Type: specimens determined by Quelet in Bourdot Herb. 

 and a fragment in Burt Herb. 



Fructification effused, thin, livid pink to dull lavender, fading 

 in the herbarium to olive-buff; in structure 30-70 m thick, com- 

 posed of interwoven hyaline hyphae 3 m in diameter; sterigmata 

 7-10X5-6 n, with the main portion nearly spherical; spores 

 subglobose, even, 5-9X41-6 m- 



Fructifications 1^-6 cm. long, 1-3 cm. broad. 



On wood and fallen branches of frondose species, rarely on 



pine. New England, New York, and Washington. March 

 to November. 



This species is distinguished from T. Eichleriana by larger 

 spores and sterigmata. The spores are usually about 6 X 5 n, 

 with a slight point of attachment at the base; the body portion 

 of the sterigma has about the same dimensions as the spores. 

 The fructifications are too thin and tender to permit of large
