Clavaria gyrans. Hist. 112. f. 1.

Twisted Clavarid.

This delicate Clavaria I gathered in a
deep gutter on the stems of withered grass
and small sticks which lay near the edge
of the water and were very moist or
wet.  The Clavaria digitata grew in
plenty near the place, and a thought
struck me that this was that plant
in its first stage; or immediately from
seed. but finding it had been considered
as a species by other, and having already
drawn on my head some ill will by attempting
to restore some imaginary species to their orginals,
I dared not to declare my opinion.
