The yellow veins, snbfusifonn, rough, dark-coloured spores, the frequently
coloure!a sporophor’es, and the cheese-like scent which
to everythteg which is near, are the criterions of
it is of a greenish-yellow, bnt this soon wears off when ru b b e / or «»ipore“

than the neighbouring cells, and have a resinous appearance. A. <£.. Br.

Variable in size, from that of a hazel-nut to a walnut. Peridium at first

substance, larger cells, more transparerft, smoother spores,
which are frequently more abruptly acuminate.— a. A.

The spores are far more globose than in any other species, and are either
quite obtuse or minutefy apioulate. Theinner membrane ofthe spores often
contracts, so as to present a very singular appearance. A few elongated
spores are mixed with them, but the normal form is globose. They are
larger than in II. tener, but smaller than in II. decorus.

About 2 lines high, obovate or somewhat depressed, pure white, yellowish
brown when dry, and then resembling strongly Sclerotium complanatum, nearly
smooth ; dirty white within, furnished with a large, distinct, absorbing base.
Cavities of the hymenium large for the size of the fungus, clothed sparingly
with the rust-coloured spores. Sporophores clavate, frequently forked or
irregular, haying two spores on rather long spicules. Spores short, minute,
broadly elliptic, at first smooth, at length rather rough, obtusely apicnlate.
