© O Fructification effused, thin, tender, 
O adnate, drying straw-yellow to tawny 
olive, the subiculum and margin com- 
posed of slender, whitish filaments; 
hymenium glabrous, continuous; 
structure in section 150-300 д thick, 
composed of loosely interwoven, hya- 
Fig. 4 line, non-incrusted hyphae mostly 
С. Kalmiae. 2-3 и in diameter but with occasion- 
ine dris ith swollen ally a portion of а hypha swollen and 
4-7 ит diameter; по cystidia; spores 
tawny olive in a spore collection, even, 9-12 6-7 y. 
Fructification 3-4 em. long, 2-3 em. broad. 
On prostrate limbs and logs of frondose species, a single 
collection on hemlock spruce. Vermont and New York. Sep- 
tember and October. Rare. 
The type of this species is bright straw-yellow; the other 
collections which I have referred here have similar structure 
but are rather darker, approaching C. arida, from which, per- 
haps, C. Kalmiae is not specifically distinct. The occasional 
swollen portions of hyphae afford the best character for sep- 
aration from С. arida.
