Apolliccia in ^rouiis, 2-3 mm. broad, wliitc, stipitate, ex- 

 terior covered with niinntc liyaline, se])tate. obtuse hairs. Stipe 

 short, slender. .Ml tissues h}-aline in microscopic section. Para- 

 physes filiform, ends obtuse. Asci cylindrical. Spores simple, 

 hyaline, fusiform or oblong, 8-10 mic. long and 1.5-2 mic. wide. 



Growing; on rotten wood. This may be disting'uished from
