Cantharellus retirugus. Fr. 



Pileus ^-| in. across, inembranaceous. expanded, more 01 

 less fan-shaped or irregular, margin wavy and lobed, greyish- 

 white; subsessile or rarely produced behind into a short, 

 flattened, stem-like base, attached by fibrils ; gills radiating 

 from the centre, very thin, anastomosing ; spores broadly 

 elliptical, smooth, 10 x 8 /*. 



Cantharellus retirugus, Fries, Epicr., p. 368 ; Cke., Hdbk., 

 p. 343; Cke., Illustr., pi. 1112A. 



On mosses, Hypnum, &c. 



Agreeing with C. muscigenus in growing on mosses, but 

 differing in the absence of a true slender stem, and in the 

 very delicate, anastomosing gills. 



Cantharellus lobatus. Fr. 



Pileus 7^1 in. across, inembranaceous, horizontal, more or 

 less orbicular, but with the margin deeply lobed, sessile, 

 brownish, pale when dry ; gills radiating from a point, thick 

 and fold-like, branched, distinct. 



Cantharellus lobatus, Fries, Syst. Myc., i. p. 323; Cke., 

 Hdbk., p. 343 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 1112B. 



On mosses in swampy places. 



Distinguished by being completely sessile, and the margin 

 of the pileus deeply incised. 



In swampy places on Hypnum, sphagnum, &c., in the spring. 

 Sessile, horizontal, membranaceous, somewhat circular, 

 hardly 1 in. broad, adfixed at first, entire, then sublateral 

 and lobed, dark brown when growing, much paler when dry. 

 Gills fold-like, rather distant, distinct, branched, coloured 

 like the pileus. (Fries.) 



Wet boggy places, on moss, as Hypnum cuspidatum and 

 revolens. April autumn. Pileus 2 lines, 1J in. broad, 

 membranaceous, horizontal, often at length vertical, attached 

 laterally by a few byssoid fibres, which sometimes run down 

 the moss for some distance, pale cinereous-umber, margin 

 nearly white, under a lens most minutely scabrous, as if it 

 were innato-fibrillose, occasionally there are two or three 

 zones. Hymenium paler, consisting of radiating more or less
