72. P. terrestris, Fr. ; effused, arachnoid, byssoid, delicate,
fugacious, white ; pores central, very small, at length rufous.
On the naked soil, or on rotten wood. Earc. Linlithgowshire,
Dr. Bauchop.
73. P. vaporarius, Fr. ; effused, innate ; mycelium creeping
amongst the tissue of the wood, floccose, white; pores
large, angular, white, turning pallid, crowded into a close,
firm, persistent stratum.
On fallen branches Everywhere in woods.
74. P. aneirinus, Fr. ; effused, thin, subinnate ; circumference
byssoid, white ; pores large, cellular, waxy, angular,
smooth, white, then tawny.
On fallen twigs. Rare. Edinburgh, Dr. Bauchop.
75. P. Stephensü, Fr. ; orbicular, white, at length confluent
; margin sometimes slightly reflexed, tomentose ; pores
broad, nearly equal, angular ; dissepiments rather thick ; edge
villous.
On twigs of privet. West of England, Dr. Stephens,
C. E. B. A very fine species, resembling a resupinate Hexa-
ffonia. Pores one-twentieth of an inch across.
76. P. Vaillantü, Fr. ; white, thin ; mycelium free, forming
distinct strings, sometimes joined together by a membrane;
pores crowded here and there, short, rather large,
thin, unequal.—Sow. t. 326.
On dead wood. Very rare. Glasgow, Klotzsch. Easily
known by its very peculiar mycelium.
21. TEAMETES, Fr.
Hymenophorum descending into the trama of the pores
without any change, which are permanently concrete with the
pileus. Pores entire.*
* Some o f the Folypori, as F. versicolor, for example, have the trama, though
1. T. pini, Fr.; pileus corky, hard, pulvinate, concentrically
sulcate, cracked and pitted, rough, ferruginous-brown,
then black, tawny-ferruginous within; pores large, roundish
or oblong, yellow, inclining to red-hrown.
On pine-trunks. Rare. Scotland, Klotzsch.
2. T. snaveolens, F r .; pileus corky, rather soft, pulvinate,
villous, zoneless, white; pores round, rather large, obtuse,
white, inclining to brown.—Fluss. i. t. 43.
On willows, limes, etc. Not common. Bristol, Dr. Stephens,
etc. King’s Cliffe. Smell like that of aniseed.
3. T. odora, F r .; pileus corky, elastic, uneven, gradually
becoming smooth, zoneless, pallid; pores minute, round, equal,
dirty-white, inclining to ochre.—Bolt. t. 162.
On willows. Rare. Bnstol, Dr. Stephens. Very nearly related
to the last. I t has the same smell.
4. T. gibbosa, F r . ; dirty-white; pileus corky, villous, obsoletely
zoned, extended behind and gibbous; pores linear,
straight, equal.—Sow. t. 194; Fluss. ii. t. 4.
On gate-posts, stumps, etc. Rare. Bristol, C. E. B. Resembles
somewhat thick specimens of Lenzites betulina. Very
variable, however, in thickness. Always truly porous, though
the pores are elongated. Sowerby’s plant grew at the foot of
a poplar.
thin, o f the same structure with the hymenophorum. These, however, are not
closely allied to Tramefes, and have been separated by Fries under the generic
name of Folystiotus, the technical character being derived from the fact that
the pores, which are developed in a centrifugal direction, are perpendicular to
the fibrillose stratum above the hymenophorum, whereas in Trametes the
hymenophorum is not distinct from the rest o f the pileus. I have retained for
the present the arrangement proposed by Fries in the ‘ Epicrisis,’ though the
genus Folystictus wiU, in all probability, be ultimately adopted. No inconvenience
is likely to arise, as the genus Trametes includes so few British
