Ochraceous, villous or strigose, when old often becoming 

 smooth ; sometimes broadly effused and entirely adnate, in others 

 the margin only free and upturned, in others again quite free 

 and attached by a narrow base. It is not unusual to meet with 

 all transitions from entirely adnate to the flabelliform condition 

 on the same trunk. Hymenium pale ochre, smooth, cracked, 

 especially when dry ; the latter character separates it from 

 Stereum hirsutum, and also from Corticium. which the adnate

form resembles.
