Type: in Herb. Schweinitz, Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila. 
Pileus coriaceous, solitary, infundibuliform or divided to the 
stem into triangular divisions or flabelliform, fibrillose, drying 
pallid or tawny-olive, darker at center of the cup or at base of 
the divisions, margin lacerate; hymenium usually hair-brown, 
sometimes pallid; spores melleus to umbrinous under the micro- 
scope, angular-tuberculate, 6-7 x 4i-5y. 
Fructification 6 mm.-25 cm. high; pileus 5 mm.-23 em. broad; 
stem 3-15 mm. long, 1-13 mm. thick. 
In moss in wet places and on humus. Ontario to Alabama 
and westward to Kansas. 
Тһе differences in form of the pileus of T. regularis are well 
shown by the type in Herb. Schweinitz; this type consists of 
three fructifications, two of which are infundibuliform, the 
third and largest, flabelliform. Тһе hymenium is sometimes 
merely pallid, as in the case of the specimen which is the T. 
pannosa of Schweinitz, Syn. N. Am. Fungi, No. 606, but is not 
T. pannosa Fr. The cotypes of T. Ravenelit and T. hiscens 
agree in all respects with the authentic specimen of T. regularis 
in Curtis Herb. Specimens of Т. regularis which have the pileus 
infundibuliform and little cleft are suggestive of small specimens 
of T. caryophyllea but differ from the latter by the thicker pileus
