"Plants 1-4 cm. high, entirely white, in drying often stained 



lored. with 



base and base of 



primary branches as in C. muscoides, smooth above, repeatedly 

 and dichotomously branched, angles arcuate, branches slightly 

 diverging, terminal branchlets short, acute. Spores white, sub- 

 globose, with a prominent short stalk where attached to sterigma, 

 minutely and distantly roughened, with an oil drop, ?>-4 u in 

 diameter. — C. U. herb., No. 22131, ground under pines in mixed 

 woods, Six Mile Creek, Ithaca, N. Y. Sept. 25, 1907, Coil & 

 Humphrey." 



Now with trunk pinkish buff and the branches slightly darker 



— about cinnamon buff; the mycelial coat above mentioned is a 

 cortex like that of many species of Tremellodcndron but the. 

 basidia are cylindric and afforded! no evidence of longitudinal 

 septation ; many spores even, but some minutely and distinctly 



rough as stated, about 3-3Vo u. 



Lachnocladium vestipes,=Clavaria vestipes Peck, should 

 be considered in connection with C. asverula and C. asperulans.

 Syll. Fung. 21 : 428. 1912. Plate 6, fig. 46. 



Type: in Cornell Univ. Herb. 

 "Plant stalked, very much branched, 3-4 cm. high, branching 



2-3 cm. broad. Stems slender about 3mm. in diameter. Primary 

 branching dichotomous or subpalmate. The branches branching 

 in a similar way, more or less flexuous and often slightly flat- 

 tened. Axils acute or rounded. Plants entirely white, flour 

 white, soft, flexible not brittle. Spores white, angular to tuber- 

 culate like the spores of some species of Inocybe, 5-7x3-3,5 u. — 



C. U. herb., No. 22641, on ground, mixed woods by Fern Walk 

 near Sparrow's Pond, Chapel Hill, N. C, W. C. Coker, Oct. 2, 08." 

 Fructifications now between cream-buff and pinkish buff; 

 many branches are flattened, but not all, and have curved to- 

 gether in drying; spores hyaline, withj nodular surface, 5-6X 



3-4 M .
