different locality in 1896, and Demetrlo found it in Cole County, 

 Missouri, September, 1898, growing in a decayed spot on a living 



red cedar trunk. 



The nearest American congener of this species is probably A. 

 qtiercinus, from which it may be easily distinguished by its milk- 

 white context. It is also known only on red cedar, while 

 A. qucrcinus occurs on the wood of deciduous trees.
