 is paler below in 

 some cases, or 

 gradually darker

 The stems are 

 bou nd together 

 below by numer- 

 ous threads. 



Figure 127 is 

 from plants (No. 

 2373, C. U. her- 

 barium) col- 

 lected in woods 

 near Free\'ille, 

 N. Y. The 

 plants have been 

 collected near 

 Ithaca on three 

 different occas- 

 ions, twice near 

 Freeville about 

 nine miles from 

 Ithaca, and once 

 in the woods at 

 Ithaca. It is 

 easily disting- 

 uished by its 

 color and t h e 

 presence of the 

 peculiar set:e or 

 cystidia. 



Although the plant has been collected on several different occa- 

 sions in America, it does not seem to have been recognized under 

 this name until recently, save the record of it from Carolina by 

 de Schweinitz (Synop. fung. Car. No. 606, p. 81).
