Sphaeria obducta. Hist. 125

Covered Sphaeria.

This Spaeria is easily found by picking
up pieces of small rotten sticks in
the moist parts of woods or under
Hedges.  When the Bark is begin to
grow soft and putrid this plant
forms little tubercles under the outer
coat of them and is when it first
makes the eruption covered with a soft
gray downy covering which soon falls
off and leaves the black clusters naked.
