The species is very conspicuous on account of the bright orange- 
rown colour of the pileus and pores, which corresponds to “ Mars 
yellow ” of Ridgway’s Color Standards. Both in colour and in the 
spore characters it is close to M. binominatus, Massee. The latter 
however has less of a red tinge in the colour, differs in habit, and has 
larger and deeper pores.

Distinct from all other known species of Hirneola in the soft, dense, 
woolly covering of the | seer The long, lax, and slender hairs of which 
it is composed give it an appearance ee — from that of the 
upper surface of, for instance, H. polytricha. The cmp of the 
tomentum most nearly matches “ Verona brown” of Ridgw: 
The hymenium has a less gelatinous appearance than that ree most 
species of the genus. Its colour lies between chocolate and Vandyke 
rown, with usually a more or less purplish cast.
