line must have been made from old prints after the spores had faded, 

 as they are distinctly a clear salmon-pink when at all fresh.

5. Craterellus ochrosporus Burt. 



Plants 3-4 cm. high, stalk 2-2.5 cm. long, smooth, and black except 

 at base which is covered with a minute creamy-buff tomentum; hol- 

 low to base; above it expands rather suddenly to the funnel-shaped 

 cap about 1-1.5 cm. wide, which is brown and rough squamulose on 

 the upper (inner) surface. The hymenium (outer surface) is 

 smooth and a buffy flesh color. Texture fleshy, but toughish and 

 flexible. 



Spores smooth, elliptic, 7.4-10 x 11-14.4^. They are said to be 

 straw-yellow but we did not get a heavy enough print to determine 

 this point. 



I have followed Burt in recognizing this species, but without con- 

 viction that it is distinct from the preceding.

6. Craterellus lutescenes Pers. 



This has not yet been found in Chapel Hill and the following is 

 from Burt (Ann. Mo. Bot. Garden 1 : 336. 1914) : 



"Fructifications solitary to cespitose; pileus thin, somewhat mem- 

 braneaceous, varying from convex and umbilicate to tubiform or 

 funnel-shaped, often pervious, yellowish brown to fuscous, with mar- 

 gin often lobod or irregular ; stem flexuous, cylindric, hollow, yellow, 

 drying ochracoous buff, often hairy at the base; hymenium remotely 

 ribbed, even or rugose-wrinkled, yellow, drying cadmium-yellow to 

 ochraceous buff ; spores even, 10-12 x 6-8/^. 



"Fructifications 21/o-5 cm. high; pileus 11/2-3 Pin- broad, stem 

 11/0-4 cm. long, 2-4 mm. thick.
