fading in the herbarium, strigose-pilose, the margin whitish 

 fringed ; hairs minutely rough, flexuous, 75-90 X 4-43^2 (J^> sharp- 

 pointed; spores hyahne, even, subglobose, 6-73^ [t. in diameter, 

 copious. 



Fructifications 250-400 [x in diameter and of about the same 

 height. 



On dead places in living trunk of Magnolia glauca. Newfield, 

 New Jersey. January and April. Apparently local. 



The specimens which I have seen were collected forty years 

 ago and now show only traces of the original color, which is 

 noted on the packets as ' 'yellowish white when fresh, with white 

 fringed margin, and disk white or nearly so." The larger 

 globose spores should distinguish this species from Cyphella 

 sulphurea and C. laeta. 



Specimens examined: 

 New Jersey: Newfield, J. B. Ellis, four gatherings (in N. Y. Bot. 



Gard. Herb., Burt Herb., and Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb., 61697- 



61700).
