The hymenium is commonly said to be papillose, but these (so-called) papillae are for the most part spurious or accidental, generally arising from incrusted Sphcerice, and disappearing when the fungus grows on an even surface. Thus also the occasional papillae in Stereum rubiginosum, hirsutum, &c., arise from the rough surface on which they grow. In a few species papilla are present when they are in full vigour, but these collapse when the plant dries. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 629. GENUS XLIII.—Craterellus (crater, a bowl). Fr. Gen. Hymen. Hymenium waxy-membranaceous, distinct, but adnate to the hymenophore, definitely inferior, continuous, smooth, even or rugose. Spores white. Growing on the ground, fleshy or membranaceous, furnished with an entire pileus, stipi- tate, autumnal, allied to Cantliarelli. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 630. * Tubfsfortn, pervious to the base of the stem. ** Infundibuliform, stem stuffed. *** irregularly shaped, pileus and stem fleshy. * Tub&form, pervious to the base of the stem. 1. C. lutescens Fr.—Pileus cent. (1-4 in.) broad, fuscous, some- what membranaceous, tubaeform, soon pervious, undulated, flocculose. Stem about 5 cent. (2 in.) long, hol- low, smooth, yellow. Hymenium yellow, £c., remotely ribbed, even then rugose with interwoven veins. LXXXIII. Craterellus lutescens.
