332 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 
In moist places in woods. North Carolina and Georgia to 
Ohio and Missouri. June to October. 
Specimens of this species have sometimes been confused in 
recent years with the better known C. Cantharellus, which ranges 
farther north. The color and general habit of these species is 
the same; both have the egg-yellow color and the characteristic 
fragrance of Cantharellus cibarius when moistened after drying, 
and all three are edible. Craterellus odoratus is more membra- 
naceous than C. Cantharellus and it differs from both this species 
and Cantharellus cibarius in having a hollow or cavernous stem 
whose pliant walls may be pinched together, like those of a 
rubber tube, before the specimens are dried. Highly branched 
forms may occur as shown in pl. 16 fig. 10a; this character was 
unduly emphasized in the original description. The ample 
collections in the Glatfelter Herbarium seem to show that Cra- 
terellus odoratus is the most frequent Craterellus in the vicinity 
of St. Louis. Dr. Glatfelter notes on his collection that he has 
eaten this species and found it quite good. In pl. 15 fig. 8, I 
give a figure, natural size, from a photograph of the dried her- 
barium cotype of C. confluens B. & C., to show how close the 
resemblance is to the specimens of C. odoratus, collected at St. 
Louis and figured in the following plate. Тһе type of C. con- 
Лиепв has the hymenium rugose-wrinkled, as is often the case 
in specimens of C. odoratus; its habit, dimensions, structure, 
coloration, and spores are quite those of C. odoratus.
