11. Cantharellus umbonatus Fr. 



The following is from Murrill (N". Am. Flora 9: 170. 1910) : 

 "Pileus obconic, usually umbonate, convex to expanded, often de- 

 pressed, fleshy, flexible, gregarious, 1.5-4 cm. broad; surface flocculose 

 to glabrous, usually smooth, dry, varying from light to dark grayish- 

 brown, margin regular, involute, concolorous ; context white, thin, 

 mild, edible ; gills decurrent, white or yellowish-white, becoming red- 

 dish when wounded, close, regular, more or less dichotomous : spores 

 narrowly ellipsoid, smooth, hyaline, 8-10 x 4:fx: stipe 3-8 cm. long 

 4-8 mm. thick, equal or tapering upward, subglabrous, solid, w'hitish 

 tomentose at the base, white or colored like the pileus above." 



I find this note by Curtis in the Berkeley-Curtis Manuscript : 



2837. "(Canth. umbonat., Fr.) Cap 1-1 1^ in. broad, acutely umbonate and 

 depressed, pale fuliginous and scaly, margin thin involute, exceeding 

 the gills. Lam. whitish, subcrowded, narrow, ascending from the 

 stipe, subarcuate, all 3-5 forked. Stipe subequal, 1-2 in. long, 2 lines 

 thick, rather paler than the cap, solid, appressed. fibrillose, base 

 white mycelose. Spores white! Among leaves in dry woods. Nov."

12. Cantharellus lignatilis B. and C.

The original description is as follows (Ann. ^lag. X. II. 44 : 

 294. 1859) :
