ciiioreous and rugose when moist, the obscure crowded irregular 

 wrinkles abundantly anastomosing, nearly even and paler when 

 dry; spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, 6-7 1 x 4^-5 ix. 



Fructification 5-72 <^ii^- high; pileus 2\-b cm. broad, 4 mm. 

 thick.

The specimens of this species have the same coloration as 

 those of C. cornucopioides but differ from the latter in having a 

 shorter and more funnel-shaped pileus, and smaller spores. 

 Moffatt reported C. duhius as abundant at Glencoe, Illinois.
