On dead fern stems. Rare.
This species varies in different individuals from bright orange-red to rose-
colour, occasionally the upper part of the stem is brown ; the gills are ornamented
with a bright orange margin ; the pileus in the young state is oblong,
oval obtuse, minutely furfuraeeous at the apex, marked with darker, sligbtly
anastomosing veins, which at length, in consequence of the quicker growth
of the subjacent stratum, and the collection of the veins themselves into
bundles radiating from the centre, form striæ on the pileus. The stem under
a high magnifier is often streaked with veins like the pileus.—M .J .B . A
variety on oak leaves is described in “ Eng. FI.”
