Stature very variable ; when growing in deep sphagnum 

 swamps it is slender, stem up to 8 in. long, naked, brown, 

 pileus small, 1-lJ in. broad, plane, obtusely umbonate, 

 umber. (Fries.)

 Upsal Museum. It can scarcely be confounded with any 

 other species. Spores pip-shaped, elliptical, 10-12 x 6 /x.
