On charred trunks of Abies subalpina Eng. Mountains of 

 Colorado, 10,000 ft. alt. July 1894. Prof. C. S. Crandall. 



Effused and laterally connate for several centimeters, about 1 cm. 

 thick and 5-6 cm. broad, immarginate and entirely resupinate or, 

 in some specc. with a very slight, reflexed margin, of soft, spongy 

 texture and light orange color within and without, Pores large* 

 1-2 mm. diam., with a thin, membranaceous, white, toothed margin. 

 The spores perhaps from immaturity could not be satisfactorily 

 made out.

 drying; margin white, cottony or arachnoid; granules small, whitish 

 at the apex. Spores, elliptical, dull yellow, 5 — 6x 3 //. On clavate- 

 cylindrical basidia about 15x6 //, with 2 — 4 short, 4 — 5 //., sporo- 

 phores. The hymenium at length becomes rimose, exposing the 

 white subiculum. 



Peniophora trachytricha E. & E.

Thin, milk-white at first, becoming yellowish and thicker as the 

 hymenium forms, extending along for 6 inches or more, surface at 

 first minutely granular, at length floccose- tubercular, resembling 

 Kneiffia. Margin thin granular-cottony. Cystidia subcylindrical, 

 coarsely tubercular-roughened, or sometimes with the upper part 

 smooth and the tip swollen. 100-120x10-12 //, the free projecting 

 ends about 40-50 <>. long, basidia clavate- cylindrical 12-15 x 3 j-
