Fructifications membranaceous-soft, somewhat sessile, ob- 

 versely cup-shaped and then dimidiate, helmet-shaped, even, 

 whitish, the margin entire; hymenium at length rufescent, 

 slightly wrinkled; spores ovate or obovate, 10 x 8 /* 



Fructifications 4-15 mm. in diameter. 



On mosses. Ohio. 



When young entire, cup-shaped; gray when moist, snow- 

 white when dry, then rufescent. The above description is that 

 given in European works. The species has been reported from 

 Ohio by Morgan but I have not studied his specimens nor any 

 European specimens of this species. The form and coloration 

 of the pileus and the large spores should distinguish C galeata 

 from the other species which occur on mosses in North America.
