Corticium fumosum, Fr. Irregulariter effusum, molle, subtus 

 ambituque tomento fumosum (fusco-canum) ; hymenio ceraceo, 

 glabro, albo-pruinoso. — Fr. Fpicr. p. 562 ; Fr. Hym. Eur. 651 ; 

 Fr. Icon. 198. — Hypoclmus fumosus, Fr. Obs. ii. p. 279 (sterile 

 mycelium of above species). 



N. Europe. On rotten wood, usually fibrous and sterile. 

 Fries states that he only once met with a fertile specimen on 

 dry leaves. It is doubtful whether the reference to Karst. Myc. 

 Fenn. given by Fries refers to the right species, as the specimen 

 (in the Kew copy) in Karst. Fung. Fenn. n. 916, called " Cor- 

 ticium fumosum " Fr., is a true Thelephora with brown, globose, 

 warted spores.
