﻿Fungi from various Localities 507 



Ascomata gregarious, short-stipitate, I — 1 . 5 mm. in diameter, at 

 first patelliform, becoming shallow cup-shaped, white-tomentose 

 outside, margin fringed with simple white straight obtuse septate 

 minutely roughened hairs 60-70 x $ ft : asci clavate-cylindrical, 

 ^5-60 x 5-6 u: sporidia cylindrical, continuous, obtuse, straight, 

 12-15 X 2.5-3/4: hymenium at first nearly white, becoming light 

 yellow and when dry brownish and occasionally umbilicate. 



D. labiata (Rob. & Desm.) has smaller sporidia (10 /1) and 

 smaller (.65— .75 mm) ascomata furfuraceous outside and at first 

 globose. 



Phaeopeziza Novae-Terrae E. & E. 



On rotten wood, Newfoundland, Sept., 1897 (Rev. A. C. Wag- 

 horne, no. 374). 



Ascomata sessile with the obtuse margin free, discoid, carnose, 

 friable, black throughout, 1.5-2.5 mm. in diameter, disk slightly 

 concave, sometimes umbilicate : asci cylindrical, mostly curved, at- 

 tenuate-stipitate, 80-110 x 8-io,«, 8-spored; paraphyses simple, 

 nucleolate, slightly enlarged at the tips : sporidia uniseriate, short- 

 elliptical, brown, with a single large nucleus, 8-12 x 6-7 ft, mostly 

 9-10 x 6-7 fx. 



Calloria Kansensis E. & E. 



On rotten wood, Kansas (H. F. Roberts). 



Gregarious, subgelatinous, pale orange-color, globular and im- 

 marginate, about .35 mm. across when fresh, of a rather deeper 

 color and umbilicate when dry, and with spreading white hairs 

 around the base : asci clavate-cylindrical, 65-75x8-10 ft, stipitate, 

 aparaphysate, 8-spored : sporidia mostly biseriate, oblong-elliptical 

 hyaline, with two large nuclei, becoming uniseptate, 8-10x4- 5 ft 



Remarkable for its different appearance in the fresh and in the 

 dry state. The umbilicus appears like a shallow cylindrical de- 

 pression and gives one the impression of a cup-shaped ascoma 

 with a regularly incurved margin.
