136 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



CKATEEELLUS. Fries, (fig. 6, p. 94.) 



Terrestrial ; more or less infundibuliform, flesliy or' mem- 

 brauaceous, hymenium external aud inferior, glabrous, even 

 or rugulose ; basidia tetrasporoiis, spores continuous. 



Craierellus, Fries, Epicr., p. 581 ; Stev., Brit. Fung., p. 259. 



Closely resembling in size and habit, certain species of 

 Cantharellus ; in this genus, however, the thick gills are 

 more distinct and usually connected by veins, whereas in 

 the present genus the hymenium is either quite even or at 

 most vaguely rugulose. Allied to the mesopod species of 

 T]iele2Jhora. 



* Funnel-shaped, hollow to tlie hose, 



Craterellus lutescens. Fr. 



Pileus infundibuliform, brownish, flocculose, undulated, 

 thin ; stem elongated, hollow, smooth, yellow ; hymenium 

 yellow, at length with anastomosing veins ; spores broadly 

 elliptical, apiculate, colourless, 11-13 x 7-8 /x. 



Craterellus lutescens, Berk., Outl., p. 2G5; Cke., Hdbk., n. 886; 

 Stev., B. Fung. 259, f. Ixxxiii. 



In woods. Smell strong, spirituous ; size variable, pileus 

 1-4 in. across, stem IJ— 3 in. hiirh, solitary or srree:arious : 

 hymenium yellow, tinged orange, red, or ash}'. Superficially 

 resembling Cantharellus tuhaeformis var. lutescens, but in the 

 latter the gills arc more distinct. 



Craterellus cornucopioides. Pers. (fig. 6, p. 94.) 

 Pilous deeply inlundibulilbrm, thin, smoky-black, sqna- 

 niulose; stem hollow, smooth, black; hymenium grey, 

 bec(jming indistinctly wrinkled ; spores elliptical, apiculate, 

 colourless, 11-12 x 7-8 /x. 



Craterellus cornucopioules, Berk., Outl., \^. 206, t. 19, f . ; 

 €ke., Ildbk., n. 887, f. 79 ; Stev., B. Fung. ii. 260. 



In woods. Solitary or most fixMiuently tufted, variable in 

 size, 2-3 in. liigh. Pileus perviuus at the base and the 

 cavity continuous with the hollow stem. Some conditions 

 superficially resemble Cantharellus cinereus, but in the latter 

 the thick gills are more distinct.
