15. T.lutosa Schw. Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. №.8.4:166. 1834.1 
Туре: in Herb. Schweinitz. 
Pilei cespitose, densely imbricated, at first somewhat fleshy 
but at length hard, undulate-plicate, yellowish, almost sub- 
tomentose with pulverulence, somewhat horizontally attenu- 
ated behind, margin sublobate, at length inflexed; pileus less 
than 2 mm. thick, with hyphae Зи in diameter; hymenium be- 
coming yellowish, even; spores olive-buff under the microscope, 
angular, 5-6 x 32-4. 
Cluster about 13 cm. high and broad. 
On the ground in roads and in woods. North Carolina. 
The type is distinct from T. albido-brunnea, having thinner 
pileus, finer hyphae, and smaller and paler spores. "The pilei 
were crowded together into a small buff-colored cluster about 
15 em. high and broad, somewhat as in Tremellodendron palli- 
dum (Schw.); I failed to find stems at their bases.
