FUNGI OF CALIFORNIA. 



BY WILLIAM PHILLIPS, F. L. 8., AND H. W. HARKNESS, M. D. 



The following species of fungi, mainly belonging to the 

 Discomycetes, were collected in California during the year 



1882. 



Peziza (Dasyscypha) tautilla. 



Scattered, stipitate, minute, white, cup-shaped, clothed 

 to the base with slender hyaline hairs; asci broadly clavate, 

 sporidia eight, ovate, .001 X -001 mm.; paraphyses slender, 

 filiform. 



Growing on the foment am on the under side of living 

 leaves of Garrya elliptica. 3167. 



This resembles in size and habit Peziza epitephra B. & Br., 

 but is more decidedly hairy, and devoid of the granules ob- 

 served on the cup of that species. 



Peziza (Dasyscypha) labrosa. 



Scattered, sessile, olive-brown, clothed with short brown 

 septate hairs, margin involute; hymenium pale yellow; asci 

 cylindraceo-clavate; sporidia eight, ovate, .01 — .014 X .003 — 

 .006 mm.; paraphyses linear, stout, septate. 



On both sides of dead leaves of Aretostaphylos pungens. 



3226. 



Cups 1 mm. diameter, when dry nearly black and much 

 compressed. Somewhat like P. Godroniana. 



Peziza (Hymenoscypha) sphaerophoroides. 



Very minute, scattered, stipitate, subturbinate, glabrous, 

 horny, fuliginous; disc at first plane, then slightly depressed, 

 immarginate; asci broadly clavate; sporidia eight, cymbi- 

 forni, with a large central nucleus, .011 — .019 X -006 mm.; 

 paraphyses 0. 



On the under side of dead leaves of Sequoia sempervirens. 



3170. 



It resembles outwardly a Sphcenophoron.
