cedente ; stipite nigro rugoso subreticulato glabrescente i poris decur- 

 rentibus parvis, acie tenuissima quandoque fimbriata. 



Hab. On dead wood. Sikkim. (Dr. Hooker.) 



Pileus 1-2 inches across, suborbicular, umbilicate, at first of an um- 

 ber ^ey, slightly tinged with red, minutely velvety or flocculent, at 

 length perfectly smooth but rugose, of a deep chestnut-red brown. 

 Margin extremely thin, extending beyond the pores, at first flocculose 

 beneath, but by no means ciliated. Stem |-1 inch high, 2 lines thick, 

 black at first, downy like the pileus. Pores decurrent, but more so in 

 the more excentric specimens, minute, about -^L. of an inch across, an- 

 gular; dissepiments thin ; edge very thin, sometimes denticulate, pallid. 



Allied to F. melanopus^ but differing in the very acute dissepiments, 

 and more darkly coloured.

A most distinct species, with the habit of P, auriscalpium, but with 

 no very certain relation,
