  Clavaria 
  typhuloides 
  n. 
  sp. 
  (Plate 
  II, 
  figs. 
  12-14.) 
  

  

  Very 
  small, 
  about 
  two 
  lines 
  high, 
  rather 
  tough, 
  scattered 
  or 
  

   gregarious, 
  clavate, 
  white, 
  the 
  stem 
  slightly 
  pruinose, 
  gradu- 
  

   ally 
  swelling 
  into 
  the 
  obtuse 
  glabrous 
  subcompressed 
  solid 
  

   club 
  ; 
  spores 
  oblong-elliptical, 
  .0002 
  -.0003' 
  long, 
  with 
  an 
  oblique 
  

   point 
  at 
  the 
  base. 
  

  

  Dead 
  stems 
  of 
  Epilobium 
  angustifolium. 
  Adirondack. 
  

   August. 
  

  

  This 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  section 
  Holocoryne, 
  and 
  is 
  apparently 
  

   allied 
  to 
  C. 
  uncialis, 
  but 
  its 
  much 
  smaller 
  size 
  and 
  usually 
  

   compressed 
  club 
  will 
  serve 
  to 
  distinguish 
  it. 
  When 
  dry 
  the 
  

   white 
  color 
  is 
  well 
  retained 
  and 
  the 
  hymenium 
  has 
  a 
  subpellu- 
  

   cid 
  appearance 
  and 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  firmer 
  texture 
  than 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  

   club.

  Mr. 
  Ellis 
  sends 
  this 
  under 
  the 
  above 
  name. 
  It 
  appears 
  to 
  

   differ 
  from 
  N. 
  encephala 
  in 
  being 
  lighter 
  colored 
  and 
  in 
  having 
  

   the 
  nucleus 
  of 
  a 
  softer 
  texture.

  few 
  crowded

   dingy 
  ochraceous 
  with 
  a 
  slight 
  olivaceous 
  tint 
  ; 
  spores 
  oblong, 
  

   curved, 
  with 
  a 
  slight 
  oblique 
  apiculus 
  at 
  one 
  end,

  then 
  

   uniseptate,

  Our 
  specimens 
  appear 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  this 
  species 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  

   never 
  seen 
  them 
  with 
  bits 
  of 
  grass 
  adhering 
  to 
  the 
  peridium, 
  

   and 
  the 
  spores 
  vary 
  in 
  color 
  from 
  dingy-olivaceous, 
  at 
  first, 
  to 
  

   purplish 
  brown 
  when 
  old.
