ochraceous. In resupinate forms of P. igniarius the mycelium
is white.
61. P. nitidus, F r .; effused, thin, yellow; circumference

cases to orange.
65. P. purpureus, F r .; broadly and widely effused; mycelium
mucedinous, flocculose, white, creeping on the surface of

On old deal boards. Very rare. King’s Cliffe. Some of
tlio patches are barren, and some at length become confluent.
67. P. medulla-panis, Fr.; effused, determinate, subun-
dulatcd, firm, smooth, white ; circumference naked, immargi-
nate, composed almost entirely of middle-sized, rather long,
entire pores.
On decaying wood. Not uncommon if Sow. t. 387. f. 7
be the plant of Eries, as it certainly is of Persoon.
68. P. vitreus, F r .; effused, subundulated, indeterminate,
dirty-white, somewhat hyaline; mycelium thin, separable,
matted together into a mass like kid leather; pores very
small, round, long, obtuse, entire.
On decayed wood. Bare. West of England, C. E. B.
69. P. obdueens, F r .; effused, incrnsting, innate, firm,
white, composed entirely of very small, crowded, equal pores,

On dead wood and fallen branches. Not uncommon.
Sometimes yellowish.
71. P. moUnscus, F r.; effused, thin, soft, white; circumference
byssoid, composed of radiating fibrils; pores central
or collected in patches, small, round, unequal and torn, tui’ii-

margin. I have found it, however, abundantly on larch, with
the margin sometimes radiating, sometimes abrupt. ■ i f
