50 Ellis and Everhart : New Species of Fungi 



The hymenium is of a somewhat waxy nature, smooth, but 

 uneven, showing the inequalities of the bark. 



■ 



Hymenochaete asperata E. & E. 



On pine bark, Abita, East Louisiana, Jan. 1898 (Langlois, 



no. 2647). 



Effused, adnate, dull yellow, becoming a little darker in the 

 center, thin, margin irregular, spreading over the bark in irreg- 

 ular shaped patches, 2—6 or more cm. in extent : setae stout, 

 60—70 X 7—8 fi y tubercular-roughened above and often prolonged 

 at the tip into a hyaline, lance-shaped slender point 20-30 fi long, 

 but often the tips of the setae are rounded and obtuse but still 

 hyaline : spores small, subglobose, 3 ft. 



Seems different from H. scabriseta Cke. 



Zygodesmus pubidus E. & E. 



Forming a thin, loosely compacted, light yellow, membrana- 

 ceous, subpuberulent coating on rotten wood. Newfoundland 



(Rev. A. C. Waghorne, no. 1026). 



Hyphae branching at right angles, subhyaline, sparingly sep- 

 tate, with an occasional zygodesmoid joint : conidia short-elliptical, 

 hyaline, smooth, 4X3 fa with a single large mostly eccentric 

 nucleus. 



Mucronoporus sublilacinus E. & E. 



On pine logs, Abita Springs, East Louisiana (Langlois, no. 



2529). 



Pileus semiorbicular, firm, flat, 6—7 cm. long, 9-10 cm. broad, 



repeatedly zonate with elevated ridges and shallow furrows ; sur- 

 face at first clothed with a cinereous-gray cuticle which finally 

 disappears: margin spreading, subacute, pores round, 0.5—1 cm. 

 long, mouths slightly uneven, obtuse, 200// in diameter (not includ- 

 ing dissepiments), lilac color on the surface, cinnamon color within ; 

 flesh bright cinnamon-yellow, zonate within, about 0.5 cm. thick 

 in the middle, thinning out towards the margin ; spines stout, 

 cylindrioconical, projecting part 1 5-20 x 4 ft. 



The lilac colored, larger pores and thicker substance distinguish 

 this from M. lie noi ties Mont. 



Dacryomyces cenangioides E. & E. 



On dead 



W. Va.. Dec. t8o? (U W 



T 



Nuttall, no. 922).
