On damp liuen. 



From the articulated creeping mycelium spring slender very minutely 

 scabrous threads, branched proliferously ; ramuli often alternate attenu- 

 ated, their apices swelHng into a pyriform 4-5 lobed receptacle, from which 

 spring elliptic spores, some of which are echinulate, others smooth, with two 

 nuclei. The lobes are not mamillate as in S. atra, and the spores have no 

 true septum. — M.J. B.
