It is a common superstition that the ripe spores may cause blind- 

 ness if they enter the eyes, for this reason this fungus is also in Da- 

 nish called "Blindesvamp" (blinding fungus, R 75 ^°). The sterile bases 

 which remain when the spores are blown away are used as a remedy 

 for staunching of blood (see Schum. 08 " &. 26 "°) ; no doubt it is this 

 sterile base which Kylhng (1688 ^'') calls: "Fungus calicaris major, 

 grey, big fungus like a cup".
