CLASSIFICATION OF FUNGI. 55 



the lower ones are long and straight. It grows 

 on trunks of trees. In the spreading Hydnum 

 the margin of the cap is arched and irregular. 

 It grows on the ground. 



TREMELLODON = jelly and a tooth. 



The fungi in this genus are gelatinous. The 

 cap is nearly semicircular in shape, sometimes 

 fan-shaped and rounded in front. The spines 

 or teeth are soft, white and delicate. We found 

 one specimen in the month of September in the 

 mountains of the State of New York. 



ORDER 4. THELEPHOREI, OR EVEN SURFACE 



FUNGI. 



In this order the lower surface of the cap is 

 smooth and even, or slightly wrinkled. It is 

 divided into several genera, only two of which 

 we will enumerate, Craterellus and Stereum. 



CRATERELLUS = a bowl. 



The species called the " horn of plenty," 

 Craterellus cornucopioides, belongs to this 

 genus, and is often found. Stevenson says it 

 is common. It is trumpet-shaped (tubiform).
