On rotting oak leaves
spores minutely puctate, 2.5-3.4x5.5-7. This is same plant as no. 7129 which are still more delicate specimens. Looks like crispula in [illegible]. On a tree trunk [illegible] looks like rotten, deciduous. Yes, checked by Adams.
Plants exactly the size and appearance of C. decurrens C. & B. no. 120 but do not turn pink when bruised, the delicate pale tips sharply divaricating [?] in some. Color light yellow when very young & fresh then dark buffy ochraceous & with pink & olive tints where rubbed (after a long time). It is much more delicate than var. australis. 1.5-2.5 cm high, delicate. Taste mild & pleasant.
