spores and larger, true, external hairs and less marked confluence

villosa.

Type: in N. Y. State Mus. Herb. 
* Cups springing from an ochraceous, white-margined, tomen- 
tose subiculum, elongated, clavate or cylindrical, deflexed, 
clothed with appressed hairs or tomentum, ochraceous; spores 
hyaline, broadly fusiform, containing one or two nuclei,” even, 
10-11 X 412 y; basidia simple. 
Fructifications about 250-350 yu in diameter. 
Base of living fern stems. Lake Pleasant, New York. August. 
Peck noted that the basal part of the cups sometimes turns 
brown and shrinks in drying so that they appear stipitate. In 
the course of nearly fifty years, the subiculum and cups have 
become clay color with the margin paler. The hairs clothing the 
fructifications are only very slightly colored, even, flexuous, 
75-85 X 3-3l$ u, tapering to а sharp tip; the spores are not 
curved but straight, with equal sides, tapering to both base and 
apex. :
