though frequently growing in clusters, in one instance as many as seven 
together. Root consisting of many long, wiry, brown fibres, with which 
it entwines and covers the surface of the Tuber, but never penetrates its 
substance. Stem slender, about one inch long. Head oval, half an inch 
high, covered with minute spherules. It differs from Cl. digitata, in size, 
in being stipitate, and unbranched; and from Cl. cupressiformis in having 
a longer stem, on oval head, and the spherules much more minute; and 
from both in its peculiar habit, and the long fibres which form the root.
