435. P, (Inodennei) corium, n. s. ; Candidas ; pileo papyraceo-cori- 

 aceo teimi flexili subtiliter tomentoso; poris parvis, dissepimentis 

 tenuissirais, acie acuta subintegra. 



Hab. Sikkim. 13,000 feet. (Dr. Hooker.) 



White. Pileiis H inch broad, attached behiud and decurrent, re- 

 flexed in front, of a thin flexible substance, resembling white kid 

 leather; nearly smooth, rugose, margin arched. Pores minute, -^ of 

 an inch across, angular ; dissepiments thin ; edge nearly entire. 



A singular species, remarkable for its flexible texture, resembling 

 somewhat very thin specimens of P. velutmus, 



436. P. (Inodermei) gratusy n, s. ; pileo postice latissime decurrente^ 



margine reflexo, subtiliter sericeo lanatoque ligneo-pallido ; contextu 



candidissimo, serins cum pileo concolore; poris longis minutis dentato- 

 elongatis. 



Hab. On the ground, doubtless attached to wood. Himalayas. (Dr. 

 Hooker.) 



Pilaus 4 inches broad, decurrent for three inches, the reflected por- 

 tion about an inch long, pale wood-coloured, finely silky, and in parts 

 delicately woolly, especially behind \ substance tolerably firm, thin, here 

 and there white as snow, but at length coloured like the pileus, brittle. 

 Pores 2-3 lines deep, not y|^ of an inch broad, delicate. Edge pro- 

 duced principally in front into one or more acute teeth, 



A very delicate species, allied to P, veluilnus, remarkable for its long- 

 toothed pores. 



437. P. (Eesupinatus) cereus, n. s,; resupinatus, tenuis, mycelio spon- 

 gioso ferrugineo oriundus j contextu parco flaro ; poris minutis cereis, 

 acie tenui denticulata. 



Hab. On dead wood. East Nepal; high valleys. (Dr. Hooker.) 

 Spread over the surface of the wood for 3 or 4 inches, substratose, 

 thin, invested with a spongy ferruginous mycelium ; substance thin, yel- 

 low. Pores wax-coloured, minute, -^ of an inch across, angular; edge 

 thin, sometimes lacerated, sometimes drawn out into acute teeth. 



A stalactitic form occurs, in which the edge of the tubes is more re- 

 gularly drawn out.. This I had at fii'st supposed a form of P. scrujjosus. 

 438, P. (Eesupinatus) Beharemis, n. s.; resupinatus, margine re- 

 flexus; supra umbrinus, subvclutinus j hymenio albo; poris primum 

 punctiformibus parvis, acie obtusissima, sero tantum elongatis acie acu- 



tiuscula. 



Had. On dead wood. Soaue river, Behar. (Dr. Hooker.)
