Exoperidium light yellowish. Endoperidium smooth, yel- 
lowish, ostiolum pale vermilion within. Footstalk longer, its 
strands somewhat finer than in the last species, yellowish, 7-9" 
long by .75—2™ wide. Spores globose, verrucose, 7—9#. 
Alabama (Peters), West Virginia (A. H. Curtiss). 
Several specimens in the Curtis collection are labeled .W. /utescens, only 
two of which appear really to belong to this species. Although the age of 
the specimens does not admit of any accurate description of their gross 
appearance, they seem to differ from C. céanabarinum in their pale yellowish 
color and longer more highly developed footstalk, which appears to attain a 
greater length than is ever seen in the last mentioned species. The endo- 
peridium, when it still remains, is yellowish within and without, a fact which 
may be due to its being faded with age. The inner faces of the teeth, how- 
ever, have a distinct vermilion tint. The round verrucose spores which vary 
greatly in size at once distinguish the species from C. cinnabarinum, and as 
already mentioned coincide with the description given by Corda.
