98 Crossland: Recently discovered Fungt tn Yorkshire. 
A small dingy yellowish-white plant, scarcely over-topping 
the moss in which it grows. It appears to resemble certain 
forms of C. cinerea and C. cristata, but is readily distinguished 
from either by the large spores. The structure is also some- 
what exceptional, being composed of very fine, densely matted 
hyphe, which run out into unusually large basidia.
