line bottle brushes, 6-7 шіп diameter over branches, with cen- 
tral axis bearing along its whole length short lateral branches 
of equal length, densely erowded together; basidia clavate, 
36-54x)9-12 и; spores hyaline, even, flattened on one side, 
13-18X 9-12 y. 
Fruetifieations 1-14 mm. in diameter, unless elongated by 
confluence of two or three, about 4 mm. thick. 
On dead twigs of hemlock, per- 
haps on balsam fir also. New 
Hampshire and New York. Rare. 
A. Farloww has the general as- 
pect of A. amorphus but may be 
separated from this species when 
examined superficially, by its 
smaller fruetifieations, which are 
nearly black on the unattached part 
of the under side, while those of the 
larger species are light-colored; the 
small basidia, small spores, bottle- "^ Fig 2

inerusting matter afford additional | Two spores and bottle brush 
decisive characters. A. Oakesw has Mu ТР 
bottle-brush paraphyses which are of greater diameter than 
those of A. Farlowii and with fewer branches and its fructi- 
fieations are much larger and of a different form.
