentric zones, and a few shallow furrows. Stem con- 
sisting of merely a round disc. Substance and hymenium 
nearly of the same colour with the pileus. Pores scarcely 
visible to the naked eye, rather long for the size of the species, 
Punctiform, with the edge of the dissepiments rather obtuse.
