Material examined: — USA. Tehama Co.: 3 miles W of Child’s Meadows, 5200 ft., on dead twigs and duff, 20 May 1967, DTK 6237 (as L. carestiae, UC 1408244!); Well’s Cabin Campground, 6300 ft., on dead twigs, 24 June 1967, DTK 6361 (as L. carestiae, UC 1408246!). Notes: — The two examined specimens seem to be intermediate between L. ovoideum and L. ovoideoechinulatum var. microsporum Mar. Mey. & Poulain. They differ from the first by smaller spores and by blue, violet and green reflections dominating in the peridium, that are persisting in detached parts of the peridium. From the latter they differ by less delicate capillitium and spore ornamentation that is in the form of warts, not spines. This morphotype has also larger dimensions of sporocarps (total heigth) and longer stalk than the two other species. More material is needed to unequivocally identify these two collections.
