Ag. applicatus, stemless, orbicular, deeply ash-colored to blackish, horizontal, vertically attached at the back, with lamellae extending from the entire margin toward the impressed-adnate pressed and attached center. Batsch. El. fung. Cont. 1. p. 171. t. 29. f. 125. Sowerb. fung. t. 301.

β. pezizoides, minute, brownish-black, with an entire, vertical or horizontal, slightly wrinkled pileus, attached at the base by white villus soft hairs.

Ag. pezizoides cup-shaped, sessile, olive-brown, with unequal, twin lamellae within the cup. Nees ab Esenb. in N. Actis Academ. Caesar. vol. IX. p. 249. t. 17. f. 18. Fries l. c. p. 276. (juvenile).

γ. carpineus, ash-colored, glabrous, at first shaped like a Peziza cup fungus, then halved, horizontal, reflexed bent backward, with distant, ash-colored lamellae. Tab. XXVI. Fig. 8. a, b.

A rather rare species, it grows on trunks and decaying willows; β is found more frequently in Switzerland, especially on fir wood; δ I met with only once on a rotting trunk of Carpinus Betulus European hornbeam, and it seems sufficiently related to A. striatulus, though it is more ash-colored, especially in the lamellae.

Ag. epixylon, according to Bulliard, at its first age resembles an inverted cup, with the margin often ciliated fringed with hairs around the base; in maturity, it becomes scale-shaped
