Had. — In swampy places. Forms capitata and clavata on Hypnum

Mitrula globosa, Sommerf., Suppl. Flor. Lapp. 287, pi. iii, 
1826; Fries, Elench. i, 224, 1828; Sacc., Syll. viii, n. 109, 1889. 
(PI. XIII, Fig. 54.) 
Scattered ; entire fungus 3-5 cm. high, every part dark bay ; 
ascigerous portion globose, even, solid, about 5 mm. diameter, not 
decurrent down the stem, which is about 2 mm. thick, narrowed 
towards the base, slightly crooked, solid, glabrous. 
Had. — Sandy ground. 
Distr. — Lapland (Saltdalen, Nordland, Sommerfelt). 
The present species, although imperfectly described, appears to be 
a very marked fungus, and should be found again. Sommerfelt 
states that he observed it for several years in the same locality, in 
October. Sommerfelt’s figure is reproduced. 
Mitrula sclerotiorum, Rostr., Mykol. Meddel. 1888, p. 10; 
Sacc., Syll. viii, n. 113, 1889. 
Ascigerous portion globose-ellipsoid, pallid, margin adnate to the 
stem, which is 5-8 mm. long, \-i mm. thick. Asci cylindrical, 
pedicel elongated, 35-60 x 4-5 n ; spores fusoid, 7-8 x 1-2 n. 
Had. — Springing from a sclerotium on the fallen stems of Lotus 
and Medicago. 
Distr. — Germany (Constanz, Rostrup). 
May possibly prove to belong to some genus belonging to the 
Pezizeae. 
Mitrula microspora, Massee , Brit. Fung.-Fl. iv, 483, 1895. 
(PI. XIII, Figs. 55-57.) 
Entire fungus 3-6 cm. high, black; ascigerous portion narrowly 
clavate, obtuse, sometimes irregular in form and more or less laterally 
compressed, glabrous, differentiated from the stem and a little shorter, 
1-5-2 cm. long, 4-7 mm. broad, more or less viscid when moist;
