PILEUS 3-5 cm. broad, turbinate to truneate-obclavate, de- 

 pressed to concave-cyathiform, often irregular and lobed, narrowed 

 into the stem, at first purplish-flesh color, soon greenish-yellow, 

 surface floccose or slightly scaly. FLESH thick behind, white, 

 compact at first, at length toughish. GILLS in form of thick, 

 dichotomous, narrow but distinct ridges, connected by cross-ridges. 

 anastomosing below, long decurrent from the elevated margin of 

 the pileus, rather distant, flesh-color to pale purplish umber. 

 STEM expanding into the pileus, solid, short, rather firm, fleshy, at 

 first incarnate-purplish, then pallid, below densely wnite-floccose, 

 4-8 mm. thick, usually tapering downward. Whole plant 4-9 cm. 

 tall. SPORES subcylindrical or narrow elliptcal, 10-12x4-5 micr., 

 smooth, pale ochraceus in mass. ODOR and TASTE mild. 



Gregarious, on the ground in hemlock forests of northern Mich- 

 igan. Bay View, Marquette. July -August. Infrequent. 



Well marked by its color and shape. In his later works Fries 

 referred it to the Thelophoroceae under Craterellus. Its thick flesh 

 and the well-marked ridges of the Cantherellus-type, seem to be suf- 

 ficient reason to refer it back to Cantherellus.
