Alberta specimens were found at about 7,000 
feet elevation. 
Solitary or gregarious, céspitose, small to 
large; 4 cm. to 8 cm. high; pileus cinnamon 
brown to brownish black akhove, whitish beneath; 
stipe light tan to whitish, finely pubescent; 
spores elliptical, obtuse, smooth, 18-24 mic. 
x. 8-12 mic.; panaphyses ‘clavate, “septate 
branched, brownish, about 4 mic. wide. 
Certain of these specimens contain an abund- 
ance of Spheronamemella helvelle Karst. to 
which the dense pubescence 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.”’
