168 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



somewhat coriaceous, acute, entirely concrete witli the pileus, 

 placed in rows, or netted and connected at the base into 

 lamellae, or porous folds. Liguatile fungi, rather coriaceous, 

 approaching Lcnzitcs and Daedalea, but the hymenium is 

 toothed from the first, the teeth not lacerated. (Fries.) 



Irpex pendulus. Fr. 



Pilei membranaceous, elastic, plicate, minutely squamuloso- 

 pilose, pale j^ellow, free above and pendulous ; teeth in irre- 

 gular rows, about 1 line long, more or less incised, shining 

 white. 



Irpex pendulus. Fries, Elench., p. 143 ; Stev., Fung., p. 249. 



On pine wood. More or h-ss circular, thin, 1-1^ in. across, 

 extended behind and pendulous. 



Pileus 1 in. or more broad, \qxj thin, somewhat resembling 

 paper, capable of being folded up or stretched, concrete or 

 infundibuliform, from a stem-like base, clothed with long, 

 even, pilose scales, so closely pressed that the wliole Hurface 

 appears slightly rugulose ; spines distinct, chiefly seated on 

 tlie produced base, which is at lengtli brownish, various in 

 form, generally arranged in rows. (Fries.) 



Irpex spathulatus. Fries. 



Broadly effused, inseparable, whitish, margin byssoid, 

 becoming defined ; teeth compressed or spathulate, 2-3 lines 

 long, coarse, s])ringing from reticulatidy arranged folds. 



Irpex siKUliulatm, Fries, Elench., p. 14G; Stev., Fung., p. 250. 



On larch, &c. Not porous, teeth largo and compressed, 

 often buff when dry. Often effused for several inches. 



Irpex obliquus. Fr. (figs. G, 7, p. 149.) 



"White or })a]lid, broadly efiused, inse])a]-al)le, margin 

 byssoid ; teeth obli(j[ue, thin, compressed, incised or torn, 

 2-3 lines long, rather crowded, springing from reticulately 

 arranged iolds. 



Irpex ohli(pins, Fries, Elench., p. 147 ; Stev., Fung., p. 250. 



On stumps, dead branches, &c. Effused for several 

 inches, superficially resembling some forms of Porta vaporaria, 

 where the pores are torn, Ijut coarser. 



This spreads in irregular jjalches on the surface of decaying 

 wood. The jjores for a small space round the margin are 

 round and distinct, but towards the centre are greatly
