Helotium sordidatiun Karst. & Starb. 
The specimens dry a blackish brown. The spores are clavate, 
sharply pointed at one end, and not guttuiate. This collection was 
identified by Dr. Rehm as H. phyllophilum (Desm.) Karst., which ac¬ 
cording to his description (Rehm, Disc., p. 796) does not have pointed 
spores but the spores often do have two large oil globules. We find 
the size of the spores to be 17-19x4 mic. The short asci, 80 mic., dis¬ 
tinguish the species from H. epiphyllum (Pers.) Fr. 
Helotium sublenticulare (FI. dan.) Fr. 
On dead alder limbs, Fellow’s woods, Foscora, August 1905; Rehm 
vid.

Cemetery woods, Madison, June 1909 (J. Dodge); Rehm vid.
