On decaying wood. [United States.]
The whole plant consists of densely woven down, forming an effused, indeterminate
mass, the hymenium composed of erect or oblique spines, which
are villous and frequently abortive, so as easily to be taken for some species
ofthe order Hyplwmyceles. The colour varies from ferruginous to brownish.
