Syll. Fung. 21: 362. 1912. 
‘‘Sparsa; eupulis primo urceolatis, brevissime stipitatis, demum 
cylindraceis, denique late sessilibus, sursum attenuatis, oribus 
incrassatis, integris, glabris, stramineis nitentibus, vel candidis

13. S. villosa Fries, Syst. Myc. 2: 200. 1823; Hym. Eur. 596. 
1874; Schweinitz, Am. Phil. бос. Trans. №. S. 4:180. 1832; басе. 
Syll. Fung. 6: 425. 1888. 
Fructifications gregarious, cylindric, villose, white. Related 
to the preceding species (S. candida, S. fasciculata, S. pallens) 
but a little larger, distinctly villose, by this approaching S. 
ochracea. On fallen rotten wood. 
The above is a translation of the original description, to which 
I have found no distinctive additions from later European 
research. The description is given here because American my- 
cologists have so frequently referred gatherings to S. villosa, & 
species which seems to be imperfectly known in its own country.
