 of Michenera from Brazil under the name M. Bompelii. It 

 is " erumpens, pezizseformis usque ad | cm. lata, oblique 

 sessilis, extus straminea, subpruinosa, intus albida : hymenio 

 humefacto turgido, subgelatinoso, butyraceo. Sporse usque 

 ad 20 fi in diameter ; globosse, ento- et exosporio lucem egregie 

 refringente." Except that the fungus is " extus straminea," 

 this description exactly fits M. poroniceformis.
