The crowded sporangia form compact cakes of irregular form, 

 varying from a to 1^ in. across, and about 1 mm. thick. 

 The surface is generally chestnut-brown, often with olive shade, 

 and minutely rugulose. The hypothallus often extends con- 

 siderably beyond the sporangia. Differs from C. cinnaba- 

 rinum in the verruculose spores, and from C. Bcrkeleyi in 

 the absence of wings to the triangular supports of the apex 

 of the sporangium.
