  The 
  receptacles 
  are 
  about 
  equal

  size 
  to 
  those 
  of

   gallinaceus, 
  which 
  has 
  a 
  similar 
  habitat, 
  but 
  a 
  paler 
  color 
  and 
  shorter 
  

   spores. 
  This 
  and 
  the 
  next 
  following 
  species 
  were 
  erroneously 
  referred 
  

   to 
  the

  The 
  spores 
  are 
  similar 
  in 
  shape 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  P. 
  atrata. 
  They 
  are 
  

   extremely 
  narrow 
  and 
  probably 
  become 
  five 
  to 
  seven-septate 
  when 
  

   mature.
