lobed ; hymenium dark-cinereous and rugose when moist, the obscure 
crowded irregular wrinkles abundantly anastomosing, nearly even 
and paler when dry ; stem short, hollow, colored like the hymentum ; 
spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, .00025 to .0003 in. long, .0002 
to .00025 in. broad. 
Plant single or cespitose, 2 to 3 in. high, pileus 1 to 2 in. broad, 
stem about 2 lines thick. 
Ground under spruce trees. Adirondack mountains. August. 
This very rare species has not been found by us since its discovery 
in Keene Valley, Essex county, in 1877. It is closely related to C. 
cornucopioides, from which its shorter more funnel-shaped pileus, 
longer paler stem and smaller spores will distinguish it. It is also 
apparently similar to C: sénuosus and C. crispus, and both it and 
they may yet prove to be different forms of one very variable species. 
In all of our specimens the pileus is pervious and the stem hollow 
to the base. This last character will distinguish the species from 
both those mentioned. In some specimens the pileus is much lobed 
or multifid on the margin. The hymenium is darker colored and 
much more rugose or uneven when moist than it is when dry. In 
the dried specimens it is pale-cinereous, often with a tinge of yellow, 
and its color extends to the base of the stem. The darker color of 
-the pileus is continued downwards in the cavity of the stem. In 
general appearance this species corresponds more closely to Can- 
tharellus cinereus than does C. cornucopioides, which is sometimes 
compared with that species. 
Craterellus lutescens /F’. 
Yellowish Craterellus. 
Pileus thin, submembranous, varying from convex and umbilicate 
to tubiform or funnel-shaped, often becoming pervious, yellowish, 
dingy-yellow or brownish, the margin frequently lobed, wavy or irregu- 
lar; hymenium nearly even or distinctly and sometimes densely rugose- 
wrinkled, yellow ; stem rather slender, subflexuous, glabrous, hollow, 
yellow ; spores subelliptical, .0004 to .0005 in. long, .00025 to .0003 
in. broad. 
Plant single or gregarious, occasionally czespitose, 2 to 3 in. high, 
pileus 1 to 2 in. broad, stem 1.5 to 3 lines thick. :
