On spruce fir. Dec. Badminton.
Perfectly globose, but fixed only by a small portion of the surface, which
slightly proj eots, smooth, bay, reflecting metallic tints like a Phyaarwm ; flocci
divided above two or three times. Spores ('0003—'0004 in.) 'OOyS—'01 m.m.
diameter. Perfectly distinct from every other Trichia by the colour of the
spores and metallic coat, in addition to the flagelliform threads.—E. A Br.
This is certainly not a good Trichia, as the threads are attached to, and
spring from, the inner surface of the peridium. It will more properly constitute
the type of a distinct genus.
