  This 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  species, 
  easily 
  recognized 
  by 
  the 
  dark-brown 
  coarsely 
  

   velvety 
  or 
  densely 
  hairy 
  coat 
  of 
  the 
  stem, 
  which 
  character 
  is 
  suggest- 
  

   ive 
  of 
  the 
  specific 
  name. 
  It 
  sometimes 
  grows 
  in 
  large 
  tufts, 
  and 
  then 
  

   the 
  pileus 
  is 
  frequently 
  iiTegular 
  by 
  reason 
  of 
  mutual 
  compression. 
  

   In 
  wet 
  weather 
  the 
  pileus 
  is 
  moist 
  and 
  sometimes 
  obscurely 
  mottled 
  

   with 
  dark 
  spots. 
  Occasionally 
  it 
  emits 
  an 
  unpleasant, 
  dirt-like 
  odor.

  This 
  is 
  our 
  only 
  sessile 
  species. 
  It 
  grows 
  in 
  open 
  places 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  

   in 
  woods. 
  It 
  is 
  quite 
  variable 
  in 
  Europe, 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  description 
  

   in 
  Hymenomycetes 
  Europaei.

  Dec.

  Merulius

  is 
  the 
  variety

  A 
  form 
  with 
  a 
  resupinate 
  cup-like 
  pileus, 
  variety 
  pezizoides, 
  

   is 
  his 
  variety 
  C, 
  and 
  Gomphus 
  pezizoides 
  Pers. 
  The 
  Handbook 
  also 
  

   describes 
  a 
  form 
  with 
  a 
  white 
  pileus 
  tinged 
  with 
  violet. 
  Of 
  these, 
  

   only 
  the 
  var. 
  pezizoides 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  here. 
  It 
  occurs 
  in 
  the 
  Adi- 
  

   rondack 
  mountain 
  region.
