E. sulphured is noteworthy by its greenish yellow color and 

 spores much larger than those of other species of this genus. 

 Collections of this species are likely to be included in Hydnum 

 or Odontia, unless examination of sectional preparations is made 

 with the microscope to show that teeth covered by the hymenium 

 are not present. 



Specimens examined: 

 Florida: Palm Beach, R. Thaxter, 52, type (in Farlow Herb, and 



in Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb., 43940).
