PENIOPHORA BAMBUSICOLA, Massee. Subrotunda, gilva, sea- 
brida, tenuis, margine subfimbriato concolore; sporis globosis, 
brunneis, levis, 11 u.— Corticium bambusicola, Berk. & Broome

Forms roundish patches of a dull ochraceous or gilvous 
colour, cracked in drying, and slightly fimbriate at the margin; 
the substance is composed of loose branched threads closely 
adhering to the matrix; the surface is rough under the lens, 
with conical cystidea and brown spherical spores, 00004 to 
000045 inch in diameter (= about 11 a). It would come under 
the subgenus Peniophora of Cooke. The attachment of the 
spores has not been seen. (Berk. 4 Broome.) 
This anomalous species is intermediate between Coniophora 
and Peniophora, agreeing with the former in the large coloured 
spores, and with the latter in having the hymenium studded 
witb cystidia.
