FUNGUS-FLORA. 



distinct although intermediate forms exist. Far removed 

 from C. cibarius, C. aurantiacus, C. umbonatus, and C. albidus, 

 in the subrnembranaceous, infundibuliform, flocculose pileus 

 and tubular stem. From C. infundibuliformis the present 

 differs in the deeply umbilicate, broader, usually waved and 

 lobed pileus, fuscous when moist, becoming pale when dry, 

 stem hollow, at length compressed and lacunose, tawny- 

 orange, gills more divided, yellow or smoky-grey, and, 

 according to Secretan, never pruinose. Analogous with 

 Craterellus lutescens in habit and colour. 



Subsp. lutescens, Fries, Monogr., ii. p. 208. 



Stem equal or attenuated upwards ; pileus convex, um- 

 bilicate, regular, almost even ; gills dichotomous, coloured as 

 in the typical form. 



Intermediate between the present species and C. 

 buliformis. 



Cantharellus infundibuliformis. Fr. 



Pileus 1-2^ in. across, subrnembranaceous, umbilicate then 

 infundibuliform, usually perforated at the base and opening 

 into the cavity of the stem, floccosely rugose on the surface, 

 yellowish-grey or smoky when moist, pale when dry, at 

 length undulated ; gills decurrent, thick, distant, dicho- 

 tomous, straight, yellow, or grey, especially when old, and 

 then pruinose ; stem 2-3 in. long, about 2 lines thick, hollow, 

 slightly thickened at the base, even, glabrous, always yellow ; 

 spores elliptical, smooth, 910 x 6 /A.

 Illustr., pi. 1109; Cke., Hdbk., p. 341. 



On the ground and on rotten wood. 



Gregarious, somewhat caespitose. For distinctions be- 

 tween the present species and C. tubaeformis, see under the 

 latter. 



Cantharellus cinereus. Fr. 

 Pileus 12 in. across, flesh thin, flexible, infundibuliform, 

 pierced at the base and continuous with the hollow of the 

 stem, ornamented with downy squamules, smoky-brown then 

 blackish ; gills decurrent, narrow, thick, distant, grey ; stem 

 l|-2 in. long, gradually widening upwards, paler than the 

 pileus, hollow ; spores broadly elliptical or sometimes sub- 

 globose, about 7 x 5 u.
