NEW SPECIES OF FUNGI FEOM VARIOUS LOCALITIES. 

 BY J. B. ELLIS AND B. M. EVERHART. 



* HYMENOMYCETES. 



Crepidotus albidus E. & E. 



On bark of {Tiliay. Ann Arbor, Mich., May, 1894 (A. J. 

 Pieters). 



Pileus resupinate-sessile, nearly white, glabrous, i-l cm. across, 

 margin incurved when dry. Lamelke not crowded, thin, broad for 

 the size of the plant, pallid, becoming yellowish-brown, radiating 

 from a lateral point, spores yellowish-brown, subinequilaterally 

 elliptical, about 5 x 3i'^. 



Polyporus pachycheiles E. & E. 



On the side of a rotten maple {Acer rubrum) stump, Newfield, N. 

 J., Nov. 1893. 



Imbricated, small, lj-2 cm. wide, 1 cm. long, milk-white at 

 first, margin soon turning yellow, mostly narrowed behind, the pilei 

 connected by a resupinate layer, surface apparently velutiuous but 

 not tomentose, hardly depressed behind. Pores minute, 2-3 mm. 

 long, 120-150//. wide, round or by the splitting of the walls, here 

 and there subsinuate, margins even, not lacerate-toothed. Flesh of 

 pileus thin, not over 1 mm. thick and like the pores and the whole 

 plant tough-cartilaginous. Surface of pileus faintly zonate toward 

 the margin, more distinctly so in drying. The pores are nearly as 

 long in front as behind, thus thickening the margin of the pileus, 

 hence the specific name. 



Poria inermis E. & E. ^ 



On dead shrubs and limbs of various deciduous trees, Newfield, 

 N. J. Received also from Michigan, Canada, Nebraska and 

 Louisiana. Issued in N. A. F., No. 313, as Polyporus obliqmis, 

 from which it is quite distinct. 



Resupinate, adnate, seriate, extending along the limb for six 

 inches or more and about one inch wide, yellowish- brown, 2-4 ram. 

 thick in the middle, margin thin, narrow, light-yellow (when fresh) 

 and closely adnate. Pores small, round, extending down to the 

 underlying wood. Spores ferruginous, sub-globose, 4-5/'. diara.
