Type: in Collection New York State and a portion from it in 

 Kew Herbarium. 



Fructifications gregarious, rather fieshy, minute, sessile or 

 nearly so but with firm base, white, globose, then expanded and 

 concave, drying cup-shaped, densely white villose; hairs straight, 

 cylindric, granular incrusted, 200 x 6 m; hymenium concave, 

 even, ivory-yellow to vinaceous buff; spores white in a collec- 

 tion on a slide, simple, even, ovate, somewhat curved, 12-18 x 

 6-6 )u, borne four to a basidium. 



Fructifications J-l mm. high, ^-1 mm. broad; stem, when 

 present, about one-half the height of the whole fructification. 



On bark of dead branches of Tilia Americana and Ulmus on 

 the ground. Canada and Vermont westward to Missouri. 

 March to October. Probably common. 



C. Tilice has somewhat the habit of C. alho-violascens but 

 differs from the latter in having no violaceous tints, in being 

 more hairy, in having slenderer spores, and in having at the 

 base a very firm tubercle which offers considerable resistance 

 when the fructification is crushed under a cover glass or sec- 

 tioned. While not cespitose the fructifications of C Tilice are 

 often so near together that seven or eight have been counted on 

 an area a centimeter square. I refer to C. Tilice many American 

 specimens which have been distributed under the name C. pezi- 

 zoides Zopf. The European specimens which Sydow has dis- 

 tributed under the latter name seem to me from the studies and 

 comparisons which I made in Kew Herbarium to be C Curreyi 

 B. & Br. rather than C. Tilice,
