  Flocci 
  procumbent, 
  interwoven, 
  branched, 
  forming 
  a 
  thin, 
  soft, 
  

   tomentose, 
  white 
  or 
  cream-colored 
  stratum, 
  the 
  branches 
  widely 
  

   divergent, 
  sometimes 
  opposite, 
  narrowed 
  and 
  flexuous 
  toward 
  the 
  

   tips 
  and 
  bearing 
  scattered, 
  alternate 
  spicules 
  or 
  sporophores 
  ; 
  spores 
  

   oval 
  or 
  elliptical, 
  .0005 
  to 
  .0008 
  in. 
  long, 
  .0003 
  to 
  0005

  county.

  From 
  Acremonium 
  album 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  habit 
  and 
  habitat, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  

   in 
  the 
  flexuous 
  terminal 
  portions 
  of 
  the 
  flocci 
  and 
  their 
  alternate 
  

   pointed 
  spicules 
  ; 
  and 
  from 
  Acremonium 
  alternatum 
  it 
  is 
  distinguished 
  

   by 
  its 
  elliptical 
  spores. 
  

  

  Sepedonium 
  brunneum. 
  

  

  Effused, 
  pulverulent, 
  brown 
  ; 
  spores 
  globose, 
  rough,

  This 
  is 
  similar 
  in 
  habit 
  to 
  Sepedonium 
  chrysospermum, 
  from 
  which 
  

   its 
  dark 
  snuff-brown 
  spores 
  distinguish 
  it. 
  Like 
  that 
  fungus, 
  this 
  

   is 
  also 
  probably 
  a 
  mere 
  state 
  of 
  some 
  species 
  of 
  Hypomyces. 
  

  

  Morcliella 
  angusticeps.

  Pileus 
  narrowly 
  conical 
  or 
  oblong-conical, 
  acute 
  or 
  subobtuse, 
  1 
  to 
  

   2 
  in. 
  long, 
  its 
  diameter 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  scarcely 
  exceeding 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  

   stem, 
  pale-buff 
  or 
  cream-colored, 
  adnate, 
  sometimes 
  a 
  little 
  curved, 
  

   the 
  costse 
  longitudinal, 
  anastomosing 
  or 
  connected 
  by 
  transverse 
  

   veins 
  ; 
  stem 
  subequal, 
  hollow, 
  furfuraceous, 
  even 
  or 
  sometimes 
  

   marked 
  by 
  irregular 
  longitudinal 
  ridges 
  and 
  furrows, 
  whitish, 
  about 
  

   equal 
  to 
  the 
  pileus 
  in 
  length 
  ; 
  asci 
  cylindrical 
  ; 
  spores 
  elliptical, 
  

   yellowish, 
  .0008

  This 
  morel 
  is 
  perhaps 
  too 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  Morchella 
  conica 
  Pers., 
  

   but 
  if 
  that 
  species 
  is 
  correctly 
  represented 
  in 
  Mycographia, 
  plate 
  81, 
  

   fig. 
  315, 
  our 
  plant 
  is 
  easily 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  much 
  more 
  narrow 
  

   pileus, 
  which 
  scarcely 
  exceeds 
  the 
  stem 
  in 
  diameter. 
  The 
  para- 
  

   physes 
  of 
  that 
  species 
  are 
  also 
  represented 
  as 
  filiform, 
  and 
  are 
  de- 
  

   scribed 
  (1. 
  c. 
  p. 
  182; 
  as 
  thickened 
  above. 
  In 
  our 
  plant 
  I 
  find 
  no 
  

   such 
  paraphyses, 
  but 
  instead 
  of 
  them 
  there 
  are 
  oblong 
  or 
  subclavate
