234 DECADKS OF FUNGI 



coriaceous, at first velvety behind, radiato-rugose and marked with 

 raised lines, repeatedly zonedj pink, tinged with fawn, and at length 

 copper-coloured, shining with a silky lustre, especially with age ; mar- 

 gin acute, lobed or nearly entire ; substance pink. Hymenium flat or 

 convex, rose-coloured, at length vinous ; pores middle-sized, -^ of an 

 inch across, flexuous. 



A most splendid species, varying in shade with age, but always dis- 

 playing beautiful red tints ; in one variety obscured both above and 

 below with umber. The colour of the hymenium in the younger spe- 

 cimens is just that of raspberries and cream.

 There are two forms, — one thinner, broader, more flexiblCj and with 

 paler, more concentrically arranged pores. 



583, P. (Inodermei) albo-cervinuSy n. s. ; pileo tenui coviaceo flabel- 

 liformi reniformique cervino subtiliter tomentoso zonato rugosiusculo ; 

 hymenio albo ; poris minutis punctiformibus. Spruce, n, 23. 



Hab. On dead trunks. Panure, and at the foot of Mount Cocui. 

 Pileus 2 inches across, thin, coriaceous, very variable in form, some- 

 times spuriously stipitate and cuneiform, sometimes flabelliform, some- 

 times reniform or effused and veflexed, fawn-coloured, zoned, even or 

 radiato-i-ugose. Hymenium white or slightly tinged with umber ; pores 

 minute, j\^ of an inch across, pnnctiform. 



This pretty but very variable species has many points in common 

 with P. Didriclisenii, but differs evidently in the far smaller pores.
