Upon various decaying fungi, Stereum hirsutum most frequently, 
and upon the ground near where fungi have decayed. 
There are two varieties of this species, one with larger, pointed 
perithecia, as figured by Greville and by Albertini and Schweinitz ; 
the other with smaller and more obtuse perithecia. The sporidia 
vary a good deal in size, as does the colour of the subiculum, which 
is sometimes nearly absent. Sometimes it is almost white, but 
mostly rose-coloured, with a whitish circumference. Fuckel’s H. 
roseus does not seem to differ from the type species except in the 
Ascophore 
Sphseria rosea.
