Plants gregarious or scattered, stipitate with the stem short, 
about 2 mm. thick and gradually expanding above into the cup 
and reaching a maximum length of about 5 mm., cup at first 
closed and of about the same diameter as the stem, gradually ex- 
panding and becoming turbinate with the margin more or less 
crenate and fringed, hymenium bright-orange, externally paler 
and tomentose, or with a few pale hairs about the margin of the 
cup, reaching a diameter of 1 cm. or occasionally larger; asci 
cylindric or subcylindric, gradually tapering below into a stem- 
like base, 300-350X20 spores usually i-seriate, obliquely 
arranged in the ascus with the ends overlapping, containing usually 
one or more, rarely two, large oil-drops and often several smaller 
ones, at maturity delicately reticulated, reticulations sometimes 
indistinct and broken, ellipsoid with the ends somewhat narrowed, 
20-25 X 12-14 Mi paraphyses slightly enlarged above and densely 
filled with oil-drops and granules, about 4 ^ in diameter at their 
apices. 
On soil among mosses (especially Polytrichum) , apparently 
growing on the dead leaves and often hidden by the living plants. 
Type locality: Europe. 
Distribution: New Hampshire and New York to Iowa; also 
in Europe.

Plants gregarious or crowded, at first subglobose, expanding 
and at maturity subdiscoid or often irregular from mutual pres- 
sure, 5 mm. to 1 cm. in diameter, at maturity pale-orange, ex- 
ternally a little paler and minutely roughened; asci cylindric 
above, reaching a diameter of 12-15 ju,; spores obliquely i-seriate 
and closely pressed together and showing a ring-like or hood-like 
process at either end on being separated, smooth and containing 
one or two oil-drops, at maturity strongly roughened, roughen-
