C. pistillaris is easily distinguished by its large, clavate clubs, 

 sometimes split at the apex when very large. The spore di- 

 mensions given above are after Cotton and Wakefield; the 

 spores are 9-12x4 '/irb 1 /. u in such American specimens as I have 

 seen. Craterellw pwtillaris, a rarer species with us, is of some- 

 what similar aspect but has its clubs truncate.
