lobed ; hymenium dark-cinereous and rugose when moist, the obscure 

 crowded irregular wrinkles abundantly anastomosing, nearly even 

 and paler when dry ; stem short, hollow, colored like the hymenium ; 

 spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, .00025 to .0003 in. long, .0002 

 to .00025 in. broad. 



Plant single or caespitose, 2 to 3 in. high, pileus 1 to 2 in. broad, 

 stem about 2 lines thick. 



Ground under spruce trees. Adirondack mountains. August. 



This very rare species has not been found by us since its discovery 

 in Keene Valley, Essex county, in 1877. It is closely related to C. 

 cornucopioides, from which its shorter more funnel-shaped pilens, 

 longer paler stem and smaller spores will distinguish it. It is also 

 apparently similar to C. sinuosus and C. crisjms, and both it and 

 they may yet prove to be different forms of one very variable species. 

 In all of our specimens the pileus is pervious and the stem hollow 

 to the base. This last character will distinguish the .species from 

 both those mentioned. In some specimens the pileus is much lobed 

 or multifid on the margin. The hymenium is darker colored and 

 much more rugose or uneven when moist than it is when dry. In 

 the dried specimens it is pale-cinereons, often with a tinge of yellow, 

 and its color extends to the base of the stem. The darker color of 

 the pileus is continued downwards in the cavity of the stem. In 

 general appearance this species corresponds more closely to Can- 

 tharellus cinereus than does C. cornucopioides, which is sometimes 

 compared with that species. 



Craterellus lutescens Fr. 



Yellowish Craterellus. 



Pileus thin, submembrauous, varying from convex and umbilicate 

 to tubiform or funnel-shaped, often becoming pervious, yellowish, 

 dingy -yellow or brownish, the margin frequently lobed, wavy or irregu- 

 lar; hymenium nearly even or distinctly and sometimes densely rugose- 

 wrinkled, yellow ; stein rather slender, subflexuous, glabrous, hollow, 

 yellow ; spores subelliptical, .0004 to .0005 in. long, .00025 to .0003 

 in. broad. 



Plant single or gregarious, occasionally caaspitose, 2 to 3 in. high, 

 pileus 1 to 2 in. broad, stem 1.5 to 3 lines thick. 



Moist places in woods and swamps. Sandlake and Helderberg 

 mountains. July and August.
