Hab, On dead wood, Panure. February, 1853. 



Pileus 2 incbes across, convex, moderately tbick, attenuated behind, 

 snow-white, smooth ; substance white. Hymeniura slightly disco- 

 loured ; .pores angular, minute, xio ^^ ^^ ^^^^^ across; dissepiments 

 thin ; edge entire. 



Distinguished by its snow-white, smooth pileus. 



571. P. (Anodermei) armeniacus, n. s. ; armeniacus; pileo dimidiato 

 subconvexo crassiuseulo rugoso tomeatoso; hymenio concolori; poris 

 minutis subpunctiformibus, acie subintegra. Spruce, n. 39, 191. 



Hab. On dead trunks. Panure. 



Pileus 2 1 inches across, dimidiate, slightly convex, rugose, minutely 

 downy, pale apricot-coloured, moderately thick. Stem none. Hyme- 

 niura of the same colour as the pileus ; pores minute, y^ of an inch 

 across, subpunctiform ; edge nearly entire ; substance tolerably compact. 



572. P. (Anodermei) detritus, n. s. ; albus ; pileo convexo e pruinoso 

 glabrato sulcato-zonato ; hymenio planiusculo ; poris minutis puncti- 

 formibus. Sprace, n. 43, 49, 191. 



Hab. On dead wood. Panure. 



Pileus 2 inches or more across, convex, sometimes ungulate, prui- 



h smooth with a satiny lustre, concentrically sulcata. 

 Hymenium sometimes slightly concave, but plane in the most perfect 

 specimens] pores distinct, punctifonn ; edge obtuse. 



Mr. Spruce compares the most perfect form with No. 43, and I 

 cannot distinguish them, though there is some slight difference. 

 Taking No. 49 to be the type, the species is allied to P. ocliroleucus, 

 Berk. I am the rather inclined to think them identical because P. 



anebus, Bevk,, is perfectly analogous. ■ 



573. P. (Anodermei) ^endothrix, n. s.; uugulato-subimbricatus; pileo 

 extus badio fibroso velutino, intus zonato, fibroso-spongioso umbrino; 

 hymenio griseo ; poris par\is dentatis.

Pileus 2 inches or more across, H inch long, ungulato-subimbricate, 

 very light, fibroso-velvety above, zoned within, consisting of an iutncatc 

 mass of fibres, mixed with finer, umber, spongy tissue. Hymeiuum 

 grey, with a purplish tint ; pores small, ^ of an inch across, shallow, 

 toothed; dissepiments rather thick, rigid.
