Solitary or scattered. Sandy soil ami humus, in birch and hem

It has the habil of a Leptonia, and mighl be mistaken for one. 

 Peck describes the stem as hollow: our specimens invariably had 

 the interior filled with a solid fibrous-fleshy substance; this some- 

 times Loosens Longitudinally so as to give a false •■hollow" interior. 

 It has much the appearance of E. jubatum IV. as illustrated by 

 Cooke, ami of E. griseo-cyaneum Fr. as figured by Fries (Icones, 

 Plate 94, Fig. L). It differs from both these in its solid stem and 

 in the color of the pileUs. it is said to occur sometimes on de 

 ca\ ing wood or mossj Logs.
