Not more than a few lines across, of irregular form, becoming

in some of its characters C. saccharinum, but the substance is 
quite different.” (M. J. Berkeley.)

Cystidia very variable in size, some hair-like, but aseptate and 
colourless.. Broadly and irregularly effused over wood or bark. 
The specimen in the Kew set of “Fung. New Jersey, U.S.A., 
3144,” under the above name is not a Peniophora, and differs 
from Fries’s diagnosis in having the hymenium glabrous, and is 
possibly an imperfect state of Corticium calceum. 
Europe.
