fading in the herbarium, strigose-pilose, the margin whitish 

 fringed; hairs minutely rough, flexuous, 75-90 X 4-4}^ ji, sharp- 

 pointed; spores hyaline, even, subglobose, 6-7J^ \l in diameter, 

 copious. 



Fructifications 250-400 pi in diameter and of about the same 

 height. 



On dead places in living trunk of Magnolia glauca. Newfield, 

 New Jersey. January and April. Apparently local. 



The specimens which I have seen were collected forty years 

 ago and now show only traces of the original color, which is 

 noted on the packets as ' ' yellowish white when fresh, with white 

 fringed margin, and disk white or nearly so." The larger 

 globose spores should distinguish this species from Cyphella 

 sulphur ea and C. laeta. 



Specimens examined: 

 New Jersey: Newfield, /. B. Ellis, four gatherings (in N. Y. Bot. 



Gard. Herb., Burt Herb., and Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb., 61697-
