Tribe 2. FOMITEAE. Hymenophore large, woody, perennial, rarely small or 

 annual; surface anoderm or encrusted, usually sulcate, sometimes varnished; 

 context punky or woody, variously colored; tubes cylindric, usually thick- 

 walled; spores rounded, smooth or verrucose, hyaline or brown; cystidia fre- 

 quently present; surface of pileus conidia-bearing in a few species; stipe rarely 

 present, the hymenophore usually being sufficiently elevated by its host. 

 Annual forms and species in a few genera connect this group with the Poly- 

 poreae; while the tendency at times to produce a daedaleoid hymenium, shown 

 especially in Porodaedalea, connects it with the Daedaleae. 



Tubes at first concealed by a volva. 

 Tubes free from the first. 



Surface of hymenophore covered with reddish-brown 



varnish; context punky to corky.

Context white, flesh-colored, or wood-colored. 

 Context brown or latericeous. 



Surface not encrusted; or, if so, context woody. 

 Hymenium porose. 

 Spores hyaline. 

 Spores brown. 



Hymenium porose-daedaleoid. 

 Surface encrusted; context punky.

Tribe 3. DAEDALEAE. Hymenium annual, very rarely perennial, coriaceous to 

 woody, variable in size; surface anoderm, hairy or glabrous, variously marked; 

 context white or brown, fibrous, woody, or punky; hymenium exceedingly 

 variable, normally labyrinthiform or lamelloid, but often poroid or even irpici- 

 form, never stratified; spores smooth, brown or hyaline. Poroid and irpiciform
