Fructifieations solitary or cespitose, fleshy, flesh whitish; 
pileus narrowly obconic, turbinate, truncate or depressed, gla- 
brous, ochraceous buff, attenuated into the stem, the margin 
thin and erect; stem short, solid, tomentose at the base; hyme- 
nium lamelliform near the margin, rugose-wrinkled elsewhere, 
becoming pruinose with the spores, light vinaceous drab, drying 
drab; spores pale ochraceous in the mass, 10-13 x 4-41 ,.. 
Fructifieations 4-10 em. high; pileus 3-8 em. broad; stem 1-2 
сіп. long, 8-15 mm. thick. 
On the ground in coniferous woods. Maine to Connecticut 
and west to Minnesota, and in Montana. July to September. 
This species is intermediate between Craterellus and Cantharel- 
lus. Тһе marginal portion of the hymenium is like that of a 
Cantharellus, and the remainder of the hymenium, like that of a 
Craterellus. There is good authority for including this species 
in Cantharellus and there is the authority of Fries and herbarium 
usage for classing it in Craterellus. С. clavatus is edible but too 
rare, at least in the east, to be common in herbaria.
