ODONTIA. 



Plants resupinate; subiculum of interwoven fibers, bearing 

 crested warts or spines.

Odontia tenuis Pk. 



Effused, very thin, tender, dry, pallid, the margin not clearly

 crowded, sometimes entire; mycelium sometimes collected into 

 dingy yellowish branching slender threads. 



On decayed wood. Near Chicago. Harper. 



CRATERELLUS: 



Plants fleshy or membranaceous, smoothish, terrestrial or 

 rarely epixylous, cup-shaped or umbrella-shaped, stipitate; 

 hymenium ribbed or sometimes rugulose. Allied to the Canth-
