Resembling C. ceruginosum in habit and external appearance, but 
the sporidia are •018-*02 mm. long, whilst in C. ceruginosum they 
are about ’006- 007 mm. long. In C. cerugineum , Berk., the spori- 
dia are. about -01-’012 mm. long. In C. ceruginellum, Karst., they 
are stated to be *007- 012 mm. long. In C. ceruginosum, Karst., 
they are described as ’Ol-’OII mm. long — which is not our C. 
ceruginosum, the latter being probably C. ceruginascens, Karst., with 
sporidia -006- 008 mm. long.
