Clavarias of the United States and Canada 57 



In the Schweinitz Herbarium a collection of this is labelled C. 

 inaequalis Fr., with spores as above described, 5.5-6.5(1. in diameter. 



Peck reports C. austera Britz. (Rept. 54: 155. 1901) and says: 

 "Ground in woods. Lake Placid. Sept. Miss N. L. Marshall. 

 A small tufted species allied to C. inaequalis, from which it may 

 be distinguished by the greenish tint of the clubs." We have ex- 

 amined this collection and rind the spores exactly like those of C. 

 fusiformis, 5.5-6(1. thick. The real C. austera can hardly be this 

 as they are shown by Britzelmayr as single olive green clubs. We 

 think Miss Marshall's collection is a somewhat greenish form of 

 C. fusiformis. Clavaria coliformis Boud. (Bull. Soc. Myc. Fr. 

 33 : 11, pi. 3, fig. 2. 1917) may be an abnormal form of this.
