2. Craterellus odoratus Schw. 



Plates 6 and 16. 



A peculiar plant with numerous small, funnel-shaped caps arising 

 from a common solid stem; entire plant 5.5-7.5 cm. high, up to 7 cm. 

 wide ahove; stem sometimes distinct, about 2 cm. long and 1.5 cm. 

 thick, creamy white to ochraceous, glabrous, somewhat pitted and 

 channeled, solid, firm, sometimes disappearing in a fused mass ; flesh 

 color of surface. Caps arising in all directions from the top of the 

 stem, varying from very small up to 3.5 cm. long and 3 cm. wide, 

 prettily trumpet-shaped, the margin crimped and wavy, narrowed 

 below and hollow to the base, upper (inner) surface a beautiful chrome 

 yellow (about deep chrome of Ridgway), finely floccose-tomentose; 

 hymenium salmon-pink, quite smooth; flesh light yellow, about 1.3 

 mm. thick ; taste and odor exactly that of Cantharellus cibarius. 



Spores ochraceous-yellow, elliptic, smooth, many bent, 3.7-4,8 x 

 7.4-10.3/^. 



I take our plant to be a much-branched form of C. odoratus, al 

 though other descriptions do not mention the floccose-tomentose sui 

 face. (See Burt, loc. cit., p. 331.) 



Under the name of Cantharellus odoratus 'No. 1288, Curtis referi. 

 to this species in the Curtis-Berkeley Mss. as follows : 



"Light yellow, very smooth, and destitute of plicnp, outer surface 

 glaucous, 1-2 in. high, infundibuliform, hollow to the base of the 

 stipe. Sporidia white. Sides of banks in woods."
