Seaver: Studies in Colorado Fungi 



63 



The species appears to be common and widely distributed, speci- 

 mens having been examined from California, Colorado, Montana, 

 Oregon, Washington, and Newfoundland, occurring on dead 

 branches of pines and spruces. 



Dasyscypha chlorella nom. nov. 

 Lachnum viridulum Massee & Morgan; Morgan, Jour. Myc. 8: 

 187. 1902. ?Not Dasyscypha viridula (Schrad.) Sacc. Syll. 

 Fung. 8:437. 1889. 



The type of L. viridulum has not been seen, but our specimens 

 conform well with a colored drawing made from the type by 

 Massee, as well as with the original description. A specimen 

 collected at Tolland seems to conform with the one collected in 

 Geneva Creek Canyon except that the plants have faded to nearly 

 white. 



Lachnella corticalis (Pers.) Fries, Summa Veg. Scand. 365. 



1849 



Common on bark, more rarely on decorticated wood at Golden 

 and in the Geneva Creek Canyon. The species is very variable, 

 the spores being clavate or fusiform, often as long as 26 /x and 

 with 1-3 delicate septa. Lachnella canescens Cook; Phill. Brit. 

 Discom. 259 appears to be identical. 



Lachnella flammea (Albert. & Schw.) Fries, Summa Veg. 



Scand. 365. 1849 

 Peziza flammea Albert. & Schw. Consp. Fung. 319. 1805. 

 Dasyscypha allantospora Earle, PI. Baker. 2 : 5. 1901. 

 Lachnella rhoina Earle, PI. Baker. 2 : 6. 1901. 



Very common on dead twigs of various kinds at Tolland and 

 in the Geneva Creek Canyon. The types of Dasyscypha allanto- 

 spora and Lachnella rhoina have been examined and found to be 

 rather faded specimens of the above. The spore measurements 

 of the latter species given by Professor Earle are too small. 



Lachnella resinarius (Cooke & Phill.) Phill. Brit. Discom. 



242. 1887 



Specimens collected at Tolland conform fairly well with the 

 original description of this species. The plants occur on the 

 bark of some conifer and somewhat resemble Lachnellula chrys-
