DECADES or FUNGI. 169 



Hab. Oi] dead wood. East Nepal. (Di\ Hooker.) 

 Pileus 2 inches across, 1 inch long, dimidiate, thin, of a soft, spongy 

 consistence, brown, becoming dirty-white, clothed with scattered, brown, 

 fasciculate, strigose threads, slightly zoned in front ; edge acute, more or 

 less fringed; substance tinged with reddish-grey. Hymenium brown; 

 teeth short, irregular, often notched above, subacute, pulverulent. 



This curious Eungus combines the habit of Lenzites striata with the 

 characters of Radulum, The specimens are not in the least decurrent, 

 and the teeth are apparently in their normal condition.

Corky, 3 lines thick. Pileus 2 inches across, decurrent behind, re-

 coarsely velvety ; margin obtuse; substance deep orange or brick-red, 

 clothed, where attached, with spongy pubescence of the same colour.

colour of its mycelium.
