Sphaerid digitata. Hist. 129.

Fingered Sphaeria. a young variety

Clavaria hypoxylon.

This Clavaria I found in the Clough
at Ant-holes in Northowrome [Northowram] near Halifax.

It had spring up in a little hollow
or cavity in the decayng stump of a tree
where I thought it so singular and pretty
that I was induced to sketch it out upon
the spot together with the cavity, and have
represented the whole exactly as I saw it.

The white part is covered with a dry powder
which has a chalky look and is easily wiped off.
