 above, gradually tapering below into a stem-like base; spores 

 1-seriate, ellipsoid, hyaline, containing no oil-drops, about 8-10 

 X 14-18^1, smooth; paraphyses rather stout, gradually en- 

 larged above, reaching a diameter of 4-5 ij. at their apices. 



On an old burnt place which had been overrun with mosses.

 reaching a diameter of 2-3 mm.; hymenium plane or nearly so, 

 dull-red; hairs reaching a length of 500 ju and a diameter of 25 ijl 

 at the broadest point near the base, forked and rooting at the 

 extreme base, thick-walled, dark-brown, subacute at their apices; 

 asci cylindric or subcylindric, reaching a length of 300-325 n 

 and a diameter of 12-15 ijl; spores 1-seriate, parallel with the 

 ascus or slightly oblique, ellipsoid, smooth, filled with numerous 

 oil-drops which become more or less broken up in dried plants,
