TROGIA, Pr. Mon. Hym.
Pileus submembranaceous, soft,
tougb, flaccid, but very dry, flexible,
reviving ; giUg venose, fold-like,
forked, edge longitudinally cban-
nelled or crisped ; texture fibrillose;
spores wbite. (Fig. 59.;
In the . only British species the edge of
the gills IS not channelled but obtuse, but it
has the habit, form, and texture of Troqia
and IS referred to that genus without doubt ’•
although the edges of the gills are not ohan!
uelled they are nevertheless crisped.

On dead wood. [New Orleans, U. S., &c.]
Pileus 1-1^ in. broad, sessile or with a short lateral stem, sometimes resupinate,
and supported by a stem-like process arising from the centre of the
pileus, white or greyish, zoned, tomentose; margin even or variously lobed
and split ; gills reddish-brown or whitish, flabelliform, apparently but not
truly forked, the inner barren face villous with the flocci, of which the substance
of the pileus is composed, the outer surface alone bearing spores.

Spores w bite; pilens coriaceous,

obtuse or acute; trama floccose ;
