 globose or obconic and with the pore nearly closed by the hairs, 

 white, externally white-villose; the hairs granular incrusted, 

 cylindric, 200x5-6 ju; hymenium even, concave; spores hya- 

 line, even, ovoid, flattened on one side, broadest near the base, 

 10-12 X 5-7 /i. 

 Fructifications about i mm. high, J-J mm. broad. 

 On dead stems of Artemisia, Helianthus, and Solidago. South 

 Carolina, Missouri and California. June and July. 



The fructifications of C. villosa resemble those of C. Tilice in 

 form, color, and hairiness but are much smaller than those of 

 C. Tilice, more membranaceous and easily crushed under a cover 

 glass, and have smaller spores. The hymenium is very pale 

 with not more than a very slight yellowish tint.
