argillaceous. Lamelle seceding. rather close, brown, black-punctate.

tundate-attached, close, violaceous then brown-cinnamon. Spores 
brown, oblique, .0090.0056 mm. 
On the ground in woods. Pileus 14-3 in. in diameter, stipe 14-3 in,

brown. Spores .005X.004 mm. 
Upon trunks especially of beech. Densely ceespitose; pileus 2-3 in.
