7. Cantharellus aurantiacus Fr. 



We have not found this species in Chapel Hill, and the description 

 below has been kindly furnished by Mr. H. C. Beardslee. The 

 species is very different from others of the genus, the thin, broad gills 

 forking like those of an Agaric. It is also easily distinguished from 

 C. cibarius and C. cinnabarmus by the white instead of salmon-col- 

 ored spores. In the state Herbarium at Albany, N. Y., there are 

 specimens up to 12 cm. broad. 



"Cap rounded hemispherical, becoming expanded and plane or 

 depressed, 3-7 cm. broad, somewhat tomentose, dull orange. Flesh 

 thin at the margin, which is at first incurved and irregular. Gills 

 thin, crowded, forking, decurrent, and bright orange. Stem 2-6 cm. 

 longy 4-8 mm. thick, colored like the cap, but darker at the base, 

 nearly smooth above, tomentose below. Spores white, 4-5 x G-Sz-t. 



"In woods, growing on and around well decayed logs. 



"This species is very distinct from C. cibarius. The bright orange 

 gills which are much broader and thinner than in C. cibarius at once 

 distinguishing it. At Asheville it is not common, but is found every 

 summer."
