It was first found in Denmark by Holmskjold near Aarhus 

 September 11. 1765, but he did not publish his discovery until 

 1799. Oeder is the first one to describe and delineate this fine fungus 

 in the "Flora Danica" 1769 from specimens brought back from Ice- 

 land by Koenig. Koenig is also sometimes mentioned as its author, 

 this is incorrect for he has not described it; but in the succeeding 

 year O. F. Muller published a new description in his "Flora Islandica". 

 It may sometimes be found as completely circular, discoid specimens, 

 sometimes as large irregularly auriculate ones like an Otidea; Schu- 

 macher has given different names to the two forms, and Rostrup 

 (97 m *^) also mentions that he has found the unilaterally developed 

 ascomata of up to 2 cm. in height on twigs of Alnus near Frederiksdal. 



Its conidial stage is called Dothiorina Tulasnei (Sacc.) v. Hehn

Noticed on' twigs and branches of Alnus, Betala, Fagus, Quercus and Pirus
