72 FUNGUS-FLOKA. 



Calocera cornea. Fr. 



Tufted, rooting, clubs smooth, viscid, subulate, simple or 

 rarely with a minute branchlet, orange-yellow or pale 

 yellow, several connate at the base ; spores cylindric-oblong, 

 7-8 X 5 p.. 



Calocera cornea, Fries, S. M. i. p. 486; Cke., Hdbk., 

 p. 339. 



On stumps and decorticated trunks, especially oak. Kigid 

 when dry. Known by the tufted, tapering and pointed 

 sporophores, which vary from ^-f in. high. 



*** Uribranched, solitary. 



Calocera stricta. Fr.

 yellow ; base abrupt, encircled with white tomentum. 



Calocera stricta, Fries, Epicr., p. 581 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 340. 



On trunks. Occasionally two sporophores spring from 

 the same base, but they are not habitually caespitose as in 

 C. cornea. 



Var. epiphylla, Fr., differing from the type in being 

 2-3 in. high, smooth at the base, and abruptly rooting and 

 growing amongst pine leaves, has not, so far as I am aware, 

 occurred in this country.

Simple, solitary, about ^ in. high, acute, longitudinally 

 striate or rugose when dry, yellow ; spores cylindric-oblong, 

 8x 4/t. 



Calocera striata, Fries, Epicr., p. 582 ; Cke., Hdbk., p. 681. 



On trunks. Somewhat resembling C. cornea, but dis- 

 tinguished by being solitary, and striate when dry. 



Calocera glossoides. Fr. 



Simple, solitary, yellow, somewhat tremellose, round and 

 slender at the base, incrassated and compressed above, 

 obtuse ; spores elliptic-oblong, slightly curved.
