cinereous and rugose when moist, the obscure crowded irregular 
wrinkles abundantly anastomosing, nearly even and paler when 
dry; spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, 6-75 x 42-5 и.

Тһе specimens of this species have the same coloration as 
those of C. cornucopioides but differ from the latter in having a 
shorter and more funnel-shaped pileus, and smaller spores. 
Moffatt reported C. dubius as abundant at Glencoe, Illinois.
