On the ground in woods; rare. About an inch in height, the 

 pileus half an inch or so across. The pileus is not deeply lobed, 

 the lobes are variable in width; the hymenium is brownish next 

 the stipe, fading to whitish toward the margin. 



3. T. MULTIPARTITA, Schw. Brownish-cinerous. Pileus sub 

 coriaceous, subinfundibuliform, man}' times j)arted and divided- 

 even to the stipe ; the lacinia^ dilated above and more or less in- 

 cised. Stipe short, glabrous. Hymenium nearly even, glabrous, 

 brownish, sometimes paler at the margin. 



On the ground in woods; not uncommon. About an inch in 

 height; the thin flat branches dilated above obtuse and multifid, 

 disposed in funnel-shape and more or less confluent into a multi- 

 partite pileus ; the hymenium mostly even or sometimes costate- 

 plicate beneath the laciniae. 



4. T. ANTHOCEPHALA, BuU. Subfcrrugindus becoming brown- 

 ish. Pileus soft-coriaceous, pubescent, parted into laciniiie dilated 

 and fimbriate above and whitish at the apex, or divided into 

 irregular ramose erect branches. Stipe equal, villous. Hymenium 

 even. 



On the ground in woods; rare. An inch or more in height; 

 stipe villous or tomentose, dividing al)ove into several branches, 

 which again are multifid with white apices. 



5. r. PALMAiA, Scop. Brownish-purple, |)ubescent, fetid, 

 Pileus soft-coriaceous, very much branched ; the branches palmate, 

 flattened, sub-fastigiate, fimbriate and whitish at the apex. Stipe 

 short, simple. Hymenium even. 



On the ground in woods ; common. 1-2 inches in height, often 

 divided nearly to the base; the branches numerous, dilated and 

 cuneiform at the apex. Readily distinguished when fresh and 

 growing by the very disagreeable odor which it soon gives out after 

 being gathered. 'I"he spores arc irregular and spiniilose, .008.-010 

 mm. in diameter. 



6. T. PTERULOIDKS, B. & C. (iregarious, bright ochraceous. 

 Pileus repeatedly branched ; the br.mches smooth, more or less 

 flattened, acute and i)aler at the apex. Stipes variable in length, 

 often several crowded together. Hymenium waxy, even. 



On the ground in woods; rare. 1-2 inches high ; divided and 

 sub-divided into many br.mches; these covered liy tlie smooth waxy 

 hymenium. 



7 T. I'li-AMEMosA, B. & C. Caespitose, crowded, pallid. 

 Pilei divided into numerous smooth filiform branches, somewhat
