GODRONTA 329 



This was listed by L. O. Overholts as a Crumenula and 

 possibly Crumenula pinicoh (Reb.) Karst. in Mycologia 18: 181. 

 It agrees reasonably well with the descriptions of that species 

 except for the purplish color which was not mentioned by Karsten. 

 It is, however, thought best to refer American specimens to 

 that species.

Apothecia solitary, or gregarious, erumpent from outer 

 cortical layers of bark, sessile, or on very short, central stalk, 

 2-4 mm. in diameter, at first closed, opening by stellate or 

 irregular clefts, leaving rather fimbriate margins, expanding 

 discoid, usually rolling up from two sides when drying, externally 

 pruinose, black to fuscous-black; hymenium pruinose, black; 

 asci clavate, hyaline, staining brown with iodine, 8-spored, 

 8-13 X 74-178 m; spores filiform to acicular-clavate, hyaline 

 continuous, guttulate, 1.5-3.5 X 36-63 /x; paraphyses hyaline, 

 hair-like, flexuous, exceeding the length of the asci by 32-38 n, 

 tips slender, agglutinated, forming a dense epithecium with rosy 

 and purplish tints in section. 



Imperfect stage Neofuckelia pinicola Zeller & Goodding 

 (Mycologia 27: 464), usually associated with A. pinicola. Stro- 

 mata erumpent, sometimes scattered, mostly gregarious, black- 

 pulvinulate, sessile to short-stipitate, .8-1.2 mm. in diameter, 

 containing 16-35 locules (pycnidia); conidiophores from entire 

 inner surface of pycnidia, hair-like, simple, or branched; conidia 

 hyaline, continuous, narrowly ellipsoid to bacillar, 1.7-3 X 8- 



11 M- 



On living branches and trunks of Pinus lambertiana, Finns
