DECADES OF FUNGI. : 501 
Pores rosy grey, very minute, but visible to the naked eye, 
punctiform. 
À very elegant species, resembling in colour P. Feei and 
P. carneus, but without any distinct cuticle. 
P. carneus, too, is described as glabrous, which is not the 
case with the present species, which I should otherwise have 
been inclined to think a well developed form of the Java 
Fungus.

natus, pileo tenui applanato sepe nodoso. 
On decaying wood. Hautane, Sept. 1844. 
This is a thin variety, which in some conditions, has so 
little the habit of the normal form as almost to demand the 
proposition of a new species; but other specimens are ungu- 
late, and quite like the European species.

On wood and dead branches. 
Varying singularly in appearance. 
Specimens which have grown rapidly are thin and acute, 
while those which have been many years growing, become 
thick, with a remarkably obtuse grooved margin, caused by 
the successive stages of growth, of which 16 or more may be 
traced. :
