Type: location unknown to us. 
Fructifications globose to oblong, 1-3 cm. in diameter, with 
a basal stalk-like rhizomorph, usually much branched; col- 
umella rudimentary, merely a subglobose summit of the 
rhizomorph; peridium thin in early stages, quickly eva- 
nescent; gleba ochraceous-tawny to hazel; cavities 1-6 mm. 
in diameter, subglobose to irregular; septa white when 
broken, hyaline to cream-colored under the microscope, com- 
posed of а stupose mat of hyphae, about 75 u broad; basidia 
about as large as the spores, hyaline, granular, 2—3-spored ; 
sterigmata filiform, as long as the spores; cystidia in the 
upper cavities of the fructifieation, not prominent; para- 
physes clavate, septate, hyaline; spores fusiform to citri- 
form, ochraceous, longitudinally striate, with 8-10 usually 
smooth striations, 1-2-guttulate, pedicellate, 12-24 8-12.5 y. 
In clay soil. Europe and United States. Spring and 
summer. 
We have placed Gautieria villosa Quelet in synonymy, for 
we have been unable to distinguish it from G. morchelliformis, 
and Quelet himself later (1886) believed them to be the same 
species. Winter studied the type, as well as Bresadola’s col- 
lection, which we have studied, and he believes they are 
synonymous. The villous character to which Quelet had 
reference might have been the granular appearance often pro- 
duced by an accumulation of spores on the surface of the 
gleba.
