io SOUTHERN POLYPORES 



12. CORIOLUS SUBLILACINUS Murrill 



Pileus imbricate-confluent, cup-shaped, sessile, 0.5-1 cm. 

 broad, less than I mm. thick; surface densely villose-tomentose, 

 scarcely zonate, white to discolored; margin thin, concolorous, 

 inflexed when dry, somewhat undulate; context thin, white, 

 membranous, rather rigid; tubes punctiform, less than I mm. 

 long, mouths angular to irregular, large for the size of the pileus, 

 3-5 to a mm., edges pale-lilac, fading to dull-avellaneous, rather 

 thick, entire. 



Collected once in Florida on dead branches. 



13. CORIOLUS MOLLIUSCULUS (Berk.) Murrill 



Pileus effused-reflexed, imbricate, laterally connate, the 

 reflexed portion dimidiate, conchate, 2-5 X 5-12 X 0.3-0.7 cm.; 

 surface white, obscurely zonate, nearly smooth, somewhat silky, 

 fibrillose-tomentose ; margin acute or obtuse, undulate to lobed; 

 context soft-corky, white, 1-2 mm. thick; tubes 3-5 mm. long, 

 white to discolored within, mouths large and irregular, variable 

 in size, averaging 2 to a mm., edges thin, lacerate-dentate, white 

 to discolored or light-bay; spores oblong, slightly curved, 7-9 

 X 2.5-3 At. 



Common throughout on dead deciduous wood. C. biformis 

 (Kl.) Pat. has been the usually accepted name for this species. 



14. CORIOLUS ABIETINUS (Dicks.) Quel. 



Pileus effused-reflexed, the reflexed portion thin, tough, flexible 

 to nearly rigid, 0.5-1.5 X 1-3 X 0.05-0.1 cm.; surface obsoletely 

 zonate, grayish-white, villose; margin thin, undulate to lobed, 

 fimbriate with age, incurved on drying; context very thin, white, 

 membranous; tubes uneven, irregular, soon becoming irpiciform, 

 mouths variable in size, 2-3 to a mm., edges thin, lacerate- 

 dentate, unequal, pallid or violet, fading with age, somewhat 

 flesh-tinted in dried specimens; spores globose, 4.5-5.5 M- 



Common throughout on decaying coniferous trunks. 



15. CORIOLUS PROLIFICANS (Fries) Murrill 



Pileus exceedingly variable, sessile or affixed by a short tubercle, 

 dimidiate to flabelliform, broadly or narrowly attached, 2-5 

 X 2-6 X 0.1-0.3 cm -; surface finely villose-tomentose, smooth, 

 white or slightly yellowish, marked with a few narrow, indistinct, 

 latericeous or bay zones; margin thin, sterile, entire to lobed; 

 context very thin, white, fibrous; tubes 1-3 mm. long, white to
