60. Inonotus radiatus (Sow.) Karst. Rev. Myc. 3 : 19. 1881. 

 Boletus radiatus Sow. 



Known as Polypoitis radiatus (Sow.) Fr. Found on the 

 alder. Rare. 



61. Coltricia cinnamomea (Jacq.) Murrill, Bull. Torr. Club 



31 :343. 1904. 

 Boletus cinnamomeus Jacq. 



The same as Polyporus subsericeus Peck and Polystictus 

 cinnamomeus Jacq. The distinguishing characteristic of 

 this species is its thin, shining pileus, bright cinnamon in 

 color and marked by silky striations. It is a small plant, 

 with a slender, central stipe, and usually grows on mossy 

 ground. The pileus is always somewhat depressed at the 

 center, and sometimes very much so. A rare plant as far as 

 the writer's collecting goes, but it is small and easily over- 

 looked.
