Lycogala conieum, Pers.
Plasmodiocarp sessile on a broad base, often attenuated
towards the apex, hence more or less conical, shining, purple,
or pale ochraceous-brown, at maturity minutely warted or scurfy;
mass of spores ochraceous-olive, sometimes with a tinge of flesh-
colour; tubes of capillitium numerous, originating from the
inner portion of the cortex, 8— 10 g diameter, almost colourless,
frequently branched and anastomosing laterally, free ends
numerous, markings variable, warts or irregular raised hands
more or less anastomosing or sometimes almost obsolete; spores
globose, minutely warted, 4—6 g diameter.
Dermodium conicum, Rost., Mon., p. 284; Sacc., Syll., vii.,
pt. I., n. 1483.
Greo-arious, '3—1 cm. or more in diameter.
From a careful examination of specimens of the present
species that have been examined and named by Rostafinski, I
am satisfied that the genus Dermodium is synonymous with
Lycogala. In both cases the leading idea is a vein-hke plasmodiocarp
covered with a common cortex, the outside portion
