On dead wood. Ceylon ; S. Carolina. 



Consisting at first of very thin, white, arachnoid patches of 

 mycelium which eventually give origin to a waxy hymenium in 

 the centre.

Fries considers the above species to be the same as the figure 

 of Bolton, t. 166. f. d, whereas the figure is considered by 

 Berkeley to represent Stereum rugosum. In the absence of 

 specimens it is impossible to say to what genus Fries's plant 

 belongs ; the velvety hymenium points to BTgmenochate, as does 

 also the colour. 



On bark of cherry. Europe.

 subtus umbrinum, ambitu determinato, uigro-strigoso, demura
