﻿SPECIES 
  OF 
  CANTHARELLUS. 
  35 
  

  

  In 
  Leptocantharellus 
  the 
  pileus 
  is 
  fleshy 
  but 
  thin, 
  and 
  floccose, 
  

   fibrillose 
  or 
  pruinose. 
  It 
  is 
  umbilicate, 
  centrally 
  depressed 
  or 
  funnel- 
  

   shaped 
  and 
  sometimes 
  pervious. 
  The 
  lamellae 
  are 
  mostly 
  sparingly 
  

   branched, 
  and 
  the 
  slender 
  stem 
  is 
  generally 
  hollow. 
  The 
  last 
  three 
  

   groups 
  contain 
  species 
  which 
  have 
  their 
  respective 
  counterparts 
  or 
  

   corresponding 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Craterellus. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  diagnosis 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  quoted 
  the 
  spores 
  are 
  

   said 
  to 
  be 
  white, 
  but 
  in 
  some 
  of 
  our 
  species 
  they 
  vary 
  considerably 
  

   from 
  this 
  color. 
  

  

  The 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  is 
  derived 
  from 
  cantharus, 
  a 
  kind 
  of 
  drink- 
  

  

  ing 
  cup.
