Some hymenomycetous Fungi from South America 
By EDWARD A. Burt 
In February, 1901, there was sent to me for determination a 
package of very interesting Hymenomycetes, collected by Profes- 
sor C. F. Baker in Santa Marta, United States of Colombia, in 
December, 1898. I am indebted to Professor W. G. Farlow for 
the privilege of confirming the determinations of some of the 
‘Species by my comparison with authentic specimens in the Curtis 
herbarium and to Dr. Lars Romell for his sharing with me several 
of the species described in his Hymenomycetes Austro-Americanti. 
Lenzires striata Swartz. Nos. 12 and 20. Inno. 12 the 
Spores are hyaline, even, inequilateral, 8-g x 4-4% pu. 
LenzITEs REPANDA (Mont.) Fr. No. 27. 
Lenzires Parisoti Fr. No. 29. This specimen has the sub- 
stance of the pileus slightly darker than in no. 27 and the lamellae 
slightly darker and more porose-anastomosing. Bresadola, in 
Fungi Kamerunenses, p. xxxv, and Romell, in Hymenomycetes 
Austro-Americani, p. 11, regard Lenzttes repanda and L. Palisoti 
as but forms of Lenzites applanata Fr., a species varying in color 
and other characters with age. : 
Potyporus Fruticum B. & C. On under side of green coria- 
ceous leaves, no. 19. The fructifications of the specimens sent to 
me are about 3—5 mm. in diameter — only about one third the diam- 
eter of authentic specimens collected in Cuba by Wright (422) but 
are certainly the same species. The spores, as seen with the 
microscope in sections, are melleous, even, allantoid or flattened on 
One side, 3~3.5 x 1.5~2 #2; no setae present in the hymenium. 
Fomes carngus Nees. No. 211. 
Potystictus ARENICOLOR B. & C. No. 35. 
Potysticrus FLABELLUM Mont. No. 21. 
1s by Bresadola. 
Po.ysricrus urrsutus Fr. No. 210. : 
Potysticrus LicnorpEs Mont. No. 25. Probably this species 
_ but immature ; the tubes are only barely forming and do not show 
_ Spores and setae. 
This determination
