Sphaerospora trechispora (Berk. & Br.) Sacc. Michelia 1 : 594. 



1879 



On soil in Geneva Creek Canyon. The spores in this species 

 are figured by Massee as being reticulate. I can find no reticula- 

 tions although the spores are coarsely verrucose. Our specimens 

 conform well with European specimens studied but the spores 

 are slightly larger, reaching a maximum size of 26 p in diameter, 

 being much smaller, however, before reaching maturity. No 

 other American specimens have been seen.
