“5. reniforme, coriaceum, cinnamomeum, pileo dimidiato 
reniformi integerrimo zonato, stipite e basi torulosa decum- 
bente adseendente, hymenio laevi velutino. In American 
calidiori. Eumorphum, subvelutinum. Pileus uncialis.’’ 
—Original description of Fries. 
In typical specimens of this species a single reniform pileus 
is borne at the apex of the stem. Berkeley, loc. cit., referred 
to this species a specimen whose pileus is slightly bilobed, 
which he figured, and he noted that the whole fructification was 
sprinkled with short, bright, brown setae. Romell describes 
the spores as hyaline, obliquely ellipsoidal, 5-64 д. 
H. reniformis has been collected several times in Brazil but 
not yet in the West Indies or Central America, so far as I 
know.
