34 WESTERN POLYPORES 



a mm., edges thick, firm, entire; spores ellipsoid, smooth, hyaline, 

 8-12 X 3-4 M- 



Occasional in Oregon and reported also from California. It is 

 very destructive to coniferous timber, and sometimes causes 

 heart-rot in living trunks. 



SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES 



Fulvifomes juniperinus (Schrenk) Murrill was recently found by Meinecke on 

 Juniperus occidentalis in Nevada County, California. This collection represents 

 the form described as Pyropolyporus Earlei. The species may be readily recog- 

 nized by its reddish-brown context. 



Two or three interesting new species just received from the Pacific coast will 

 shortly be described in Mycologia. Further collecting will undoubtedly add other 

 novelties to this group, besides extending the range of species already known. It 

 is also desirable, if possible, to account for several species reported by Harkness 

 but not since collected.
