Pileus 6-12 lines broad; stem 8-15 lines long, about 1 line 

 thick. Boots of stumps and water-soaked wood in open places.

This species resembles small forms of Naucoria semior- 

 bicularis in shape and color, but its more viscid pileus, adnata 

 lamellae, solid or merely stuffed stem and peculiar habitat dis- 

 tinguish it. In very young plants a slight whitish veil is 



perceptible.

Pileus thin, firm, subinfundibuliform, slightly floccose squamu- 

 lose or fibrillose, grayish or grayish brown, wavy or lobed on the 

 margin, the lobes often overlapping; hymenium slightly radiately 

 rugose, creamy white; stem short, firm, solid, colored like the 

 pileus; spores elliptic, .0003 of an inch long, .00016 broad. 



Pileus 4-8 lines broad; stem 5-10 lines long, 1-1.5 thick. 

 Gregarious or cespitose. Under beech trees. New York Botani- 

 cal garden. August.

 smaller size, solid, darker colored stem and slightly smaller 

 spores. Formerly referred to the genus Thelephora. 



Clavaria crassipes n. sp.

 the short stem about 1 inch thick. In woods and groves. Sand- 

 lake. August.
