Alberta specimens were found at about 7,000 

 feet elevation. 



Solitary or gregarious, caespitose, small to 

 large; 4 cm. to 8 cm. high; pileus cinnamon 

 brown to brownish black above, whitish beneath; 

 stipe light tan to whitish, finely pubescent; 

 spores elliptical, obtuse, smooth, 18-24 ii"iic- 

 X 8-12 mic; paraphyses clavate, septate, 

 branched, l)r()\vnish, about 4 mic. wide. 



Certain of these specimens contain an abund- 

 ance of S pJucronamccmclhi hclvclhc Karst. to 

 which the dense i)ubescence of the stipe is due. 

 I also find the spermatia to be ultimately uni- 

 septate as I found in all Minnesota specimens. 

 Karsten's descriptions (Hedwig. 23:18. 1884), 

 however, give "spermatia simplicia."
