BURT—THELEPHORACEJE OF NORTH AMERICA. II 339 
11. C. delitescens Burt, n. sp. Plate 17. fig. 18. 
Type: in Burt Herb. 
Fructifications gregarious, cespitose, somewhat fleshy; pileus 
thin, convex, then umbilicate, dry, fibrillose, sepia-colored, the 
margin inrolled; stem equal, solid, glabrous, chamois-colored ; 
hymenium even or sometimes obscurely lamelliform, chamois- 
colored; spores white, even, broadly ovoid, 9 x 7 p, borne four 
to а basidium. 
Fructification 10-15 mm. high; pileus 5 mm. broad; stem 
10-15 mm. long, 1 mm. thick. 
Growing among mosses on very thin soil on rocks by water- 
fall. Vermont. August. 
This species is intermediate between Cantharellus and Craterel- 
lus in its hymenial structure, but, as some of the specimens have 
the hymenium even and bearing mature spores, I include the 
species in Craterellus. The specimens are much smaller than 
those of C. calyculus and have the pileus becoming merely 
umbilicate. The little fructifications were well concealed 
among the mosses; I have found them but once. 
Specimens examined: 
Vermont: Falls of Lana, Lake Dunmore, Е. A. Burt, type.

Illustrations: Thom, ibid. f. 1-8. 
Type: in Cornell Univ. Herb., 15445. 
Fructifications single, rarely gregarious, fleshy - membra- 
naceous, entirely white when young, becoming pallid to ochra- 
ceous buff with age, drying cinnamon buff; pileus narrowly 
obconic, slightly viscid, the apex truncate, plane, or depressed 
and with a thin margin which is erect or expanded; stem solid, 
equal or tapering downward, flexuous, pruinose, with scattered 
white hairs at the base; hymenium even, becoming longitudi- 
nally rugose-wrinkled with age or upon drying; spores white, 
even, subglobose, 3-4 шіп diameter, borne four to a basidium. 
Fructifications 1-3 em. high; pileus 4-9 mm. broad; stem 1-2 
ст. long, 1-1 mm. thick. 
On rotten twigs and leaves under prostrate branches of Taxus 
canadensis. New York. October and November. 
This delicate fungus was under observation by Dr. Thom
