DOUBTFUL SPECIES, 
Trametes mexicana Berk, & Curt. in Berk. Jour. Linn. Soc. 9: 423. 1867. Described 
from Botteri’s collections near Orizaba, Mexico. The type specimens at Kew are in very 
poor condition. The size of the tubes suggests this genus rather than Coriolopsis. 
Ceriomyces mexicanus de Seynes, Bull. Soc. Myc. Fr. 6: 102. 1890. An abnormal 
species resembling members of the genus Punxalza. More material is necessary in order 
to locate it definitely. 
51. TRICHAPTUM Murrill, Bull. Torrey Club 31: 608. 1904. 
Hymenophore annual, epixylous, sessile, dimidiate: context brown, firm and leathery 
below, very loosely fibrous and darker above ; tubes short, thin-walled, mouths polygonal, 
at times becoming labyrinthiform : spores smooth, hyaline.
