The whole plant yellow. Stem two lines long. Pileus two lines wide. Relhan. 
Its colour varies in different shades of yellow, and its pileus is either 
nearly flat, or cupped in various degrees of hollowness. The figure of 
Bulliard is excellent, arid he well observes that it grows upon the annual 
shoots of branches.

Opake, leathery, fleshy, funnel-shaped. Stem half to a quarter of an inch 
high, tapering downwards, often bent in different directions. Pileus one- 
tenth to one-fourth of an inch diameter, funnel-shaped, but the hollow 
above not deep on account of the thickness of the flesh. 
Bulliard only finds it on the coriaceous fruits, as acorns, chesnuts, &c. and 
Batsch says his grew on the seeds of a hornbeam; but though the fruit 
of such trees may be its more common nidus, I observed it growing in 
large clusters on a decayed stick in the month of October 1791. Mr. 
Relhan informed me, that he had found the plant of Batsch in Madingley 
Wood, but omitted to say on what it grew.

From one-fourth to three-fourths of an inch diameter; whilst small shaped

turned up like a saucer; perfectly smooth, thin, semi-transparent, watery 
white, with a tinge of pink within.
