DECADES OF FUNGI. > 79 
Very nearly allied to. S. s£robilaceus, but the warts of the pileus, 
which are not at all imbricated, and the bright colour of their inter- 
stices in young specimens, are very remarkable. 
334. Polyporus (Mesopus) cremoricolor, n. s. ; tener subcarnosus ; pileo 
umbilieato glabro subviscoso, margine nudo repando cremoricolore ; 
stipite centrali deorsum subpubescente sursum glabrescente cum pileo 
concolore; poris minutis 4-5-gonis niveis, dissepimentis tenuissimis. 
Hook. fil., No. 107, cum ic. 
Has. On clay banks in Mr. Campbell’s garden, attached to decayed 
wood. Darjeeling, 7,000 feet. August. Rare. 
Cream-coloured, with a faint sweet smell Pileus delicate, of a 
somewhat fleshy substance, scarcely an inch across, smooth, rather 
viscid, umbilicate, with the margin arched and naked. Stem 3 3 of an 
inch high, central, more than a line thick, slightly pubescent below, 
becoming naked above, firm, solid. Pores minute, distinctly 4—5- 
gonal, with extremely thin dissepiments. 
Nearly allied to P. arcularius, and, like it, approaching closely to 
the genus Favolus. The whole fungus, however, is smoother, and the 
pores far smaller. In drying it becomes very thin. 
335. P. (Mesopus) umbilicatus, n. s.; carnoso-lentus cremoricolor ; 
pileo umbilicato demum subinfundibuliformi tenui rimoso virgato, mar- 
gine involuto ciliato; stipite curvo gracili sursum deorsumque in- 
crassato fibrilloso subtiliter squamuloso; poris minutis, dissepimentis 
tenuibus, acie tenui. 
Has. On dead wood. Tonglo and Sinchul, 8,000 feet. 
Inodorous. Pileus 11—3 inches or more broad, at first fleshy, then 
tough, umbilicate, at length subinfundibuliform, more or less cracked, 
virgate, snow-white or cream-coloured; margine involute, not ciliate. 
Stem 14 inch high, swelling above and below, fibrillose, minutelÿ — — 
squamulose, especially towards the base, where it springs from a stri- — 
gose downy disc. Hymenium white; pores minute, 3, of an inch in - 
diameter, angular; dissepiments thin; edge minutely toothed. ic 
This species has exactly the habit of several Lentini, and is most 
nearly allied to P. tricholoma, which is’ a smaller, thinner, and far 
more delicate species. P. ciliatus also somewhat resembles it, as also 
P. arcularius, and some other neighbouring species, but all differ in 
essential character. I have a specimen of the same species from Van _ 
Diemen's Land, which was given me by Mr. W. Gourlie, of Glasgow, > 
I believe it was bought at Dr. Graham’s sale.
