On decayed wood. [United States.] 



Stem constantly present, but variable, sometimes long and sometimes 

 short, rugose, attenuated downwards, of the same colour as the peridium, or 

 rufescent at the base. Peridium rather large, usually even, dehiscing irre- 

 gularly ; thejower part, which has a shining, transparent, skinny appear- 

 ance, remains when the capillitium and spores have vanished, and in this 

 state resembles a. Crafericm. - •' The threads form an extensive compilicated 

 capillitium, in which it is rarely, if ever, possible to trace a single thread 

 from one extremity to the other, and their colour is darker than in T.cerirta. 

 The markings also are strongly defined."— C't'/r.
