side, bright red, flesh-coloured; circumference radiato-dentate
; folds straight, radiating in rows.—Saw. t. 391 !
On bark. Very rare. Appin, Capt. Carmichael. Twycross,
Rev. A. Bloxam. Bright in colour, almost orange. Thicker
than the last.
3. P. contorta, Fr.; effused, rather firm, rufous, then brown,
smooth on either side ; circumference indeterminate ; folds
collected in little patches or ramulose, somewhat flexuous, disposed
irregularly.—Pers. Myc. Eur. t. 18. / . 5.
On decayed wood, etc. Rare. Linlithgowshire, Dr. Bauchop.
This is the only species of which I have not authentic specimens.
4. P. vaga, Fr. ; eftused, adnate ; circumference byssoid,
fibrillose, dirty-yellow ; hymenium yellowish-grey, formed of
creeping, intricate veins, which at length coalesce.
On decayed wood. Common. Arachnoid at first, then traversed
with intricate, fructifying veins rather than wrinkles,
which multiply rapidly, and form an intricate mass.
31. GEANDINIA, Fr.
Hymenium waxy, granulated ; granules obtuse, entire, equal,
crowded, smooth, persistent.
1. G. granulosa, Fr. ; waxy, widely effused, agglutinate,
tan-coloured ; circumference determinate, smooth ; hymenium
equal ; granules hemispherical, equal, crowded.
On fallen branches. Common.
32. ODONTIA, Fr.
Suhiculum formed of interwoven fibres, clothed with papillose
or spine-shaped warts, which are crested at the apex.
from the matrix, traversed by rhizomorphoid threads; circumference
fibrilloso-flmhriate; warts minute, granular; apex multifid,
reddish.
On fallen branches. Not uncommon. Frequently tinged
with lilac. Very pretty.
33. KNEIPPIA, Fr.
Soft, loosely fleshy, flocculose and collapsing when dry,
hymenium rough with rigid, scattered, and fasciculate bristles.
1. K. setigera, Fr.
On fallen branches. Not common. Wraxall, Somersetshire,
C. E. B. White, somewhat resembling Grandinia gra-
; in general appearance.
Obubii 4. AU B IO F LA R IN I
Hymenium confluent with the hymenophorum, at first
even or rarely veined, and commonly remaining even.*
34. CEATEEELLUS, Fr.
Fleshy. Hymenium unchangeable, caruoso-membranaceous,
distinct, smooth, even, or at length rugose. Putrescent when
old.
1. C. lutescens, F r . ; pileus submembranaceous, tuhseform,
soon pervious, brown, flocculose; stem hollow, yellow; hyme-
* In some Auricularini there are spurious papillæ which are wholly accidental,
and not essential, like the granules o f Grandinia. CratereUus is confluent
with Cantharellus, and Thelephora with Grandinia, but the veins o f the' one
and the papillæ of the other are less determinate. The folds in Auriculmna are
still less essential, and depend upon the nature of the texture. Natural, however,
as the whole group is, it is difficult to define it in words.
