BURT—THELEPHORACEAE OF NORTH AMERICA, IX 181 
On balsam fir, spruce, and Thuja plicata. Newfoundland to 
New York and westward to Oregon. Infrequent. 
The aspect of A. amorphus is that of a small Peziza, which 
may account for the infrequency of this species in the col- 
lections which have been sent to me for determination. The 
large, minutely spinulose spores and moniliform paraphyses 
are distinguishing 
microscopic char- 
acters. The echinu- 
late marking of the 
spores is very faint 
in the collections 
from Idaho west- 
ward.
