Distinguished from Lachnea scutcllata Gill, by the orange-red, 

 (never vermilion-red) hymenium, by the slightly smaller size, and 

 erect setae, which are most characteristic in a dried state, and by 

 slightly smaller spores.

Gregarious or scattered, sessile, hemispherical and closed, be- 

 coming expanded, clinging close to substratum, fleshy, up to 10 

 mm. diameter; hymenium watery orange-yellow, younger stages 

 tinged with yellow or white; margin erect, thin, fringed with thick- 

 walled, tapering, septate, dark brown setae ; exterior covered with 

 the brown setae which become longer upwards, forming long cilia 

 at the margin ; spores elliptical, obtuse, smooth, hyaline, continuous, 

 eguttulate or one large central guttula, 12-16x6-8 mic. ; paraphyses 

 filiform, septate, slightly clavate, 3 mic. at the apex, filled with 

 orange granules.

Very closely related to Lachnea coprmaria Cke., differing in 

 smaller external cells, slightly smaller spores and very slightly 

 clavate paraphyses with more villose external character. Setae are 

 not confined to the margin as in L. coprinaria Cke. and are not 

 stellate as in Pesisa stercorea Pers.

4. PLICARIA FUCKEL. 



Cups gregarious or caespitose or solitary, fleshy, mainly large, 

 sessile or subsessile, concave to convex, regular or irregular; ex- 

 terior smooth or rough, not hairy ; spores elliptical, smooth or 

 rough, hyaline, continuous.
