Bull. 396. 3— Vaill. 11. 1. 2. 3 —Mich. 86. 2. 
The distinguishing marks of this species, are the scolloped edge, and the 
greyish colour of the outer surface. Mr. Woodward. Stem a quarter of 
an inch high and half as much in diameter. Sometimes there is no stem. 
Pileus pale buff, thin, transparent, scolloped at the edge, shaped like the 
cup of an acorn : about one inch diameter. (The scolloped edge, so re¬ 
markable in Bulliard’s figures, is sometimes scarcely perceptible: 
whole plant cream-colour: outer surface, especially in the younger plants, 
frosted and granulated. The shape when growing luxuriantly varies from 
a saucer to a wine-glass and even a globe with a very small orifice, and 
is sometimes an irregular confused mass. It is found from half to two or 
three inches in diameter: a beautiful Peziza. E.)
